Timeline

1933

Robert Allen Engel (October 11, 1933 – March 5, 2018) was an American professional baseball umpire who worked in the National League from 1965 to 1990.

Engel wore uniform number 5 for most of his career.

A former president of the umpires union, Engel retired after being arrested for the theft of more than 4,000 baseball cards from a Target store in California, for which he pleaded no contest.

As a young man in Bakersfield, California, Engel worked as a hotel bellhop.

Baseball umpires who stayed at the hotel caught his attention; he noticed that they stayed out late at night and did not have to wake up until the early afternoon.

After serving in the military, Engel worked for an oil tool company.

He was hired into professional baseball and worked ten years in the minor leagues before receiving his promotion to the major leagues.

1987

Interviewed for a 1987 piece in Sports Illustrated, Engel expressed annoyance at fellow umpires with a flair for the dramatic, saying that "the players don't care how much gyration you put on. All they care about is getting them right. And I'll guarantee you, the players always want to know who's umpiring, because no two umpires have the same strike zone."

1990

Engel retired in 1990 after he pleaded no contest to charges of stealing more than 4,000 1990 Score baseball cards from a Target store in Bakersfield and attempting to steal cards from a second store.
