I was the only person to start a game in centerfield for the white sox, get a base hit, and then Umpire the last three innings of the game.

Charlie Comiskey?

Nope. Also the first and I think only umpire in the Hall of Fame

No there are others in the Hall I am sure. I know Nestor Chylak is a HOF'er and Klem is considered the father of MLB umpires.

 

 

Jocko Conlan played for the Sox and filled in for an umpire who fell ill. That, I believe, is how he started his umpiring career.

Jocko Conlan is correct. Played centerfield, got a hit, then umpired the 7-8-9 innings. Different time and place.

Only pitcher to win a WS game for all 3 NYC teams?

That's a tough question, and I'm not even sure he pitched for all 3, but I'll go with Roger Craig.

Yessir

My first thought was long-time reds broadcaster, Waite Hoyt but I think he had most of his postseason success with the Yanks.

 

Maglie was my next thought but he must have been getting up there in age when he pitched for the Yankees. You may be right but I didn't think it was likely that he had a World Series win with the Yankees.

Ixne this question. Went back to confirm. He played for. 3 different NYC teams in the WS but did not get a win for each.

I was the first person to hit a pinch-hit grand slam in post-season play. I did it in 1995.
