That would be the late Lee Weyer, who worked the plate that night (Rose). Rose singled in his first at bat, and tripled in the 7th inning off (the late also) Eric Show. Weyer was at 3rd base for Aaron's 715th.
Next question: What umpire had the same nickname as a famous legume, and was the plate umpire in the famous Norman Rockwell painting, "The Bottom of The Sixth?" Hint: He was a National League umpire who favored the outside "Balloon" chest protector.
