Only reason I knew it was David Davidson is because as a boy growing up we had a VHS of baseball trivia, bloopers, etc. He was reffered to as David Davidson in the video as a the trivia question. Also had the plate for Fisk's homer in 75 against the Reds. I watched that thing every day when I was little.
Game 1 of the 1970 World Series, Baltimore at Cincinatti. Who's this umpire? http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/8899/carbo2qd3.gif |

I don't know, but that's not what I meant by "getting your nose into it." That is just a tad too close to the play.

Garth nailed it.
It was a baltimore chop in front of the plate. Burkhart moved out in front to call fair/foul, not realizing that the runner was going on contact (not sure if the bases were loaded with 2 outs or what). Bernie Carbo was the runner, he slid around both the catcher and Burkhart. The catcher fielded the ball with his hand with an empty glove attempted to tag Carbo. Burkhart, with his back turned, called Carbo out, and Sparky Anderson came out Burkhart, for whatever reason, kept calling Sparky "Danny". Not sure what that was about. Baltimore won 3-2, and went on to win the series in 5. |
And,
The catcher is Elrod Hendicks.

Who worked the plate for the longest game (in terms of time) in major league history? Bonus points if you can name either of the teams involved.
