Royals Pine Tar Game - Silver Anniversary - Page 2

WilliamTheIrish · 07-24-2008, 07:44 AM

Today is the silver annivesary of the famous "Pine Tar Game". One of the funnest days of my life. Until Billy Martin tried to ruin it for me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Tar_Incident

Goerge Brett, three years after hitting the mammoth shot into the upper deck in the 1980 ALCS off Gossage, connects again at Yankee Stadium with the Royals training the Yankees 4-3. UL Washington was on first and the blast gave the Royals a 5-4 lead.

Until Billy Martin (c*cksucker) played his card. Brett coming out of the dugout like man posessed. ( Steve Braun said : We haven't seen a face like that since Charlie Manson"). Gaylord Perry sneaking out to home plate to sneak the bat away.

The Yankee dugout must have been sitting there just laughing their collective asses off. F them.

Goosage claimed "If he hadn't hit that fucking ball it would have drilled him in the neck". (greatest line in the whole incident).

Anyway, if you're going out to the game tonight, there should be quite a video display I would think.

Thannk goodness AL comissioner Lee Macphail wasn't a moron. The Yankees were such total pussies about the incident that during the August 18th replay replay of the last 1.1 innings they put Ron Guidry in CF and put Donny Ballgame at 2B. Total pussies, the whole lot of them.

Tip one today for George and the boys.

I started looking through some old magazines and remembering some of the great days at the plate George had. One that I remember so vividly was his three home run game against the Yankees and Catfish Hunter in the ALCS in 1978.

He put the team on his back that game, but Doug F'ing Bird blew it for us in the 8th.

That one hurt.

In '85 I was at all 4 games against The Angels(last week of the season) as they were battling back and forth for the division lead and remember Brett having an inside the park homerun.Man those days were great because as a fan whenever he stepped into the box you had faith something good was going to happen.

Wow, it's a Jamie sighting!

I think you have to include Tom Watson. Marty never won a championship, so you have to drop him.
