Pallone, Dave (B
Pallone, Dave (b. 1951) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Dave Pallone. Entry Copyright © 2009 glbtq, Inc. Image courtesy Dave Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Pallone, www. davepallone.com. Because of the prevalence of homophobia in the culture of men's professional sports, umpire Dave Pallone remained closeted until he was outed and forced out of baseball. Since leaving the game he has become an advocate for glbtq rights. David Pallone, born October 5, 1951 in Waltham, Massachusetts, grew up in a middle-class family in the adjacent city of Watertown. His father, Carmine Pallone, an immigrant from Italy, was a factory worker and also an ardent fan of the Boston Braves. While still in his teens, Carmine was offered a contract to pitch for the St. Louis Browns, but with the Great Depression in force, his father forbade him to accept it and told him to take a less risky job as a vegetable picker. Carmine Pallone taught his son to pitch and took him to Red Sox games (the Braves having decamped to Milwaukee in 1953). Dave Pallone dreamed of pitching in Fenway Park, thinking, as a teen, that realizing his father's unfulfilled dream "would really make [his] dad proud." Pallone pitched for his high school team, but his skill was not equal to that of his father. There was no hope of a college athletic scholarship, let alone a contract as a professional baseball player in his future. In the summer of 1970 Pallone was working two jobs as a stock boy in a grocery store and a caddie. -

A's News Clips, Sunday, May 9, 2010 A's Win As Sparkling Sheets Looks
A’s News Clips, Sunday, May 9, 2010 A's win as sparkling Sheets looks like new pitcher By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Ben Sheets delivered his best start in an A's uniform Saturday, an effort that was important for his team but even more so for his psyche. After getting hammered in his two previous outings, Sheets limited the Tampa Bay Rays to four hits over 61/3 innings in a 4-2 A's victory. It was just the Rays' second loss in 15 road games. Sheets spotted his fastball well. He snapped off several curves that appeared to fall through a trap door. In short, he was what the A's envisioned when they signed him to a one-year, $10 million deal over the winter. They hope it's a stepping stone for things to come. "I always have fun, but it's hard to have fun when you get your (butt) handed to you like I did the last two games," Sheets said. "I just had to take a deep breath. Success is fun. Failure's not fun." After making a slight mechanical adjustment, dropping his arm slot an inch or two in his delivery, Sheets notched a season- high eight strikeouts to go alongside three walks. The four-time All-Star seemed at a loss to solve his struggles following his past two starts, when he allowed a combined 17 earned runs at Tampa Bay and Toronto. A's manager Bob Geren said he noticed Sheets' confidence early, as the right-hander threw a sharp curve on the game's first pitch to Jason Bartlett. -

Umpire Stories
So, You Want to Be an Umpire? David Vincent Modern umpires like to be invisible on the field and consider it a good day when no one remembers them after a game. There have been days, though, that are memorable ones. Here are some of those days. *** In 1882, National League Umpire Dick Higham, a former player, was expelled from the game for colluding with gamblers. He had been the first umpire to wear a mask on the field. Higham umpired his last game on June 22, 1882 in Buffalo. *** On June 19, 1896, the Chicago Colts (now Cubs) were in Cleveland to play the Spiders. The latter team was well known around the league for acting in a rowdy manner. In the seventh inning, Umpire Tom Lynch fined and ejected Cleveland Captain Patsy Tebeau, who refused to leave. Tebeau instead rushed at Lynch to assault the umpire but the two were separated by other players. Lynch refused to work the rest of that game and left the field. After a long delay, the game resumed with Chicago player Con Daily calling the pitches and Cleveland player Cy Young making the calls on the bases. Tebeau remained in the game and Chicago’s Cap Anson protested the game because Tebeau remained in the contest even though he had been ejected. Chicago won the game, 8-3, so the protest was not lodged. After the game, Lynch told a reporter: “I suppose I should not have permitted my indignation to get the better of me, but after all there are things that pass human endurance, and one of them surely is to be called vile names.” Lynch refused to work in Cleveland after that and did not until 1898. -
