Umpires Remember Bell With Missing-Man Formation 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:46 pm

The umpiring crew for Game 3 of the ALCS lined up in missing-man formation during a moment of silence for umpire Wally Bell, who died of an apparent heart attack.


The moment of silence was held before the national anthem at Comerica Park.


Five umpires lined up next to each other, with a gap between them and the sixth member of the crew.


Bell, a veteran of 21 big league seasons, died Monday at 48.
