VIDEO: Umpire Attacked At High School Baseball Game In Florida

Author Stiffy

Parents are taking youth sports way to serious!! An umpire was punched in the back of the head at a High School baseball game in Kissimmee. On April 18th, Sheriff Marco Lopez of the Osceola County Sheriff’s office said deputies were called out to Liberty High School for a disturbance.

According to WESH 2, investigators determined Jorge Aponte Gonzalez punched the high school umpire, who happens to be a 63-year-old and a disabled veteran.

“This umpire is a 63-year-old man. He’s a veteran. A United States military veteran. He’s a disabled veteran. OK? He does this because he has a passion for baseball and he likes to give back to his community and he loves to dedicate his time to baseball and to kids,” Lopez said.

In the video below you can see parents and players visibly upset over the attack.

9 New Foods at Rays Games for 2023

Some new offerings and returning favorites are on the menu from Tampa Bay area vendors who are setting up shop at Tampa Bay Rays games at Tropicana Field for the 2023 season. Here are some of the foods to try and where to find them at The Trop.

  • Little Greek

    I’m a huge fan of Little Greek. I love their chicken souvlaki and they have really great fries too… I always substitute them for the rice. They’ll have their Tampa Bay Signature Greek Salad in the third base food hall.

  • Omaha Steaks

    Look for their burgers and brats throughout Tropicana Field this season.

  • Daddies Donuts

    Another local vendor on this year’s lineup.  They’ll serve freshly made donuts in Right Field Street, the Third Base Food Hall and the Rays club.

  • Beans & Barlour

    Love creative milkshakes?  Look for them in the Third Base Concourse or at the Budweiser Porch in Center Field.

  • Sip Shine

    Try a Moonshine Slushie with moonshine whiskey and fresh fruit flavors.  Find them at the Third Base Food Hall, the Rays Club and Ballpark & Rec.

  • MingsBings

    Iron Chef Ming Tsai has a  vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free handheld pocket.  Find them at Grand Slam in Right Field, Beach Drive BBQ, and new this year in their Suite A-La-Carte Menu.

  • Pig + Potato

    Head to the Center Field Porch to get their Footlong Tater Tot or a Pretzel Dog.  Keep an eye out for their house-made mustard sauce.  Only 98 pretzel dogs will be made for each game so if you want one, go in the first couple innings!

  • Beach Drive BBQ

    A new one at the First Base Food Hall.  Try their Loaded Pulled Pork Nachos, Brisket Banh Mi Sandwiches and Pulled Pork Sliders.

  • The Stinger Dog

    This one’s a throwback to honor  the Rays 25th Anniversary season.  This one was served up during the Devil Rays era.  It’s a Nathan’s Hot Dog with chili and cheese sauce served at Whoa Doggy’s locations.
