Описание:

If an umpire could steal the show in a Major League game, Al Clark might well have been the one to do it. Tough but fair, in his thirty years as a professional umpire he took on some of baseballs great umpire baiters, such as Earl Weaver, Billy Martin, and Dick Williams, while ejecting any number of the games elite--once tearing a hamstring in the process. He was the first and only Jewish umpire hired by the American League and he was probably the first to eject his own father from the officials dressing room. But whatever Clark was doing--officiating at Nolan Ryans three hundredth win, Cal Ripkens record breaker, or the earthquake World Series of 1989 or braving a labor dispute, an anti-Semitic tirade by a Cy Young Award winner, or a legal imbroglio--it makes for a good story.

Called Out but Safe is Clarks outspoken and often hilarious account of his life in baseball from umpire school through the highlights to the inglorious end of his stellar career. Not just a source of baseball history and lore, Clarks book also affords a rare look at what life is like for someone who works for the Major Leagues other team.

Al Clark was a professional umpire for thirty years, working more than three thousand games, including two All-Star Games, ten playoff series, and two World Series. Former AP sportswriter Dan Schlossberg is the author or coauthor of more than thirty baseball books, including The New Baseball Bible and When the Braves Ruled the Diamond.
