All have the same colour skin as Troy Fullwood.

None of them have ever been in my kitchen.

The reason I wanted to be accurate on the PU for Aarons #715 is that in Ed Sudol's obit it says that he was the home plate umpire that night.

Sudol worked second base (Lee Weyer and Frank Pulli were the other two umpires).

Yes, everybody's Padre was at first for the Dodgers.

What number did Satch wear on his plate coat that night?

Regards,

speaking of Sudol, why are the following dates significant in his career? :

May 31, 1964

April 15, 1968

September 11, 1974

HINT: there is one team associated with each of the games on these dates...good luck!

Confused yet???

OK I'll start. In game three of the 1975 World Series between the BoSox and the Big Red Machine, Ed Armbrister laid a sac bunt and collided with Reds catcher Carlton Fisk who made an error on the throw that cost the Reds game three. The HP umpire ruled the contact incidental, so no interference was applied. Who was that HP umpire?

I don't believe the error (and no call) cost the Reds that game
