Doug Harvey has toured the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in preparation for his July induction. The 80-year-old former umpire called it “really something” and said he was “proud to be a part of it.” Harvey, who umpired 4,673 regular-season games during his career, also called five World Series, six All-Star Games and nine NLCS. He’s the ninth umpire to be inducted and the first living ump since Al Barlick in 1989. Harvey was one of the last major-league umps who didn’t attend umpiring school. He’ll be inducted July 25 along with Andre Dawson and Whitey Herzog. The Associated Press; AP photo
