The Athletic: ‘Controversial MLB umpire Angel Hernandez to retire immediately’
Baseball’s most controversial umpire is calling it a career. Angel Hernandez, who has been criticized by many in the game for decades, will retire.
He’s infamous for his touchiness on the field and questionable pitch calling (to put it generously). Couldn’t imagine a better eulogy of his career than Umpire Auditor on Threads:
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Ángel Hernández.
You gave me more content than I could have possibly dreamed of.
I didn’t deserve you.
Enjoy your retirement, king.
