'Better Know an Umpire' Part 2

Last week we told you about the Deadspin feature Better Know an Umpire because it profiled former resident (and ) Mark Carlson.

Today Deadspin turned its spotlight on Laz Diaz, who may be from Miami, but is best know for his run-in with Bolingbrook's own Eric Dybas.

Deadspin backs us up on this too:

"Diaz was attacked by a drunken fan during a game at US Cellular Field on April 15, 2003. Diaz, who was not hurt, later said, 'We spoke about it in the locker room, this is where Tom Gamboa got attacked. We thought nothing was going to happen, but it was a full moon out there.' Eric Dybas later pled guilty and got six months in jail."

Deadspin calls this Diaz's "claim to fame," and we have to agree.
