Youth baseball coaches fired for stripping naked in front of kids as disturbing footage emerges
Two Illinois youth baseball coaches have been fired after being filmed stripping naked and streaking during a tournament for under-12s, according to reports. The incident occurred in Cooperstown, New York last weekend and has since gone viral on the internet after a bystander captured a video of the shocking scenes. In the clip, the laughter of children can be heard as the coaches stripped off and made their way round the bases - before one of them slid headfirst into home plate. It remains unclear as to what drove the coaches to perform the distressing act. Though both coaches - from Lake Bluff, Illinois - have been dismissed from their roles, they could still face further punishment over the incident, according to CBS. The Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association have confirmed that they are working with local authorities - given the fact that children were present at the time.

Youth Baseball Coaches Caught On Video Apparently Running Naked In Front Of Kids
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 said it has also sought law enforcement's involvement in the matter. The incident occurred during a tournament weekend in the Cooperstown, New York, area and got the 12-and-under team disqualified and the authorities involved, the station said, though to what extent is not clear. 'We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and have contacted relevant authorities,' the association said in a statement to CBS. 'We will continue to support those authorities in their investigations of this matter. We have also taken immediate and decisive action by terminating the assistant coaches involved.' The edited-for-decency snippet (watch it below) shown by the outlet shows one coach sliding nude into home plate as kids ― perhaps players ― laugh and one says 'Oh my god' while another says 'Wait, is he naked?' The two coaches were not identified by the station because they had yet to be charged with anything. HuffPost has reached out to authorities in Lake Bluff, Illinois, and the Otsego County Sheriff's Office.
