Baseball players rarely, if ever, convince an umpire to overturn a call at the plate.
But Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera got lucky with one particular umpire: a Florida judge who this week agreed to cut his child support payments to an ex-mistress after the MVP player cried foul.
Under an amended final judgement, Cabrera will now pay $14,000 a month in child support to the woman he secretly fathered two children with, instead of the $20,000 a month that was originally ordered in March.
