Michael John "Mike" Walsh (April 29, 1850 – February 2, 1929) was an Irish-American umpire and manager in Major League Baseball who umpired 304 games from 1875 to 1888 in three different leagues: the National Association, the National League, and the American Association.
As was customary in his era, Walsh was the sole umpire in every game he called. After debuting in the National Association in September 1875, he umpired in the NL's first season in 1876, with only Charles F. Daniels officiating more games, but he departed at the end of July before returning to work two games at the end of the season, then several games in 1878 and 1879 and much of the second half of the 1880 season. He moved to the American Association for the 1882–1883 campaigns when that league was established, and after one season as a manager he resumed his officiating work in 1885 and 1886; he also called a single game each in the 1887 and 1888 seasons. Among the highlights of his 11-year career were his games officiating three no-hitters, the first coming on September 11, 1882 by Tony Mullane. The second came a mere eight days later on September 19 when Guy Hecker tossed one; these were the first two no-hitters in the American Association, then in its first season. The third no-hitter occurred on July 24, 1886 when Adonis Terry threw the first of his two career no-hitters.
