How 'bout some love for Ron Luciano, the most entertaining umpire most of us ever saw?

I read his books years ago, and they were very entertaining.

my vote's for Enrico Pallazzo. He certainly had a certain "flair" to his strike calling:

Umpires Committee? 19th Century Committee? Don't know what clique would need to consider him,
but James Gaffney, essentially the grandfather of modern umpiring (multi-umpire crews, field positioning, signals, &c') and in his day widely considered the most accurate and most ethical ump in the sport, should've been a shoo-in with the first umps elected to the Hall. Evidently the "shameful personal failing" of alcoholism tainted his reputation long enough that he was eventually completely forgotten.
