Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2020 7:27 pm
Bruce Neal Froemming (/ˈfrɛmɪŋ/; born September 28, 1939) is Major League Baseball Special Assistant to the Vice President on Umpiring, after having served as an umpire in Major League Baseball. He is the longest-tenured umpire in major league history in terms of the number of full seasons umpired, finishing his 37th season in 2007.
Froemming was the plate umpire (wearing number 16) when Milt Pappas was going for a perfect game on September 2, 1972 against the San Diego Padres, but made a ball four call on the 27th batter, Larry Stahl, which cost Pappas the perfect game, though he still pitched a no-hitter. The call remains controversial.
Sent him 2 photos on 26 May and got them back signed on 11 Jun.
