Royals Pine Tar Game - Silver Anniversary - Page 5

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.

That was the 2nd most infuriating end to a game I ever watched. The 1st being Chris Chambliss' walk-off home run to win the playoffs for the Yankmes in '76.

I know this is an old thread. Pretty much everyone else agreed 2 other faces would be len dawson and tom watson, but I'm surprised no one suggested Satchel Paige as the 4th.

Here's the "alleged" pine tar incident.

A lot of people couldn't understand how a player could get so angry about something like that. IMO, it was years of frustration of losing the ALCS the hated Yankees that came to a head. I almost jumped into the TV I was so mad...I was right there with George in my anger...GD MOTHERFN YANKEES DID IT AGAIN!

It really is a shit move to protest after the HR. Could you imagine if Randy Moss or Santonio Holmes schooled your secondary for a game winning TD, and only after he hauled it in, protesting that his socks weren't properly tucked in. It's not so much that they protested it at all, but they were laying in wait to protest when it made a difference.

Yeah, big blunder on SIs part. No way that pic is from '79. Dumbasses...
