Philadelphia Phillies, John Kruk’s legend, played 10 years in MLB, winning three stars offers during this period.
But he did not have the best dispatch with one of the longtime arbitrators of the MLB.
Kruk revealed on Monday evening during the TV broadcast of the Phillies he had once threatened to kill referee Brian O’nora in his second match in MLB.

“I just received an SMS from Judson Burch,” Kurk told his partner, Tom McCarthy. “Big Phillies Fan. Big Arbire Savant. He said that Brian O’nora has been there for so long, he threw a game for you.”
Kruk then plunged into his memory bank and released a wild story on himself on the White Sox of Chicago with O’nora.

“The match before retiring, I think I threatened to kill him,” said Kruk, via a horrible announcement.
O’Nora was only in his third year of arbitration when this incident with Kruk occurred in 1995.

Kruk’s words in O’Nora came from a striking call while facing Doug Jones at the top of the ninth round.
At the time, Kruk collapsed on the plate, then his frustrations boiled, and he released it on O’nora.
