World Series Umpires

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive list of every Major League umpire who has officiated at a Fall Classic (World Series) along with a complete list of all Series games they officiated.

"I never thought eyesight was the most important thing in umpiring. The most important things are guts, honesty, common sense, a desire for fair play and an understanding of human nature." - World Series Umpire Bill Klem

World Series Major League Umpires

The Major League umpire who has worked the most consecutive World Series is ALSO Bill Klem with five — 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914 & 1915. Why was he selected most often? Was he the best ever? Share your opinion on Baseball Fever.

Umpires were originally selected to appear in World Series games based on their quality of work. In 1975 Shag Crawford refused his assignment to the World Series stating that a secret rotation based system had been installed instead of the earlier quality system. In 1987 a rotation system was actually used, but in 1990 it reverted back to the merit system — except preference was given to those umpires who had not worked a World Series.
