Text | [Chicago vs. Metropolitan 10/2/1882] John Kelly occupied the umpire’s position for the first time here in weeks, and he gave the spectators a sample of first-class umpiring. John wore a mask while standing up close behind the bat, and it is the only way in which the ball can be carefully watched. Without one umpires cannot help shrinking back from the line of sight to avoid the ball, and hence comes their errors in calling strikes. |
