Going … going … gone. MLB’s most disliked official has called his final game.
Longtime umpire Angel Hernandez, criticized by fans for his shocking inaccuracy behind home plate, is retiring after agreeing to a contract buyout with the league. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale announced the news Monday, giving fans a reason to exhale.
“MLB and Hernández had spent the past two weeks negotiating a financial settlement before reaching a resolution over the weekend,” Nightengale wrote.

Craig Counsell played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball, including two stints with the Milwaukee Brewers, and he retired with the Brewers in 2011. Counsell joined the Brewers front office immediately following his retirement and eventually became the team’s manager in 2015.
He spent the next nine seasons managing Milwaukee, reaching the playoffs in five of his final six seasons. Though the Brewers reached the postseason five times and won three NL Central crowns, they won just one playoff series.
