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.

In a statement, the league said: ‘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.
‘We have also taken immediate and decisive action by terminating the assistant coaches involved’.
As a result of the coaches wild actions, the team were disqualified and the local sheriff’s department were called to the scene.
It’s unknown whether the coaches were allowed to take the children back to Lake Bluff after the tournament.
The team typically play in Lake Bluff field in Chicago and have been part of the league for 70 years.
