An umpire honored Angel Hernandez’s retirement with the worst-called MLB game of 2024


Hey, here’s the best way to honor Angel Hernandez’s legacy of bad calls after the embattled umpire retired earlier this week.

Brian Walsh was behind the dish for the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels game on Wednesday, and per Umpire Auditor, he called the worst game of 2024, missing a whopping 24 calls, and sending Walsh to near the bottom of the ump rankings this year.
