During a game on Wednesday between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, veteran MLB umpire CB Bucknor, aged 63, was struck in the mask by a 100mph foul ball hit by Nick Fortes. The incident occurred in the second inning, prompting immediate attention from Brewers catcher William Contreras and athletic trainers. Bucknor fell to the ground and appeared groggy as he was helped off the field, leading to a 15-minute delay before first base umpire Chad Fairchild took over. This incident adds to the scrutiny Bucknor has faced recently due to a series of controversial calls, including a mishap during a previous game where he incorrectly ruled a player out. Bucknor has been officiating in Major League Baseball since 1996.
