Bob Emslie and the Evolution of the Baseball Umpire
Omschrijving
Robert Dean Emslie spent fifty-six of his eighty-four years in professional baseball, eight as a player and forty-nine as an umpire. His thirty-five seasons as a National League umpire included the three most contentious decades umpires ever faced, the 1890 to 1920 era, when the game transitioned from amateur to professional sport.
