Angel Hernandez, who sued Major League Baseball this week alleging race discrimination, was named on Thursday as one of the umpires for the upcoming All-Star Game in Miami.
Hernandez will serve as a first-base umpire on a crew headed by Joe West, who was behind the plate for the 2005 All-Star Game. West, who also worked the Midsummer Classic in 1987, became the third umpire in history to work his 5,000th career game in June.
