Larry Barnett Umpire

[caappy]

Lawrence Robert Barnett (born January 3, 1945) is a former umpire in Major League Baseball who worked in the American League from 1969 to 1999 before becoming the major leagues' supervisor of umpires from 2000 to 2001. He is perhaps well remembered for a controversial call in Game 3 of the 1975 World Series while working home plate in the 10th inning that led to the Reds winning the game. Barnett officiated in 4 World Series: 1975, 1981, 1984 and 1990 (Games 1-2), serving as crew chief in 1981. He also umpired in a record 7 American League Championship Series (1972, 1976, 1979, 1982, 1986, 1991, 1996), and in 4 All-Star games (1973, 1980, 1988, 1997). He was also the home plate umpire when Cal Ripken, Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played record of 2130 on September 6, 1995 and for Vida Blue's no-hitter on September 21, 1970. He wore uniform number 22 starting in 1980 when the AL adopted uniform numbers.

Sent him 2 photos on 28 Apr and got them back signed on 8 May. He also included a business card.
