Born in Oneida, Pennsylvania, and raised in Allentown, Honochick graduated from West Hazleton High School. He played football and baseball at Temple University in Philadelphia and minor league baseball for three seasons in the International League with the Baltimore Orioles. Honochick was an umpire in the IL prior to his promotion to the majors in March 1949.
Honochick was the crew chief who declared that the Washington Senators forfeit its last game (1971, played at home at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. on September 30) because a mob, furious that the franchise was relocating to the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex the next season, stormed the playing field with the team only one out away from victory. He was the only MLB umpire to travel with the Baltimore Orioles on its tour of Japan later that year in October and November. Read even more about Jim Honochick at Wikipedia
