Raindrops keep falling on their heads …

Umpire Jocko Conlan ejects Frankie Frisch in the second game of a doubleheader 82 years ago today at Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field after Pittsburgh’s manager walks out on the field with an umbrella to protest what he believes are deteriorating playing conditions.

The ejection comes in the second game of a doubleheader, which the Dodgers sweep 9-0 and 6-2.

Artist Norman Rockwell uses the moment as an inspiration for his classic “Tough Call” that is first published on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on April 23, 1949.

The umpires depicted by Rockwell in his painting are Larry Goetz, who is seen here arguing with Frisch in another game, Beans Reardon and Lou Jorda.
