You have got to be shitting me ...

http://www.closecallsports.com/2017/07/2017-mlb-all-star-game-umpires.html

HP Umpire Joe West (crew chief): 3rd All-Star Game.
1B Umpire Angel Hernandez: 3rd All-Star Game.
2B Umpire Mark Carlson: 2nd All-Star Game.
3B Umpire Chris Conroy: 1st All-Star Game.
LF Umpire Manny Gonzalez: 1st All-Star Game.
RF Umpire Mike Estabrook: 1st All-Star Game.
Replay Official Doug Eddings: 1st ASG Replay.


Incidentally, lifted from the comments on that page:

For those wondering about the timeline in regard to Hernandez's lawsuit, Hernandez filed two Charges of Discrimination with EEOC against MLB on June 5. MLB notified umpires of their All-Star assignments approximately a week after that time. EEOC issued Hernandez a Right to Sue notice on June 28/29. Hernandez filed the suit on July 3.

If that's accurate, doesn't that mean that asswipe knew he was umpiring the ASG and yet filed a suit claiming discrimination?!?

That whole suit is the most retarded thing ever.

Right to sue letters are issued when the EEOC decides there's nothing to the allegations. They decline to take action, but then the claimaint is allowed to file a private civil suit.

How do they go about selecting the umps for the game?

Apparently on a dare.

That's fine and all ... but he filed it ~ 3 weeks after he knew he was umping the damned game.
