Umpire Rob Drake issued an apology for his now-deleted tweet (posted at his now-deleted Twitter account) in which he vowed to purchase an assault rifle if Donald Trump ("MY PRESIDENT") was impeached. Drake warned that impeachment could well trigger "ANOTHER CIVAL WAR".
I want to personally apologize to everyone that my words made feel less safe. I especially want to apologize to every person who has been affected by gun violence in our country. I also acknowledge and apologize for the controversy this has brought to Major League Baseball, my fellow umpires and my family.
