Satch Davidson, a National League baseball umpire from 1969-1984, was behind home plate during two of the game's biggest home runs.
He was calling balls and strikes on the night Henry Aaron hit his 715th home run to break Babe Ruth's home run record. He was also behind the plate when Carlton Fisk won Games 6 of the 1975 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds.
He died on August 21, 2010 at his home in Houston at the age of 75 from an undisclosed cause.
He umpired many other memorable games including no-hitters by Jim Maloney and Don Wilson on consecutive days in Cincinnati.
