FILE - In this Aug. 29, 1997, file photo, mpire Ken Kaiser gives Chicago Cubs runner Sammy Sosa a hug after calling him out on an attempted steal of second base during the first inning of a baseball game against the Cleveland Indians at Jacobs Field in Cleveland. Kaiser, a former major league umpire, died in his hometown of Rochester, N.Y., on Tuesday, Aug. 8, the World Umpires Association said, Thursday, Aug. 10, 2017. He was 72. Kaiser was a colorful figure in more than two decades on the diamond. His career abruptly ended nearly two decades ago during labor talks. He joined a group of umpires who submitted resignations in 1999 during negotiations. The gamble by the Major League Umpires Association failed and he was not rehired. (AP Photo/Mark Duncan, File)
