Doug Eddings

Douglas Leon Eddings (born September 14, 1968) is an American professional umpire in Major League Baseball.

Eddings was the home plate umpire for Cal Ripken Jr.'s final major league game on October 6, 2001.

"[2] Not hearing himself called out, Pierzynski took a couple of steps toward the dugout, then turned and ran to first base while most of the Angels were walking off the field.

[7] In July & August 2021, Eddings would once again come under fire after being the home plate umpire in two San Diego Padres games.

[11] The next game, on August 20, saw the ejections of Padres manager Jayce Tingler, third baseman Manny Machado, and development coach Ryan Flaherty.

A report in The Hardball Times listed Eddings as having called the largest strike zone among all Major League umpires in 2011.
