Hank O'Day
Henry M. O'Day (July 8, 1859〔Many sources have traditionally given O'Day's birth year as 1862; O'Day himself regularly reported his birth year as 1864 or later, and his actual public birth record was lost in the Chicago Fire. However, he is listed in the 1860 Census as a 1-year-old. (The family name was entered in both the 1860 and 1870 censuses as "Day".) 〕 – July 2, 1935), nicknamed "The Reverend", was an American right-handed pitcher and later an umpire and manager in Major League Baseball. After a seven-year major league playing career, he worked as a National League (NL) umpire for 30 seasons between 1895 and 1927.
O'Day umpired in ten World Series – second only to Bill Klem's total of 18 – including five of the first seven played, and was behind the plate for the first modern World Series game in 1903. Retiring at age 68 years, 2 months, he remains the oldest umpire in major league history – a fact which was not known until recently, as he routinely shaved five to seven years from his true age throughout his career. His 3,986 total games as an umpire ranked third in major league history when he retired, and his 2,710 games as the plate umpire still rank second in major league history to Klem's total of 3,544. He is largely known for his controversial decision in a pivotal 1908 game, a ruling that still causes debate today. O'Day interrupted his umpiring career twice for single seasons as a manager, leading the Cincinnati Reds in 1912 and the Chicago Cubs in 1914. He remains the only person ever to serve full seasons in the NL as a player, manager and umpire. O'Day was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in July 2013.
==Early life==
O'Day was born in Chicago, the son of railroad engineer James O'Day ( – 1885) and his wife Margaret〔The name of O'Day's mother has been reported in many biographies as Mary, with the number of children in the family given as six; these inaccuracies likely originated from reports in O'Day's obituaries, based on information given by survivors who had limited knowledge of the family prior to 1900.〕 ( – 1895), who were immigrants from Ireland〔 and were both deaf. The couple had at least seven children:〔 Daniel ( – 1898), James Jr. ( – before 1895〔James Jr. and Margaret were not listed as survivors in their mother's death notice.〕), Catherine ( – 1901〔), Henry, Margaret ( – before 1895〔〔), Mary McNamara ( – 1924〔), and Joseph (1870–1885). The O'Days originally settled in Buffalo, New York;〔Daniel was born in Buffalo. (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Daniel O'Day, 'Illinois, Cook County Deaths, 1878–1922' )〕 by the mid-1850s, they had moved to Cincinnati, and they relocated to Chicago around 1858. Henry was born in the vicinity of Ewing Street (later renamed Cabrini Street) and Jefferson Street, which was just one block north of the starting point of the Chicago Fire in 1871; however, by 1870, the family had moved about two miles west to 1022 W. Jackson Street〔The 1870 Census placed the family in the 13th Ward, which extended west from Ashland Avenue.〕 (renumbered in 1909 as 2433 W. Jackson Boulevard), which remained the family residence until the early 20th century. O'Day worked as a steam fitter in Chicago before entering organized baseball.
