MLB umps in minors during '94-'95 strike?

I think spring training 94 is most likely. Didn't Jordan walk away from baseball in March 95 before any spring games?

OK, that would make sense. He left on March 10 of '95 -- not sure if that was time enough to get some games in.

Yep, I think the strike ended and spring training didn't start until until very early April that year.

Kaiser would have definitely worked spring training games in 94 when Jordan was in camp.

Thanks for the info, Mike!

Veteran umpires didn't/don't work fall league games. I think you'd be safe in scratching that possibility off your list.

Thanks, Bill!

My wife's cousins' husband was a minor league umpire for a while the 90's. He now has a dream job with the Boston Red Sox. Here's more about him. His name is Kevin O'Connor.
