Satch Davidson

David "Satch" Davidson (January 18, 1936 – August 21, 2010) was a Major League Baseball umpire in the National League from 1969 to 1984. During his career, Davidson was behind the plate for Hank Aaron's 715th home run which broke Babe Ruth's career record and he called the game in which Carlton Fisk hit a game-winning home run in game 6 of the 1975 World Series. Davidson wore uniform number 4 when the National League adopted umpire uniform numbers in 1970.

Davidson was born on January 18, 1936, in London, Ohio and attended Wilmington College and Ohio State University. His nickname came from his being a fan of the character "Sach" played by Huntz Hall in the 1940s films featuring The Bowery Boys. He played professional football and was a catcher in the minor leagues for the Columbus Jets in 1961 before becoming an umpire in the New York – Penn League in 1966 and in the Eastern League in the following two seasons.

Promoted to the National League in 1969 after only three years umpiring minor league baseball, Davidson was the home plate umpire for the pair of no-hitters thrown on consecutive days during the first month of play that season at Crosley Field when Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds no-hit the Houston Astros and on May 1 when Don Wilson pitched a no-hitter for the Astros against the Reds. He would be umpire for three other no-hitters during his career.
