Rangers catcher hits umpire in the face

Texas Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba is playing winter baseball in the Venezuelan league. In a game on Friday, he began arguing with the home plate umpire after swinging at strike three.The situation quickly got out of control. Baseball is by far my favorite sport, but the culture that allows the blatant disrespect of umpires is embarrassing. It's the only sport that lets players, coaches, and managers curse at the officials to their faces, kick dirt on them and whatever else. Now, the culture has devolved into striking umpires. Have a look at the video below and let's do what we can to change the sports environment (email subscribers click here). This simply can't continue. Until next time...

Be a Good Sport!
