Manuel Augusto González [Manny] (born December 4, 1979) is a Major League Baseball umpire. Gonzalez made his major league umpiring debut on May 17, 2010, filling in for John Hirschbeck. He became the first Venezuelan Major League umpire in history.[1] He umpired in 11 games in 2010, and returned to the Majors in 2011, umpiring in 42 games before being hired to the full-time MLB staff in early 2013.[2][3] Gonzalez's first career ejection came on June 26, 2012, when Ike Davis was tossed for arguing a safe call at first base in Chicago.[4]
