Rinaldo Pinellli, once known as Babe Pinelli on Cincinnati Reds, Tigers and White Sox teams, became a respected National League umpire on Ford Frick's staff. Known for his temper in youth, he won several one punch battles but kept calm behind the plate. Pinelli urged by Dykes in a tense Cleveland spring, kept his cool and called games fairly. He has two sons in baseball circles, Ray, a 17-year-old shortstop at St. Ignatius in San Francisco, and Roy, 19, Notre Dame student and quarterback with growing baseball promise.
