After Yesterday I Don't Want Anyone Questioning Angel Hernandez's Heart

You can say a lot of things about Angel Hernandez. You can say he's a horrible umpire, you can say he's a buffoon for suing Major League Baseball for not giving him important postseason games, but don'y you dare question this man's heart. Yesterday Gio Urshela made what might have been the catch of the year as he fell directly into the Rays dugout.

That was all great, but the real story here was Angel, all part of his plan. Look at the effort. The dedication. The bravery to put it all on the line to see if Gio caught this baseball and then make the call for everyone watching. Someone's gotta do it.

Quite possibly the most unnecessary thing I've ever seen with my own two eyes. Angel Hernandez almost killed himself making this call. Somehow put himself in more harm than Gio who ran directly into the dugout full speed after running 126 feet. Gary was looking at him like dude the stairs are right here man.  Phenomenal. Only Angel. It's in his blood to steal the show.
