Book synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Frank John Dezelan was an American umpire in Major League Baseball who worked in the National League for five seasons. He was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Born to immigrants from Yugoslavia who settled in Johnstown, Dezelan served in the United States Navy during the Korean War. He played baseball during military service, and on the sandlots of Cambria County. He spent thirteen years umpiring in baseball before ending his career due a brain tumor. His umpiring career was launched in a dentist's chair, according to his family. While being treated by his dentist, Richard Goldberg, Frank discussed his love of baseball, and Goldberg suggested that he become an umpire. Dezelan decided to heed the advice and was accepted into the Al Somers Academy of Professional Umpiring in Daytona Beach, Florida. After graduating in 1958, Dezelan began his umpiring career in the Northern League that year and returned for the 1959 season
