MLB Umpire Ángel Hernández Announces Retirement
Controversial Career Ends
Polarizing Umpire Leaves Lasting Legacy
Ángel Hernández, the Cuban-American umpire known for his controversial calls, has announced his retirement from Major League Baseball (MLB). Hernández, who worked in the National League from 1991 to 1999, has been a lightning rod for criticism throughout his career.
While Hernández was never considered MLB's worst umpire statistically, he was undoubtedly the most polarizing. His calls often sparked debates and fueled controversy. Despite the criticism, Hernández remained a fixture in MLB, working high-profile games and even umpiring in the World Series.
Hernández's final season was marred by a back injury that delayed his start until August. He finished the regular season as the lowest-rated umpire among those who officiated at least 10 games.
In the end, Hernández's legacy is likely to be defined by his contentious calls and the debates he sparked. While he may not have been the most skilled umpire in MLB history, he was undoubtedly one of the most memorable and will be missed by both fans and players alike.
