MLB umpire Ángel Hernández, known for controversial calls and poor performance, retired this week after over three decades in the league. Despite criticism from players and fans, including a lawsuit for racial discrimination in 2017, Hernández's retirement was not forced. His departure marks the end of a long tenure characterized by missed calls and public backlash, with MLB keeping him out of high-profile games for years. The unique case illuminates the challenges faced by umpires in a thankless job.
