Derryl Cousins (born
August 18,
1946 in
Fresno, California) is an
umpire in
Major League Baseball who has worked in the
American League from 1979 to 1999, and throughout both major leagues since 2000. He has umpired in the
World Series in
1988,
1999 and
2005. He has also officiated in the
All-Star Game in 1987 and 1998, in five
American League Championship Series (
1985,
1989,
1995,
2003,
2006), and in five
Division Series (
1997,
1999,
2002,
2005,
2007). Cousins was promoted to Crew Chief for the 2008 season.
Cousins has worn uniform number 13 since the AL adopted them in 1980. Since he was called up to the AL during the 1979 umpires' strike, he was not allowed to join the Major League Umpires Association, the former umpires' union which was headed by
Richie Phillips. He is currently a member of the
World Umpires Association, the new
collective bargaining union of MLB umpires since 2000.
Cousins was the home plate umpire for the game between the
San Francisco Giants and the
San Diego Padres on
August 4,
2007. In the top of the second inning at San Diego,
Barry Bonds of the Giants hit his 755th career home run off
Clay Hensley, tying
Hank Aaron for first all-time. Also, he was the third base umpire in Game 1 of the
1988 World Series when
Kirk Gibson hit his famous pinch-hit home run.
It's clear this guy is a problem - the link to Bonds is suspicous, & being on 3rd base when Gibson hit that home run in 88 series probably cost him some money and he has probably held a grudge against the dodgers since.
I will be forwarding my file to Allan (bud) Selig - he will probably do nothing though....:lol:
