Luciano the Bully at 6-4 Royals Umpire
Umpire Ron Luciano, 6-4, 270 pounds, says few people argue with him this season. He is the majors' largest umpire and one of the youngest at 34. A Syracuse alum with a master’s degree, Luciano shifted from football to baseball after talks with former players. He shares his career path from college all star games to umpiring school in Daytona Beach and pro experience with Detroit and Buffalo. He calls umpiring the most enjoyable work, embracing the pressure and action.
