MLB fires ump Hoberg for shared betting account
MLB fired umpire Pat Hoberg for "sharing" legal gambling accounts with a poker player who bet on baseball. MLB said there was no evidence Hoberg bet on baseball himself.
Dude was objectively best ball/strike caller in the game. In Game 2 of the 2022 World Series he called all 129 taken balls and strikes correctly (!) and was considered among the best overall.
It always baffles me how stupid some people are and how they justify what they're doing because they're "at the top."
Just dumb.
For decades, we can't get rid of guys who are TERRRRRRRRRIBBBBBBBBLE at their jobs (looking at you Eric Gregg and Angel Hernandez) and then guys like Holber do stuff like this.
