These seem like the kind of guys Ross Atkins would target.

Longtime MLB umpire Angel Hernandez retires immediately: 'Very good experience'​

Longtime MLB umpire Angel Hernandez retires immediately: 'Very good experience'

The 62-year-old was often scorned by players, managers and fans for missed calls and quick ejections -- some in high-profile situations.

About 30 years or so too late, but finally. Should go down in history as the worst umpire that ever officiated in MLB. Some of his terrible calls were legendary.

Likely forgot the words.

I would not want to be on cleanup duty at the stadium after that game.

Paying money for an advertisers patch? Good luck with that.

Fantastic event. We were just in Seattle last week for Bark at the Park (and have gone multi-years there and once in Houston). There are pet relief areas set up and pretty well run with a limited seating area. There are still some accidents but super fun!

I'm skeptical. Can't be easy having a 5 year old at a game and content for 3 straight hours but could be at placated with junk food, pop and mascots, let alone a pet that has absolutely no idea what's going on.

And yet it happens every year for multiple games at multiple ballparks at multiple league levels. There's advance waivers and protocol considerations including pre-game bathroom breaks for dogs. Teams restrict to specific sections to help control and mitigate issues. Obviously some self reflection needs to be done if one's dog isn't well socialized or has anxiety issues with crowds, noise or other creatures. Have gone for years and have never seen any issues other than an occasional accident in aisle 1.

End of the day he will always be remembered. He is a legend in his own way.

He sure will be. Just not for all the reasons you'd likely want to be remembered for.

True to bolded. Sometimes people can be far worse with spilled drinks, puke, and fighting.

Man thank god that the Oilers are doing so well. Really makes it easy to ignore the Blue Jays performance because...

...these f***ers stink. Had a part of my buddy's bachelor party in of the hotel rooms that backed on to the dome. But man, the Jays were having an absolute bitch of a time with the Pirates. The Pirates do not maketh a championship club.
