In a recent revelation, baseball analyst and former player John Kruk recounted an incident with umpire Brian O'Nora, recalling he once threatened him during a game in the 90s. This occurred just before Kruk's retirement from baseball. He humorously noted that O'Nora had a long tenure as an umpire and reflected on how he struck out in his final outing, denoting frustration that led to the threat. Remarkably, Kruk’s last at-bat ended his career on a hit, fulfilling his wish of maintaining a .300 career average.
Kruk, recalling his notorious moment with O'Nora during a game, admitted, 'The game before I retired, I think I threatened to kill him.'
Kruk described his last at-bat: 'He threw me a BP fastball, I got the dog crap jammed out of me and hit a little blooper.'
Kruk mentioned, 'So I drove home. I grew up two-and-a-half hours from Baltimore. I drove home, and I went to my house.'
