About Frank Pulli

Frank Victor Pulli was an American professional baseball umpire, working in the National League from 1972 until 1999. He umpired many postseason games, including four World Series. Pulli wore uniform number 14 during his career. Pulli (umpiring at first base) maintained that Jackson did not "intentionally" interfere with the throw (despite Jackson ever-so-slightly shifting his leg to cause the ball to hit it) and the play stood. He also was the first base umpire in the April 8, 1974, game in which Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record.
