In celebration of LGBT History Month, the Athletics Department in collaboration with the GLBTA Pride Center are excited to present Dave Pallone. Dave Pallone worked 18 years as a professional umpire; 10 of those years with the National Baseball League. As the third youngest umpire in baseball history, he demonstrated courage, professionalism and the ability to withstand adversity through many of baseball's high profile and controversial events. He is the author of the 1990 New York Time's best-selling autobiography, Behind the Mask: My Double Life in Baseball, which has been rereleased in recognition of it's 20th anniversary.
