Mexican League umpire removed by his own crew for being hammered mid-game

There’s nothing quite like an ice-cold beer while watching a baseball game, except maybe don’t do that if you’re one of the umpires.

During a contest in the Mexican Pacific League, umpire Huberto Saiz had to be removed from the field after his fellow officials believed he was drunk. And they might have been on to something.

It wouldn’t really be a true intoxicated official incident without the fans taking some grenades, too.
