MLB Disciplines Umpire Pat Hoberg for Gambling Rule Violation, Hoberg Appeals
Jun 14, 2024, 10:57 PM
Major League Baseball (MLB) has disciplined umpire Pat Hoberg for violating the league's gambling rules. The specific nature of the discipline has not been disclosed. Hoberg has denied betting on baseball and is appealing the ruling. MLB's investigation did not find any evidence that games called by Hoberg were compromised or manipulated. Hoberg, who once called a perfect game in the 2022 World Series and was the first umpire to eject Aaron Boone during his tenure with the Yankees, was removed from the field during spring training amid the investigation. The story was first reported by Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich.
