Bill Kinnamon, an A.L. umpire for the entire decade of the 1960s, died April 16th in Clearwater, less than a month before his 92nd birthday.

Kinnamon's main claim to fame was being the home plate umpire when Roger Maris hit his 61st home run in 1961. He also worked in three All-Star games and the 1968 World Series.
