1930 World Series umpires
I should have provided a little more proof or justification on why I believe this to be George Moriarty and not Cy Rigler. They were both about the same age. As was pointed out, Cy was a bit on the heavy side. Almost all photos of him in this time show him will a definite double chin (no hate mail please) as seen in the left photo. The photo on the right is obviously a younger George, but look at how deep the eyes look, similar to that in the center photo.
But what I think did it for me are the ears. Cy's go high and almost curve forward. George's look to be a dead match, at least to me.
I am shocked by how little video there is out there on this series. So many of the greats, other than Foxx there were 9 other HOFers: Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove, Al Simmons, Jim Bottomley, Dizzy Dean, Frankie Frisch, Burleigh Grimes, Chick Hafey & Jesse Haines. Does anyone know of anywhere other than the few minutes on youtube, mainly game 4.
