He was asked to substitute for a full-time umpire and the rest is history.Since then, he's become one of the most well-known umpires in the league, though not necessarily for good reasons. However, he has umpired in a couple of World Series: 2002 and 2005.Division Series - Los Angeles Dodgers v San Francisco Giants - Game TwoHe also umpired the All-Star Game in 1999, 2009 and 2017. He is perhaps more notable now for his ongoing lawsuit against Major League Baseball. He sued in 2017 alleging racial discrimination as a reason he wasn't working World Series games anymore and why he wasn't being promoted to crew chief.He cited a feud with Joe Torre that dated back to his managing days as another reason why. This lawsuit has not yet been resolved.
