Major League Baseball announced Friday it has disciplined umpire Pat Hoberg for violating the league\'s gambling rules, 10 days after the league levied a lifetime ban on a player for gambling and suspended four others for one year.
Hoberg is appealing the discipline and, according to ESPN sources, has denied betting on baseball. The exact nature of the discipline is unknown, but Hoberg has not umpired a game this season. The league, in a statement, did not indicate whether its investigation into Hoberg showed that he bet on baseball.
