Only Man in Both Halls of Fame Dies at 77

Cal Hubbard, famed athlete and umpire, dies of cancer in St Petersburg Florida at age 77. Hubbard holds the unique distinction of induction into both baseball and football Halls of Fame and played for the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers from 1927 to 1936. He later served as American League Umpire-in-Chief and counted Joe DiMaggio among disciplined players he observed. Hubbard also is in the National Collegiate Football Hall of Fame and played college football at Centenary and Geneva under Bo McMillin. He was stepfather to Middletown’s Robert Freeman.
