Gus Klein

Gus Klein was a replacement umpire in the American League in 1991 and 1995. In 1991, the regular umpires had gone on strike during spring training, and the conflict was only resolved just before opening day, necessitating the use of replacement umpires for one game before the regular umpires could take their assignments. In 1995, the umpires struck following the resolution of the players' strike, and the two leagues used replacements for a few weeks. he worked 6 more games that season.
