Youtube clearly shows catcher Cerone pointing out the issue not Martin as Wikipedia states. How do you tell Wiki to change that? I tried.
2:41 2:42 2:43
I was at that game, I think that day was also bat giveaway day at Yankee stadium 😃😃😃
The Way George Runs Out of The Dugout is Hysterical To Watch!
I think his "greenies" must have just kicked in.
It's like being fired from a job and the person goes apeshit
2:40 Fun begins 😅😅
Classic baseball moment😂
The Royals running away with the bat while the Yankees security chases them😂
2:46 he’s steaming mad , maybe just a little
Sorry but s cosh should not brake to influence a call. That tar has nothing to do with that hit. Take your loss and move along
Imagine the Yankees complaining about cheating.
It's funny in the re telling they never mentioned Gaylord Perry's heroics in this game
Let's say if a player reacted the same way Brett did today, what would've been the league's response? 10 game suspension?? Lol…
Only Billy can cause that much Chaos
The pine-tar bat was tall than home plate than something taller than the bat :l
What a baby
It was an illegal bat, the decision should have never been overturned.
am i mixing up sports memories or does anyone else remember a few months after this incident FedEx doing a commercial re: how they were chosen to ship the bat to AL office?
McClellan points to the wrong person in the dugout when calling Brett out. He did not know where Brett was and / or who he was
George Brett and Marty McSorely should have a beer together and have a good laugh … 🙂
