According to his obituary, this major league umpire's actual name was Bruce E. Martin. The obituary may be viewed at:

https://www.phillytrib.com/bruce-e-m...df69ff1ed.html

He umpired his one major league game on April 8, 1991. Retrosheet lists him as Bruce Martine. I also checked a couple of contemporary newspapers for the box score of the Montreal-Pittsburgh game of April 8, 1991, and they listed him as Martine, umping at first base that evening.

The photo is from a webpage of pictures from the 2005 Philadelphia Catholic League Championship final baseball game. As can be seen in the obit, Bruce Martin was from Philadelphia and was a devout Catholic. The ECAC lettering on his cap stands for the Eastern College Athletic Conference. All four of the umps in the particular photo from which this image was drawn had the ECAC emblem on their caps.

He was identified as Bruce Martin in the caption to the photo.
