I am interested in collecting umpire autos. Does anyone know of a website or other resource that lists umpire schedules. I'm looking to find umpires who worked certain games. I haven't been able to really find anything so far.

Chances are that you won't either. There is not a set schedule (to my knowledge) about what games umps ump. One series Angel Hernandez might do a series in Atlanta, and the next series he might be in San Francisco.

Your BEST bet is to wait for the off season as 95% of them sign ttm c/o their homes.

Autograph collector is right...you have to try them at home...even during the season. They do get about a month off during the season (collectively) so sending during the season would be ok.

There should be "headshots" that you can print or try this site for cards..

Good luck

As a reference I got a set of the 1988 (something set) and sent and got all but maybe 2 back (set of 50ish)

The same seller is also selling two more sets of the same.

Is Angel Hernandez the most well known ump? Everyone knows him, but when is he gonna stop sucking?

My favs: "Country" Joe West, & Dutch Rennert (Retired).

Hernandez stinks as a home plate ump. His strike zone is erratic.

I will probably buy the cards. Thanks for the suggestion. I never knew they made such things.

I'm not looking for a schedule really. Maybe a history. If I wanted to know who umped a game on say July 6th 1994 is there anywhere that lists that type of records. I'm thinking that finding pictures of games that umpires have worked and sending them to get signed would be pretty cool. It's not all about the players you know.
