Major League Baseball reportedly made Kerwin Danley the first African American umpire crew chief in league history Wednesday night, according to Ben Walker of the Associated Press.
The 58-year-old Danley made his major league umpiring debut in 1992 as a fill-in and was hired on a full-time basis in 1998.
Danley is a highly accomplished umpire with two World Series and two All-Star Game assignments on his resume. He also umpired the American League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees last season.
