A friend of Pat Hoberg used the Major League Baseball umpire’s legal sports gambling accounts to make dozens of baseball bets over a two-year period, wagering roughly $214,000 and winning nearly $35,000, an investigation showed — and according to reporting, at least two of those games involved the Mets. Hoberg was fired on Monday.

Major League Baseball has fired umpire Pat Hoberg for "sharing" legal sports betting accounts with a friend who bet on baseball and for intentionally deleting messages key to the investigation into his conduct.
