They are known by a variety of names, many of them unprintable.
Like the big league players, they are the very best in their
profession and spend years honing their craft, yet some fans
pretend to believe they are incompetent boobs. They are the men in
blue on the baseball diamond, major league umpires. In this work,
nineteen umps provide their unique insight on some of the most
important and pivotal moments in baseball history. Don Denkinger
recounts his call that turned the 1985 World Series. "Red" Flaherty
and Bill Kinnamon recall the excitement of Roger Maris 61st homer.
From these men and Bill Jackowski, Bill Haller, John Rice, Dutch
Rennert, John Kibler, Bill Valentine, Terry Cooney, Andy Olsen,
Marty Springstead, Doug Harvey, Ken Burkhart, Ed Runge, Hank
Morgenweck, Art Frantz, Jerry Neudecker, and Steamboat Johnson, we
get a different view of the game and a new appreciation for the job
the umpires do on a daily basis.
