Bob Engel


On this date in 1990, twenty-five-year veteran umpire, Bob Engel resigns after pleading "no contest" to charges of shoplifting baseball cards in California.

1990?!

Hopefully, he didn't do it for junk wax!

    Awesome, I vaguely remember this - he did not steal a 1968 Ryan did he?

    I honestly do not know other than I read the blurb on baseballreference today. Again, hopefully not for a pack (or even a case) of 1990 Donruss.
