Elmer Guckert

Umpire Elmer Bernard Guckert (January 15, 1929 – June 6, 2013) worked a single Major League Baseball game, which took place on May 21, 1976. When the regular umpires refused to cross a food service picket line that day, Guckert filled in, serving as the third base officiator. The game was between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs.[1][2]

Guckert was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended Oliver High School and then the University of Pittsburgh.
