Greg Kosc

Kosc attended UTEP where he competed in weightlifting, hammer throw and shot put.

In 1975, the year before Clark's hiring, the American League ruled umpires could use the outside protector or the National League standard inside protector, invented in the 1910s by another Hall of Fame umpire, Bill Klem.

In 1977, the AL ruled all incoming umpires had to use the inside protector, an edict which affected new hires Steve Palermo and Durwood Merrill.

He was an umpire on September 6, 1995, when Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak.

[2] He was also one of the umpires for the single-game playoff to decide the AL West title in 1995 and later on was one of those 22 umpires who submitted their resignations as part of a failed union strategy in 1999, a move which backfired badly for most of them, when Major League Baseball opted to accept the resignations.
