Topic: Tim McClelland


  
  Tim McClelland, Umpire | BaseballLibrary.com
McClelland is one of the few umpires who works from one knee, but given his 6-foot-6 height, his grasp of the strike zone is not obstructed at all.
McClelland first came into the limelight in 1983, when he was the home plate umpire in the infamous "Pine Tar Game" between the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees.
McClelland later worked the 1993, 2000 and 2002 World Series, and was behind the plate in Game 6 of the 2002 series when the Anaheim Angels rallied from a 5-0 deficit to win the game and eventually take the series the next night.

Not only was McClelland on the crew when Albert Belle was found to have a corked bat, he was the umpire who took away a home run from Kansas City's George Brett in 1983 because of excessive pine tar.
McClelland gave the part of the bat he saw to security, who took it to the umpires locker room so it could be handed over to major league baseball officials.
McClelland planned to call in a report of the incident to his supervisor Tuesday night and then send a written report Wednesday morning.

Umpire Tim McClelland says there are times when it would be nice to have instant replay in major league baseball, but he doesn't expect the game to undergo any radical changes.
McClelland, who has made several notable calls in his 21 years in the major leagues, admitted there are times that he and other umpires would like to know for sure if they were right on a close call.
McClelland said one barrier to using instant replay is that ballparks don't have a uniform number of cameras in use during games.
