Norman Rockwell - Three Umpires

In this scene, Rockwell depicted three umpires at Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The umpires portrayed were Larry Goetz, Beans Reardon, and Lou Jorda. The scoreboard shows the Pittsburgh Pirates in the lead, 1-0.


This was Rockwell's painting for the cover of the April 23, 1949 issue of the Saturday Evening Post.


This painting has been given many titles: Bottom of the Sixth, Game Called Because of Rain, Game Called on Account of Rain, Tough Call, and Three Umpires.
