Reference help

When trying to find a reference to document a historical incident, a search of the Google News Archives can been helpful, [http://www.google.com/search?q=joe+niekro+emery+board&tbs=nws:1,ar:1&source=newspapers#hl=en&safe=active&as_qdr=all&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&q=gaylord+perry+ejected+for+doctoring+baseball&oq=gaylord+perry+ejected+for+doctoring+baseball&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=serp.3...3510.42808.0.43186.67.49.11.4.7.0.197.6266.0j48.48.0...0.0.Ryd2DPiGPYU&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=75591419696f9042&biw=1682&bih=1035 as seen here].

Also, many umpire articles make mention of some notable games that an umpire has officiated in. When searching for a reference to document this involvement, one might find box scores for said games listing the umpires at sites such as [http://www.baseball-reference.com/ Baseball-Reference.com], [http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ Baseball Almanac.com], [http://espn.go.com/ ESPN.go.com] (which is often a good place to find game recaps), and [http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp MLB.com]. Retrosheet's [http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/index.html#Umpires Umpire directory] also provides useful biographical info as well as box scores. In fact, Retrosheet now includes information not only about ejection totals for a season, but also provides very brief summaries regarding individual ejections.
