Joe Simpson has been a broadcaster for the Atlanta Braves since 1992, but he began his baseball career as a player for the Dodgers. On Saturday, Simpson criticized his old team and started a controversy few on either squad will likely soon forget.

Simpson called out the Dodgers for their batting practice outfits Saturday before what proved to be a 5-1 win for Los Angeles. Simpson took issue with the perceived lack of professionalism shown by the Dodgers’ attire, particularly doing so at Atlanta’s SunTrust Park.
