A good friend sent me this link about some apparent bad blood between umpire Tom Hallion and Mets third baseman Todd Frazier:

Veteran umpire Tom Hallion has some explaining to do after seemingly attempting to block the New York Mets walk-off celebration on Thursday.

According to the New York Post, Major League Baseball officials are expected to question the veteran umpire for what writer Mike Puma termed an “apparent attempt to show up Todd Frazier” after Frazier launched the game-winning home run in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Miami Marlins.

…

While there didn’t appear to be any new discord between Hallion and the Mets, some are speculating Hallion was making a statement after Frazier’s admitted ball switch trick in Los Angeles.

During a game last week, Frazier fell into the stands trying to make a catch at Dodger Stadium. Frazier never actually caught the ball, but managed to trick the umpires by grabbing a rubber ball that happened to belong to a young fan nearby.

From Hallion’s stare at the plate, I bet he was making sure Frazier touched every base.
