Don Denkinger, a Major League Baseball umpire for 30 years, has died at 86 years old.
The news was announced by Denkinger’s daughter, Denise Hanson, who said Friday that her father passed at Cedar Valley Hospice in Waterloo, Iowa,“Today MLB remembers longtime American League Umpire Don Denkinger, who passed away at 86. The genial Denkinger was on the field from 1969-1998 and worked four World Series, the last of which included plate duties for the epic Morris-Smoltz Game 7 in 1991. Rest in Peace, Don,” MLB said in a statement.
Cardinals first baseman Jack Clark fielded the ball and tossed to Worrell, who barely beat Orta to the bag.
