Hello?![edit]

I think we got snuckered :) --Tom 00:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the timeline[edit]

[1] 1882 - National League umpire Richard Higham became the only major league umpire ever expelled from the game after the League judged him guilty of collusion with gamblers.

Article by Harold Higham[edit]

[2] He remains the only umpire to be forever disqualified from acting as such in any game of ball participated in by a National League Club. ..nothing is clearly stated in the official League minutes of a hearing held on the matter. Dick Higham never confessed to any wrongdoing and denied such accusations
