Missing Umpire Benjamin Van Delft - 1875 NA
I located a photo of Benjamin Van Delft, who umpired one game in 1875. Van Delft was also the business manager of the 1875 Brooklyn Atlantics and was responsible for finding all of the random misfits on that club, who have driven baseball researchers mad for 145 years.
His photo appears in the December 8, 1911 Brooklyn Times Union along with his obituary.
