The photo of Shewmake comes from the April 22, 2001 issue of the Fort Worth (TX) Star-Telegram along with an article featuring the fact that he is the new football coach for Haltom High School in the Fort Worth area. The caption to the photo says that he "worked in the Arlington area from 1977-97 at Bailey Junior High, Arlington (emphasis added), Martin, and Mansfield."

The newspaper article below on the right is from the Dallas Morning News of Aug. 26, 1978. It indicates that the Jim Shewmake who was the replacement umpire in the one game at Arlington, TX, in 1978 was a baseball coach at Arlington High School. So this seems to validate that this is the right man.
