You may want to call out infamous MLB umpire Joe West for his poor calls and his look-at-me approach to managing a game. But definitely don’t disparage his honesty or integrity in making his calls, because he takes that stuff seriously.
Like,
half a million dollars seriously.
A couple years ago, former New York Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca told a story on a podcast that suggested West had effectively accepted a bribe from Billy Wagner to give him a bigger strike zone in a given game. Lo Duca might’ve been confused or was just puffing, but West took the claim very seriously and sued Lo Duca for defamation. The problem for Lo Duca? West was behind the plate only once in a Mets game when both Lo Duca and Wagner were on the team. And Wagner never pitched in that game.

NEW YORK Major league umpire Joe West was awarded $500,000 in damages plus interest dating to July 8 in a defamation suit against former All-Star catcher Paul Lo Duca.
New York Supreme Court Justice John J. Kelley issued his decision Monday in a lawsuit West filed in October 2019 against Lo Duca and The Action Network. The network was dismissed from the suit last July, when Kelley granted a motion by West for a default judgment against Lo Duca.
West contended that Lo Duca said during an April 18, 2019, podcast on The Action Network that he had been ejected 15 times during his major league career and eight or nine had been by West.
