Nick Avants 1970

In color! Texas League ump who worked exactly 18 American League games in late ‘70 and early ‘71. This is from a fan’s Polaroid at an Arkansas Travelers’ game from August or September, 1968. He’s...

Lee Weyer 1961

The beloved, gigantic (6'6") ump who liked to entertain kids with magic tricks, he died in midseason 1988. This is from Shea Stadium in the '60s.

An NL arbiter through 1977, whose last six games were in the '77 Series, in what is obviously a Getty copyrighted image, with Stengel.

Frank Secory 1952

One of that handful of men who played (1945 Cubs) and umpired (1957, 1959, 1964, 1969) in the World Series

The right image is from a 1962 Colts-Mets game at the Polo Grounds.

Al Barlick 1940

I've accumulated quite a pile of images, many in color, nearly all in action, of circa 1967 umpires.

Tough one to find, especially face to the camera, as part of his page in the Cambria County Hall of Fame. Dezelan was an N.L. fill-in for three years, and full time only in 1969 and 1970.

He's far...
