Angel Hernandez is suing Major League Baseball:
Hernandez is suing Major League Baseball and commissioner Rob Manfred, alleging racial discrimination in making assignments, Cincinnati.com reported Monday. Hernandez, 55 and a big-league umpire since 1991, believes he should be a full-time crew chief and that he was good enough to have worked more than two World Series. He was assigned to the Series in 2002 and 2005.
…
Hernandez also believes MLB vice president Joe Torre has given him poor marks since 2011, when Torre joined the commissioner’s office, because of a longstanding personal feud.
I tend to know the umpires who are not that good, as their calls tend to be scrutinized more. I certainly know the name Angel Hernandez. You do remember the bad calls more than the good ones, but my impression is that Hernandez is not a good umpire.
