Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Frank William Umont (November 21, 1917 - June 20, 1991) was an umpire in the American League of Major League Baseball from 1954 to 1973. He was the first major league umpire to wear spectacles while officiating. He called balls and strikes for the 1971 All-Star Game, which became famous for Reggie Jackson's mammoth home run off of Dock Ellis, which hit a transformer on the right-center field roof of Tiger Stadium. The American League went on to a 6-4 victory, the junior circuit's only triumph in a 20-year period between 1963 and 1982.
