Erratic Umpire Forcibly Removed From Mexican League Game
This is just some amazing footage of something we've never seen before. An umpire in the Mexican Pacific League was forcibly removed from a game after he acted erratically during a game. Humberto Saiz's fellow umpires believed he was drunk and pulled him from the field.
Here's some video of Saiz flipping off fans in the middle of the game:
Ahora entiendo porque el cochinero de ampayers Qué hay en la Liga Mexicana del Pacífico en el centro de monitoreo hay ciegos y en el terreno de juego ebrios groseros y y corrientes que denigran el espectáculo @liga_arco @clubtomateros pic.twitter.com/1qw8Za4G5M

And here is video of security and his fellow umpires guiding him off the field:

Durante el juego estuvo discutiendo con sus compañeros umpires, managers y jugadores, además realizó señas obscenas al público, por eso Humberto “Lobito” Sainz fue sacado del estadio por la policía y, reportan, llevado a separos.

That's just stunning footage. I have never seen an umpire guided from the field for anything other than an injury before.
Now, we don't know if Saiz was actually drunk, but his erratic behavior led his fellow umpires to believe that and remove him.
If only MLB would do this to Angel Hernandez and Doug Eddings every freaking game.
