Ángel Hernández unsuccessfully sued Major League Baseball for racial discrimination.
Longtime umpire Ángel Hernández, who unsuccessfully sued Major League Baseball for racial discrimination, is retiring immediately.During a career that lasted more than three decades, the 62-year-old Hernández was often scorned by players, managers and fans for missed calls and quick ejections — some in high-profile situations.Hernández issued a statement through MLB on Monday night saying he has decided he wants to spend more time with his family.
'Hernández has failed to establish a statistically significant disparity between the promotion rates of white and minority umpires,' the 2nd Circuit said in an 11-page decision. 'MLB has provided persuasive expert evidence demonstrating that, during the years at issue, the difference in crew chief promotion rates between white and minority umpires was not statistically significant. Hernández offers no explanation as to why MLB's statistical evidence is unreliable.
