Pine Tar Game - Silver Anniversary
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. |

Besides, if you were going to include a coach, Hank Stram or Dick Howser would be there before Marty.

I only threw him in there to see if I could cause some sort of uproar. Watson would fine. I like the idea of Hunt, but you cannot have him and not include Kuaffman. So we better just keep it to actual athletes.

the no-brainers are Brett, Watson, DT, Dawson.
But...if you're going to adjust the criteria to include home-grown KC greats....you gotta consider David Cone.....and didnt Joe Carter grow up in KC??? Just a thought.

I know not a lot of people will agree with me, but there isn't a professional sports team I hate more than the NY fucking Yankemes.

I would argue that a trailer is a step up from living in Ruskin Heights. So you should have had a color TV.
