1940s NL umpire Lou Jorda
A friend just figured out she was related to a former NL umpire, Lou Jorda, who umped in the NL from 1927-1931 and 1940-1952.
Just doing a few quick searches I was able to find out that Jorda was not only the ump behind the plate for the Shot Heard Around the World but also the rightmost ump in Norman Rockwell's "Bottom of the Sixth" (below). And for good measure, worked the plate in the 1941 ASG, second base in the 1951 ASG, and various stations in the 1949 World Series. Am wondering if anyone has any Lou Jorda memorabilia...autographed picture, card, etc. Too bad he retired just before the 1955 Bowman set included umps! Norman Rockwell Paintings.jpg
