Jocko Conlan (b. December 6, 1899 - d. April 16, 1989) A long-time minor leaguer, Conlan started umpiring by accident. In a 1935 game, when one of the regular umpires was overcome by heat, Conlan was rushed in to pinch-ump. Remembered for his trade-mark polka dot tie, Conlan utilized a sharp tongue to keep order. He umpired in six World Series and six All-Star games.

Comments: There's only one card issue for several HOF umpires including Jocko Conlon - 1955 Bowman. I purchased a PSA 6 in December, 2003 from hobby friend Jay Wolt (Cavalcade of Sports). In March, 2004 I upgraded to a PSA 7 with an eBay win. I upgraded one last time in January, 2005 to this PSA 8 when another hobby friend Marc Schoenen sold me the card in a chat room transaction.
