MLB umpire Brock Ballou was allegedly assaulted and robbed in Philadelphia on April 9 while working a Phillies series against the Diamondbacks. The suspect, a teenager captured on surveillance, stole Ballou’s phone, leading to a physical altercation where Ballou was punched multiple times. Despite sustaining minor injuries, he returned to officiate games the following days. This incident follows another assault by the same suspect earlier that day.
