Tim McClelland Biography
Tim McClelland is one of the most popular and richest Umpire who was born on December 12, 1951 in Jackson, Mississippi, United States. As of June 1, 2023, T. has a net worth approximately $5 Million.
Timothy Reid McClelland (born December 12, 1951) is an American former umpire in Major League Baseball who worked in the American League from 1983 to 1999 and throughout both leagues from 2000 until his retirement prior to the 2015 season. He called many important games, from post-season games to the George Brett “Pine Tar” game in 1983. He was the plate umpire for the Sammy Sosa corked bat game on June 3, 2003, when the Chicago Cubs hosted the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Wrigley Field. He wore uniform number 36 after his promotion to the AL, and kept the number when Major League Baseball merged the American and National League umpiring staffs in 2000.
In his first season in the AL, McClelland was behind the plate in the infamous “Pine Tar Game” at Yankee Stadium on July 24, 1983, in which George Brett of the Kansas City Royals hit an apparent two-run home run, which was immediately protested by New York Yankees manager Billy Martin due to an obscure equipment rule. McClelland inspected Brett’s bat, which had pine tar 24 inches up the handle. Because of the rule stating that pine tar cannot extend more than 18 inches up a bat handle, McClelland called Brett out, which nullified the home run. AL president Lee MacPhail later overturned McClelland’s decision, clarifying that any protest regarding equipment must be made prior to a play, and had the Yankees and Royals replay the inning. Nine years later, McClelland was a member of the crew that worked Brett’s 3,000th-hit game and was one of the first to congratulate him.
