We are a community that is heavily invested in the sport we love - baseball. We feel the sport we hold dear is currently under threat due to decisions that derail its true spirit. The dismissal of Pat Hoberg as an umpire in Major League Baseball is one such decision that we feel is unjust and needs remediation.

Pat Hoberg has demonstrated a consistent track record of professionalism on and off the field. His stellar job performance saw him umpiring in over 500 MLB games, which is no mean feat (source: MLB Data Portal). His commitment to fairness and stewardship of this sport sets him apart. Hoberg remains the only umpire in MLB history to record a 'Perfect Game,' getting 100% of called pitches correct, according to umpscorecards.com, during game 2 of the 2022 World Series. All information collected by the site is used directly from Major League Baseball. No other umpire has been able to replicate this accomplishment. 

This decision not only harms the reputation of a dedicated professional, but also raises questions about the accountability of the decision-makers in the sport, especially Rob Manfred. It's time to challenge this tyranny and ensure that such actions do not go unanswered. We should prioritize maintaining the integrity and fair play within our beloved sport over hidden agendas and personal vendettas.

Therefore, we call on Major League Baseball and its Commissioner to review this decision and reinstate Pat Hoberg. This issue is not just about one individual, but about the future of the sport we love. By reinstating Hoberg, we take a firm stand against tyranny and capricious decisions that will adversely affect the future of baseball.

So, stand with us. Add your signature to this petition and mandate the reinstatement of Pat Hoberg. Let's value professionalism, skill, and dedication over arbitrary and speculative decisions. Sign the petition! Let's make a change.
