California Angels at Texas Rangers - July 6, 1991.
---------------------------------------------
This was the final game of umpire Steve Palermo's career.
While at a Dallas area restaurant later that evening, Palermo went to the aid of two waitresses who were being robbed in the establishment's parking lot. One of the perpetrators shot Palermo in the back, resulting in his being a paraplegic the rest of his life.
Palermo died in 2017 after a bout with cancer.
