An Ohio man named Blake Morgan has been banned from participating in sports betting within the state due to allegations of threatening Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider, according to newsradio967.iheart.com.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission placed Morgan on its Involuntary Exclusion List, which prohibits him from accessing all gaming facilities and the legal betting market in Ohio, reports 590kqnt.iheart.com.

Morgan is accused of making a threatening phone call to Major League Baseball's offices during the previous year's World Series. The call reportedly included a 14-minute rant directed at Schneider, as stated by ktrh.iheart.com.

The ban effectively prevents Morgan from any legal sports betting activities in Ohio going forward, as noted by multiple iHeartMedia news outlets.
