LASIK Eye Surgery Mercilessly Roasted MLB Umpire Angel Hernandez After He Announced His Retirement

When was the last time you can remember that the fan bases of all 30 MLB teams agreed on anything? Well yesterday, baseball fans from across the league collectively rejoiced after one of the worst umpires in the game, Angel Hernandez, announced that he would be retiring effective immediately. In a statement announcing his retirement, Hernandez gave the usual "want to spend more time with my family" line, but it's also been reported that he reached a settlement with MLB to step away, so it sounds like there's more to it than just wanting to enjoy his retirement. https://twitter.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1795286007073620014 If you're not familiar with Hernandez and his horrific umpiring skills, he's well known for his questionable calls and short temper behind the plate, receiving criticism not just from fans but from players and announcers alike. https://twitter.com/UmpireAuditor/status/1708955534593016042 https://twitter.com/NBCSPhilly/status/1707531805547466863 https://twitter.com/espn/status/1518410158681980929 https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1795268511373389956 Yeah, he was bad. Historically bad at his job. In fact he was so bad that Hernandez even sued MLB back in 2017, claiming that they were racially discriminating against him by keeping him from umpiring World Series games. But even the court basically said no, it's not because of your race, it's because you suck at your job, and dismissed the case. So it's safe to say that there were a lot of happy players in MLB clubhouses yesterday when it was announced that Hernandez would be stepping down. There were plenty of memes and jokes flying over on Twitter after the announcement, but people noticed that as the memes started popping up, there was one account that was quick to reply to all of them: LASIK eye surgery. (I'm sure you know what LASIK is by now, but it's a laser eye surgery that helps people correct their vision so they don't need to wear glasses or contacts). Well LASIK took full advantage of the moment to brutally roast Angel Hernandez at every turn: https://twitter.com/LASIKdotcom/status/1795277315301367973 https://twitter.com/LASIKdotcom/status/1795278129600287001 https://twitter.com/LASIKdotcom/status/1795273516620874081 https://twitter.com/LASIKdotcom/status/1795286712056504600 https://twitter.com/LASIKdotcom/status/1795289618738483589 Brutal. Too bad Hernandez will never be able to see all the jokes about him. https://twitter.com/CaseyJ_516/status/1795279865262026859
