Goetz umpired in the NL for 22 years. A typical instance of his firm handling of dissenters came in 1956 when the Reds' Frank Robinson disputed a strike call longer than Goetz thought appropriate. The ump ordered the Giants' Steve Ridzik to pitch and called strike three while Robinson was still arguing. (RTM)
