I am glad they finally removed that stupid *. Too bad it took them so long to get it done. It should never have happened.
Bill Kinnamon was the plate umpire that day in October of 1961, when Maris deposited the ball in the right field seats. Tracy Stallard was the pitcher who gave up the dinger.
Of course, Bill Kinnamon had himself quite an umpire school at one time too.
Next question: What year did they start using 6 umpires on World Series games?
