[1] He also was the first base umpire in the April 8, 1974, game in which Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Bill Russell dropped the ball momentarily (not ruled a catch by second base umpire Joe Brinkman), stepped on second, and then threw towards first.

In the top of the fifth inning, Phil Garner of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit a hard line drive that Cincinnati Reds right fielder Dave Collins appeared to catch.

However, Pulli ruled that Collins had trapped the ball, a call that proved significant when Garner scored later that inning and gave the Pirates the lead.

On May 31, 1999, the Florida Marlins were hosting the St. Louis Cardinals when Pulli, the crew chief of that game's umpires, used instant replay to review a home run call.

[9] The Marlins' Cliff Floyd hit a ball to the top of the left field scoreboard, near the yellow line that separated in-play from out-of-play.

[12] Pulli was born in Easton, Pennsylvania, and died in Palm Harbor, Florida, on August 28, 2013, due to complications from Parkinson's disease.
