Umpires
While reading Brian Martin’s wonderful book “The Detroit Wolverines-The Rise and Wreck of a National League Champion 1881-1888” I learned that Dick Hingham was the only National League umpire ever to be banished from baseball for life for his dishonesty (1882). Below is an image of Hingham (seated far left) when he was a player for the 1876 Hartford Blues. In honor of Dick, let’s post some umpire cards.

... which got him elected into the HOF. I had all of these O'Days when he became a HOFer, but I have since sold/traded two of them.

Great group of O'Days Val. FYI, there is a numbering error on some of his 1887 cards. I'll post images later. Also, did you or do you have an O'Day Gypsy Queen or Player's League card?

Umpire as part of the backdrop. The umpire in the picture is 'Honest John' Gaffney, who was an umpire before and after this picture was taken, but probably at the time was serving as manager of the Washington team.

After James O'Rourke's final full season of professional baseball in 1893, he was a National League umpire in 1894.
