Michael Joseph Estabrook (born July 28, 1976) is a Major League Baseball umpire. He made his first umpiring appearance at the Major League level on May 7, 2006. Estabrook wears uniform number 83. He and his wife reside in Florida. It was announced on January 14, 2014 that Estabrook was added to the full-time MLB Umpire staff.
Umpiring career
In 2010, Estabrook ejected Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost from a game after Estabrook had confronted Royals catcher Jason Kendall. Later, Yost was quoted as saying, "I'll never let an umpire show up one of my players, and that's exactly what he was doing." Kendall stated, "He got in my face, and it was unprofessional what he did." It was not Estabrook's first argument in the game. A couple of innings prior, he had gotten into a shouting match with Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia.[1]
Estabrook was officially hired to the full-time MLB staff prior to the 2014 season.[2]
Estabrook worked his first career MLB Playoff game in left field on October 7, 2015 between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates [3]
Notable games
Estabrook served as the third base umpire when Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano threw a no-hitter against the Houston Astros at Miller Park on September 14, 2008.[4]
