Angelo "Augie" Guglielmo (January 17, 1915 – February 28, 1996) was an American professional baseball umpire who worked one full MLB season,, for the National League.[1] The native of Waterbury, Connecticut, a United States Army veteran of World War II, was an arbiter for two decades in Organized Baseball. Although his major-league tenure lasted only one year, he was the senior umpire in the Triple-A International League for 14 seasons (1953 to 1966)[2] and his stepson, Terry Tata, umpired in the Senior Circuit for 27 seasons (1973 to 1999) and 3,743 regular-season games.[3]
Guglielmo umpired a full slate of 154 regular-season games in 1952, including 42 games behind home plate and 39 at first base.[1] He ejected ten uniformed personnel—five of them members of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who won the National League pennant that season.
Guglielmo died in his native city at the age of 81.
