From The New York Times by Richard Sandomir:
Bruce Froemming, an authoritative, sometimes brusque but widely respected umpire who called the third-most games in Major League Baseball history, including four no-hitters from behind home plate, died on Feb. 25 in Milwaukee. He was 86.
Unfortunately, Froemming — who umped more than 5,100 games over 37 (!) seasons — did not publish a book. Too bad. I bet he had a lot of interesting stories to tell.
For lack of more “official” information, here’s his entry from Wikipedia and Baseball-Reference.com.
Froemming was born in Milwaukee. Here’s his obit from his hometown Journal-Sentinel.
