Back When There Was Baseball: Larry Barnett

The 1975 World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox was voted as the best World Series in history. There is only one umpire still remaining from that series and he is our guest this week on Back When There Was Baseball. Larry Barnett joins us and he talks about his storied career. Larry umpired from 1969-1999 which totaled 4,281 games. He umpired 4 All-Star games, 7 ALCS and 4 World Series. We discuss the Ed Armbrister non-interference call in Game 3 of the 1975 World Series along with his umpiring behind-the-plate when Cal Ripken, Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's record. Let's go Back When There Was Baseball and listen to one of the best umpires the game has known.
