Former San Francisco Giant and current Texas Ranger Yorvit Torrealba has been banned from professional winter baseball in Venezuela for two seasons (the rest of this season and all of next season) for assault of an umpire.
Balls and strikes were disputed earlier in the count, Yorvit went bill-to-mask with the umpire, and then slapped him in the facemask.
Look, I have no business for sports officials and their use in rigging games, but that's the kind of conduct which has only one recourse: He can't be in the sport again. I genuinely hope that $elig and the umpires' union review this and ensure he isn't playing in the United States either.
