Dale Allan Scott (born August 14, 1959) is an American former umpire in Major League Baseball. He worked in the American League from 1986 to 1999, and officiated in both leagues from 2000 until his retirement after the 2017 season. He became a crew chief in 2001. He wore uniform number 39 his first two years and number 5 thereafter.

Umpiring career[edit]

Scott began umpiring at age 15 and entered the minor leagues in 1981, eventually working his way up to the Triple-A American Association. He umpired a single major league game during the 1985 MLB season, making his debut in an August 19 game between the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers.[1] Scott became a full-time MLB umpire in 1986, working 116 games that season. Scott worked a total of 3,897 regular season games, 91 post-season games, and issued 90 ejections in his MLB career.

Scott umpired in the World Series in 1998, 2001 and 2004, in the All-Star Game in 1993, 2001, and 2011, calling balls and strikes. He has also worked in six League Championship Series (1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2009, 2013) and in twelve Division Series (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2015).

When the AL introduced red shirts in 1996, Scott frequently was the only umpire to wear the color, rather than the usual navy blue. He almost always wore the red shirt when working home plate, including Game 3 of the 1998 World Series at Qualcomm Stadium.

Scott worked his last game on April 14, 2017, in Toronto.[2] In the 8th inning he was struck in the mask and was carted off the field with a concussion and whiplash.[3] This was Scott’s fourth concussion in five years, his second in nine months. After consulting with several sports medicine and concussion specialists, Scott decided not to return, and announced his retirement in December 2017.[4]

Notable games[edit]

On May 30, 1988, Scott ejected New York Yankees manager Billy Martin from a game against the Oakland Athletics. Martin was suspended for three games for throwing dirt at Scott during the argument.[5]

On July 1, 1990, Scott was the home plate umpire as Andy Hawkins of the New York Yankees pitched eight hitless innings in a road game against the Chicago White Sox, yet lost; it was, at the time, only the second game in history in which a pitcher lost a complete game no-hitter. In 1991 MLB revised the rules relating to official no-hit games, requiring that a pitcher must complete a minimum of 9 innings, and thereby voiding Hawkins’ effort.

He was the home plate umpire on April 27, 1994, when Scott Erickson threw a no-hitter for the Twins vs the Brewers.

Scott was the first base umpire when Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander threw a no-hitter at Comerica Park against the Milwaukee Brewers on June 12, 2007.[6] Five days prior to Verlander’s no-hitter, Scott was also at first base in a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics in which Boston pitcher Curt Schilling had a no-hitter until Shannon Stewart broke up the no-hitter with a single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.[7]

Scott worked his 3,000th career, regular season MLB game in St. Louis on his 50th birthday, August 14, 2009.

He was the third base umpire for Verlander’s second no-hitter, thrown on May 7, 2011, against the Toronto Blue Jays.[8]

Scott was the third base umpire when six Seattle Mariners pitchers combined to no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 8, 2012.[9]

He was the second-most tenured umpire selected to officiate the 2014 Opening Series at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney, Australia.[10]

Personal life[edit]

Scott worked as a radio personality at KBDF, a Top 40 station in Eugene, Oregon, in the late 1970s. He is an avid Oregon Ducks football fan and often attends games at Autzen Stadium when given the opportunity. He is friends with baseball commentator Harold Reynolds.

Scott came out as gay in 2014, thus becoming the first openly gay umpire in MLB, and is married to Michael Rausch, whom he met at CC Slaughters in Portland in October 1986.[11]

In 2015, Scott was inducted into the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame,[12] and to the Hall of Honor at Sheldon High School in his hometown of Eugene.[13]

Scott released a book on May 1, 2022, “The Umpire Is Out: Calling the Game and Living My True Self” with Rob Neyer.

This device could change the youth game when it comes to throwing and pitching. Increase a player’s results, safety and long-term involvement in the game. Jason Colleran, 18 years studying and consulting on Biomechanics. Dealt with his own arm injuries. Believes strongly that communication is a big part of arm issues. Web Site: Has videos, data driven details, and endorsements. www.thekineticarm.com Email Jason Colleran at [email protected] Jason inventor of the Kinetic Arm and Owner of the Elite Edge Training Center in Atlanta. Kinetic Arm highlighted at the ABCA convention in 2022 as the most innovative product. This episode is over an hour because of the importance. A youth device is being developed and can change players long term health and development. Players at the high school, college and pro level are already using them. Use in practice. Use in games. Hitters can use them because there is stress on the joints when you swing a bat, adds to throwing and pitching stress. Off loads stress up to 30%. Stabilizes arm while in motion. Stop weighted ball till you are completely educated in this area. Youth kids should not be throwing weighted balls. So much to this discussion.

MEET THE FOUNDER JASON COLLERAN :

The majority of overuse arm injuries are found in competitive throwing and swinging sports. Which is why former athlete Jason Colleran developed the Kinetic Arm as the first dynamic arm stabilizer engineered for athletes. Over half a decade was invested in research and development to produce the first dynamic arm stabilizer that could worn to help stabilize and support the arm during throwing mechanics. “My goal is to offer the highest level of arm protection to athletes, so they can have an effective preventative tool that will reduce arm stress and help increase their longevity, performance, and overall health.”
