On July 17, 2006, Hernandez ejected Dodgers' first base coach Mariano Duncan while umpiring third base. When Duncan came out of the dugout to argue the ejection, he tossed his cap onto the ground in anger. Immediately after his peers brought Duncan back into the dugout, Hernandez picked up the cap and tossed it to a fan in the stands.[4] The next day Duncan taped his cap onto his head right before delivering the Dodgers’ lineup to the umpires.[5] Mariano Duncan (born March 13, 1963 in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic) was a second-baseman with the Philadelphia Phillies in the early 1990s. ...
In a 1999 survey conducted by the Major League Baseball Players Association, Hernandez was ranked 31st out of 36 National League umpires[6]. However, later that year Hernandez was asked to return for the 2000 season while 13 of his NL colleagues were let go. Given his low ranking, the Philadelphia Inquirer termed the retention of Hernandez one of the "surprises" of the 1999 purge. [7]
