On Sunday, September 6, Washington Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo was ejected from watching his team's game after umpires heard him yelling disparaging comments from his private box.

Though the scenario was already a strange one, since there's no way Rizzo would have been within earshot if there were people filling the stadium, umpire Joe West then decided to make things even stranger by endorsing Donald Trump for President.

Joe West, a fairly unpopular longtime MLB umpire, was roasted online for his random Trump plug.



For those who know Joe West, the incident was a pretty unsurprising one.



Fans were perplexed by the strange series of events.




The fact that Joe West is a Trump supporter was, to many, a little bit less than shocking.


It also seemed unlikely, however, that West's endorsement was going to help Donald Trump in any significant way.


For future reference, there's little to no reason any umpire needs to bring up Donald Trump again any time soon.

The Biggest Examples Of 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished'

For every action we perform, there will be a consequence, whether it's positive or negative in nature.

We might know that, but sometimes, we still find ourselves surprised by what materializes from our actions, especially when we do something good, only for things to not go well for us in return.

Jerry quits Ben & Jerry's

After nearly half a century of puns, pint-sized protests, and spoon-first diplomacy via Cherry Garcia, Jerry Greenfield is hanging up his scooper.

The “Jerry” in Ben & Jerry’s has resigned after what he says was years of corporate censorship under Unilever—particularly during Trump’s second administration, when speaking up for civil rights suddenly required either a permission slip or a pink slip.

Before cameras, courtroom sketch artists served a purpose. Even now, a sketch artist can provide visuals to accompany reporting of trials when no other form of recording during court sessions is allowed.

The artists try to stay close to what the defendant, witnesses, and everyone else look like, but they can sometime veer into the caricature, as Luigi Mangione has found during his heavily publicized court appearances.
