Timeline
In the 1998 book Baseball's Golden Greeks by Diamantis Zervos, Jim Campanis describes a "Greek moment" in baseball when he was batting against Cincinnati Reds pitcher Milt Pappas, with Alex Grammas the third base coach and Pelekoudas calling balls and strikes behind the plate.
Pelekoudas was forced to retire after the 1975 season, due to then-limits that Major League Baseball had on umpires' ages.
Pelekoudas worked in the World Series in 1966 and 1972, serving as crew chief the second time, and in the All-Star Game in 1961 (second game), 1967 and 1975. He also officiated in the National League Championship Series in 1969 and 1973. Pelekoudas umpired in a total of six no-hitters, although was not behind the plate for any of them.
Pelekoudas is perhaps best remembered for ordering an apparent Hank Aaron home run nullified on August 18, 1965, because Aaron stepped out of the batter's box when he made contact; the umpire had warned Aaron on the previous two pitches.
He was the third base umpire for the first game ever held at Shea Stadium, played on April 17, 1964.
He was the third base umpire when Sandy Koufax pitched his second no-hitter on May 11, 1963, and was the first base umpire for Koufax's perfect game on September 9, 1965.
Pelekoudas was the home plate umpire when Willie Mays hit four home runs on April 30, 1961.
Pelekoudas began umpiring while serving as an Army Special Services officer during World War II, and eventually worked his way up to the National League after stops in the Eastern Shore (1948), Interstate (1949), Western (1950–1952) and Pacific Coast Leagues (1953–1959).
Pelekoudas married Jane Papangellin on April 28, 1946, and they had a daughter and a son. His brother Perry was also an umpire, working in the minor leagues. His son Lee Pelekoudas worked in the Seattle Mariners organization for 30 years, first as the traveling secretary and lastly as interim general manager.
Born in Chicago into a family of 14 children, Pelekoudas graduated from Crane Tech High School. He had an unsuccessful tryout with the St. Louis Cardinals as a player in 1934.
Christos George Pelekoudas (January 23, 1918 – November 30, 1984) was an American umpire in Major League Baseball who worked in the National League from 1960 to 1975.
