Hank Soar from the Chronology
Jun 3, 1956 - At Baltimore a pair of former Orioles take revenge on the O's as the White Sox win 12-0 and 9-2. Dick Donovan wins the lidlifter as ex-O Dave Philley raps 4 hits. Erv Palica is the loser. Nellie Fox is hit by a pitch on the seat of the pants by reliever Johnny Schmitz but ump Hank Soar rules he didn't try to get out of the way and calls a ball. Schmitz then hits him again and Fox gets 1B. In the nitecap Jim Wilson hurls a 4-hitter to beat his former teammates.
May 21, 1955 - In a game marked by a fight between Maury McDermott and Jackie Jensen the Senators top the Red Sox 1-0 in 12 innings. In the 12th Jensen is trapped off 1B but his way back to the bag is obstructed by first baseman Vernon: it is called by 2B ump Ed Runge but he makes no gestures and Jensen continues back to 1B. McDermott waiting to put the tag on is knocked over by Jensen and Hank Soar at 1B calls the runner out. Soar is overruled and then the fight starts between Jensen and the pitcher and both are tossed. Pedro Ramos who succeeds McDermott draws a walk and scores the winning run.
