Dale Scott - Umpiring Career

Umpiring Career

Scott began umpiring at age 15, and entered the minor leagues in 1981, eventually working his way up to the American Association. He umpired in the World Series in 1998, 2001 and 2004, in the All-Star Game in 1993, 2001, and 2011, calling balls and strikes. He has also worked in five League Championship Series (1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2009 ) and in nine Division Series (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2011).

When the AL introduced red shirts in 1996, Scott frequently was the only umpire to wear the color, rather than the usual navy blue. He almost always wore the red shirt when working home plate, including Game 3 of the 1998 World Series at Qualcomm Stadium.
