Major League Baseball (MLB) fired umpire Pat Hoberg for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and deleting electronic messages related to the league's investigation. While the investigation found no evidence Hoberg personally bet on baseball or manipulated games, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred upheld the recommendation for termination due to Hoberg's poor judgment and the appearance of impropriety.
NEW YORK — Umpire Pat Hoberg was fired by Major League Baseball on Monday for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and for intentionally deleting electronic messages pertinent to the league's investigation.
MLB said the friend made 141 baseball bets between April 2, 2021 and Nov. 1, 2023 totaling almost $214,000 with an overall win of nearly $35,000. Now 38, Hoberg made his big league debut in 2014. During Game 2 of the 2022 World Series, he had an unprecedented “umpire's perfect game” by accurately calling balls and strikes on all 129 taken pitches, according to computer tracking.
