Jack Sheridan was the first home plate umpire to crouch behind the catcher in the style that umpires do today.
Ernie Tyler was the umpires’ assistant for Baltimore Orioles home games from 1960 through 2010. He went from opening day of 1960 through July 27, 2007 without missing a game, a streak of 3,769 games. He missed two games that weekend to go to Cooperstown for the induction of Cal Ripken, Jr. into the Hall of Fame.
Ray Miller was the manager of the Twins in 1985 and 1986, replacing Billy Gardner and being replaced by Tom Kelly.
Tracy Ringolsby has been a baseball writer since 1976 and was given the Spink Award in 2005.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to Rhubarb_Runner's brother.
