William Terry "Bill" Valentine, Jr. (November 21, 1932 – April 26, 2015) was a professional baseball umpire who worked in the American League from 1963 to 1968. Valentine was an umpire in the 1965 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. In his career, he umpired 947 Major League games.〔(Retrosheet )〕 ==Early life== Valentine was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, to William Valentine Sr., a railroad worker, and Margaret Kremer Valentine. Valentine grew up a short distance from Travelers Field, the home stadium of the Arkansas Travelers minor league team. Valentine worked odd jobs at the stadium, including sorting soft drink bottles before games, retrieving seat cushions after games, and shagging foul balls and returning them during games.〔 Valentine began umpiring in amateur and semi-pro games as a teenager. Valentine graduated from North Little Rock High School in 1950, and received a scholarship from the Arkansas State Teachers College to study journalism. However, Valentine continued to umpire, and in 1951 he attended Bill McGowan’s umpiring school in West Palm Beach, Florida.〔 He received an offer to umpire in the Class D Ohio-Indiana League, and became the youngest professional umpire in baseball history, at the age of 18.〔
