Major League Baseball umpire Angel Hernandez has filed a suit against both MLB and commissioner Rob Manfred over displeasure of not receiving additional postseason assignments or other promotions due to perceived racial motivations.

“The selection of these less qualified, white individuals over Hernandez was motivated by racial, national origin and/or ethnic considerations,” reads the lawsuit via Cincinnati.com

In addition to the lawsuit against Manfred, Hernandez charges that the opportunities for him to work World Series games and to become a full-time crew chief have been stunted since Joe Torre took over as chief baseball officer of MLB in 2011.

“Though it may seem as if Major League Baseball’s problems with Hernandez begin and end with some personal animus, Torre, and some other individuals in the Office of the Commissioner may have towards Hernandez, an overview of how Major League Baseball has treated minorities such as Hernandez shows a much deeper and more troubling trend,” reads the lawsuit.

The 55-year-old Hernandez was born in Havana, Cuba, and is one of few minority umpires currently employed by MLB.

Hernandez has worked two World Series in his career, neither of which involved the Joe Torre-managed New York Yankees. A portion of the lawsuit claims that he had been denied opportunities to umpire in the World Series.

As recently as last season, he umpired the NLCS between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. He has appeared in both the division series and league championship series on eight separate occasions in his career, as well as two All-Star Games.

He is currently working under crew chief Ted Barrett.

Just because you work the same job for years doesn't make you the most qualified. But hey, as long as you aren't white you always have that card in the back pocket to pull. What a joke

Hernandez is generally regarded by the players, many of whom are Hispanic, as one of the worst umpires in the league.
