Biographical Information

Outfielder Ernie Stewart played 12 games for the 1934 Portland Beavers, going 9 for 40 with two doubles and playing error-free ball in the field.

Stewart was an umpire in the Pacific Coast League (1936), Western Association (1937), Three-I League (1938), and American Association (1938-1940). He moved up to the American League from 1941 to 1945. He also worked the 1942 All-Star Game. He was fired by League President Will Harridge for "disloyalty": he had complained directly to Commissioner Happy Chandler about the low salaries paid to AL umpires.
