Two Illinois youth baseball coaches have been fired after being filmed stripping naked and streaking during a tournament for under-12s.
Video circulating online shows the unidentified coaches from Lake Bluff, Illinois, stripping down fully nude under the field lights while their team was in Cooperstown for a tournament last weekend.
One of the coaches, baring it all, could be seen sliding headfirst into home plate as young children could be heard laughing and cheering him on.

It remains unclear what motivated the coaches to get naked while children were around.
Deputies were called to the Cooperstown All-Star Village around 1 a.m. Saturday morning, after security reported that two men refused to leave. The deputies arrived, but by that time, the coaches were already gone.
It’s unclear if the coaches were any of the players’ parents.
Unfortunately for their team, the Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association’s 12 and under Blue team was disqualified, and the local sheriff’s department was called in, according to CBS Chicago.

Two youth baseball coaches have been fired after a video apparently showed them running naked on the field in front of children, CBS News in Chicago reported.
The Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association from suburban Chicago sought law enforcement’s involvement in the matter. The Otsego County Office of the Sheriff (New York) said the two men will not be charged in a Thursday statement to HuffPost.
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 association, 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.
