Postseason

The current Major League Baseball postseason consists of the Wild Card Series, the Division Series, the League Championship Series, and the World Series. In the postseason charts, crew chiefs are denoted by a † following the year. The position of crew chief was not as clearly established in the early years of the 20th century; for the purpose of this list, the crew chief for early World Series is defined as the home plate umpire for Game 1. Umpires who are active entering the 2025 season are indicated in bold face; members of the Baseball Hall of Fame are indicated in italics. [1]

World Series

The World Series is the culminating best-of-seven championship series of major league baseball, and has been played since 1903, with the exception of 1904 and 1994. It is played between the National League and American League champions. Throughout World Series history, the position of crew chief usually alternated between umpires of the American League and National League until the two leagues umpire staffs merged in 2000. [1]

League Championship Series

A League Championship Series has been played in each league from 1969 to the present, excluding 1994, and ultimately determines the participants of the World Series. Originally a best-of-five series, it was expanded to best-of-seven in 1985. Below are umpires who have participated in at least seven League Championship Series: [1]

Most League Championship Series games (umpires with at least 35 games are listed)

Division Series

Since 1995 (with one preliminary instance in 1981), the teams participating in the League Championship Series have been determined through four Division Series, with two series per league. All have been best-of-five series. Listed below are umpires who have participated in at least nine Division Series: [1]

Most Division Series games (umpires with at least 35 games are listed)

Wild Card Series

In 2012, the Wild Card Game was introduced as a single playoff game that would determine which wild card teams from each league would participate in the Division Series. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a best-of-three series was instituted. A similar format was made permanent for the 2022 postseason. Listed below are umpires who have participated in at least five Wild Card events: [1]

All-Star Games

The home plate umpire for each All-Star Game is denoted by a † following the year. There were two All-Star Games each year from 1959 to 1962; different umpiring crews were used for the games in each year except 1960 (for this list, the 1960 umpires are each counted once). For all games through the first 1961 contest and again in 1966, the umpires changed positions halfway through the game; both plate umpires are noted in the applicable years. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Umpire (baseball)</span> Person charged with officiating a baseball game

In baseball, the umpire is the person charged with officiating the game, including beginning and ending the game, enforcing the rules of the game and the grounds, making judgment calls on plays, and handling disciplinary actions. The term is often shortened to the colloquial form ump. They are also sometimes nicknamed blue due to the traditional color of the uniform worn by umpires. Although games were often officiated by a sole umpire in the formative years of the sport, since the turn of the 20th century, officiating has been commonly divided among several umpires, who form the umpiring crew. The position is analogous to that of a referee in many other sports.

Bruce Neal Froemming is an American Major League Baseball Special Assistant to the Vice President on Umpiring, after having served as an umpire in Major League Baseball. He first umpired in the National League in 1971, and from 2000 to 2007 worked throughout both major leagues. Early in the 2007 season, Froemming tied Bill Klem for the most seasons umpired. Previously, on August 16, 2006, Froemming umpired his 5,000th game between the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, making him the second umpire to reach that milestone; Klem retired after 5,374 games. Froemming now stands third on the all-time list of games umpired, having been passed when Joe West officiated his 5,164th Major League Baseball game on August 14, 2019. On April 20, 2007, he umpired at first base in the Cleveland Indians-Tampa Bay Devil Rays game, passing Klem to become – at age 67 years 204 days – the man then believed to be the oldest umpire in major league history; Hank O'Day holds the record, retiring at 68 years, 2 months. He worked his final regular-season game at age 68 years 2 days on September 30, 2007, when Froemming received a standing ovation before umpiring his last regular-season game, manning the third base position as the Milwaukee Brewers hosted the San Diego Padres at Miller Park in his native Milwaukee, with much of his family in attendance. Because Froemming was then over age 65, he became eligible for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010 instead of having to wait the customary five years.
