The legend of the Philadelphia Philis, John Kruk, played 10 years solid in MLB, winning three stars offers in that period.
But he did not have the best farewell with one of the MLB referees.
Kruk revealed Monday night during Phillies television broadcast that once threatened to kill referee Brian O’Nora during his second game in MLB.

“I just received a text message from Judson Burch,” Kurk told his partner, Tom McCarthy. “Great fan of the Philis. Great Sage of referee. He said that Brian O’Nora has been present so long that he took you out of a game.”
Kruk, then, immersed himself in his memory bank and took out a wild story about himself in Chicago’s white socks with O’Nora.

“The game before retiring, I think I threatened to kill him,” Kruk said, through horrible ads.
O’Nora was only in his third year of arbitration when that incident with Kruk occurred in 1995.

Kruk’s words to O’Nora came from an attack call while facing Doug Jones at the top of the ninth entrance.
At that time, Kruk was collapsing on the plate, so his frustrations passed through O’Nora.

Kruk spent six seasons in Philadelphia, reducing .309/.400/.461 with 62 home runs, 145 doubles and 390 races promoted in 744 games.
Kruk spent his last year in MLB with the Chicago White Sox, playing only 45 games and hitting .308/.399/.390 with an PAHO of .789 and 23 driven races.
