It's playoff time, so the games are taking a trusted veteran umpire a pretty good way out of Shreveport.īut his life is much more than football or baseball, and always was. Just last week he was umpiring baseball games in Jonesville, La., and Ruston, and this week he's off to DeQuincy. And he's still working - at age 70, with no intention of stopping. He has worked hundreds of games no, probably a thousand-plus.
That is especially true in Shreveport-Bossier and across North Louisiana when it concerns high school football and any kind of baseball.įor the past 45 years or so, T-Willie has been one of the most prominent, and most respected, football referees and baseball umpires in that area. If you say T-Willie Moore, they'll know him. His name is Clyde Oliver Moore, but few people know him by that.
