We will be remembering and honoring Larry Gallagher for a lifetime of service to Baseball and Umpiring. On Aug 4, one of our youth Umpires will be awarded the Larry Gallagher Memorial Scholarship.

​

Larry played on baseball teams in his youth, high school, college and men's amateur  teams into his 30's.

​

He started umpiring baseball at age 14 and continued to age 79.  He umpired the Twins in 1979 when the umpires were on Strike.  To become a better umpire, at age 62 he went to Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring.  He was the umpire to call when there was a question about a play, because he knew the rules.

​

Larry worked for the Minnesota State High School League as

a Regional Coordinator, Rules Interpreter and Clinician.

​

The umpire chosen for this scholarship will exemplify Larry's professionalism, rules knowledge, and dedication to the game.
