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.
Umpire Ángel Hernández looks on during the first inning of a baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros, Aug. 4, 2023, in New York.
Hernández issued a statement through MLB on Monday night saying he has decided he wants to spend more time with his family.“Starting with my first major league game in 1991, I have had the very good experience of living out my childhood dream of umpiring in the major leagues. There is nothing better than working at a profession that you enjoy.
Hernández sued in 2017. He alleged he was discriminated against because he had not been assigned to the World Series since 2005 and had been passed over for crew chief. He served as an interim crew chief from 2011-16.
