Thrilled with these for the WWII collection:
Chylak: was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge and earned a Purple Heart. (Had a severe eye injury; sometimes umpire jokes write themselves.)
Donatelli: fascinating story: was a POW in Germany, actually started his umpiring "career" there, umping games between the prisoners.

Also, acquired last month, what I feel is a total oddity and surely uncommon: Harold Arlin, who was the first broadcaster ever over the radio for a baseball game (and FB!)
