The ALDS between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox has not gone well for umpire Angel Hernandez. He’s had three calls overturned, including two in the early part of Monday’s game.
Peter Gammons, honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame as the 2004 J. G. Taylor Spink Award, brutally trolled Hernandez on Monday.
Thankfully Angel Hernandez wasn't in on Brown v. Board of Education. It would have been overturned

We’d advise that Gammons be careful. Hernandez isn’t exactly known to accept criticism well. And this isn’t limited to players and managers.
What’s really scary is that Hernandez is at first base on Monday. So, for Tuesday’s Game 4, which will be an elimination game for one of these teams, he’ll be behind the plate. That promises to be loads of fun.
