Two youth baseball coaches have been fired after they were filmed stripping naked and streaking at an upstate New York tournament for under-12s.
Video circulating online shows the unidentified coaches from Lake Bluff, Illinois, stripping down under the field lights while their team was in Cooperstown for a tournament last weekend.
One of the coaches, baring it all, slides headfirst into the home plate as stunned children laugh.
“Oh my god!” one child exclaims, as another gasps: “What the hell?”
“Is he naked?” another kid asks.
It’s not clear what motivated the coaches to get naked for the creepy stunt.
However, their team — the Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association’s [LBYBA] 12 and under Blue team — were disqualified and the local sheriff’s department was called in, according to CBS Chicago.
Both coaches have been fired, the youth league confirmed..
“We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and have contacted relevant authorities. We will continue to support those authorities in their investigations of this matter,” the LBYBA, from north of Chicago, said in a statement.
“We have also taken immediate and decisive action by terminating the assistant coaches involved,” the association added.
It’s unclear if the coaches were any of the players’ parents or if any legal action had been taken.
The Post has reached out to the Otsego Sheriff’s Department, which patrols Cooperstown, for additional information.
The Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
