	Encyclopedia: Emmett L. Ashford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Emmett Littleton Ashford (November 23, 1914 - March 1, 1980), nicknamed "Ash", was the first African American umpire in Major League Baseball, working in the American League from 1966 to 1970.
		While some observers believed that his race prevented him from working in the majors earlier than he did, others maintained that his flashy style actually delayed his major league debut due to general disdain for umpires to draw attention to themselves.
		Ashford died at age 65 in Venice, Los Angeles.
