MLB sucks for taking all these vids from us!!

This was a homer call that would not have been made in any other ballpark in the country. Also, George was a certified Yankee KILLER!

There was no fastball that Brett couldn't get around on. In the 1980 ALCS he homered off a Gossage fastball that was clocked at 98 mph. But that pitch was down and in and that sped Brett's bat up. This pitch was head high at 94 MPH and not too inside. Not an easy pitch to pull, and Brett just clocked it. In Yankee Stadium, in homerun situations late in games, Brett always used to move up on the plate and try to pull it. A very smart strategy

[dzanier]

I don't blame the Yanks for protesting the homer and I don't blame the Commisioner for upholding the homer. He let commons sense take over. Pine tar gives you a better grip maybe but it does not help the ball go further. If Billy Martin and the Yanks could've known how much this one little incident would affect their season negatively from this moment onwards in 1983 they would not have protested. It turned into a circus and a big distraction.

@Hunkola I want YOU to dowse yourself in gasoline.

[upinya25]

@Hunkola yeah because gasoline is readily available in a baseball dugout...dumbass

[turkeytonite]

I saw it live and was shocked as everyone else was that anybody could pull goose gossages' best stuff. He did it, and nobody could take that away from him. I'm sure the commissioner thought the same way and made the right decision by reversing the call.

The pine tar rule is only in the book to keep from ruining balls all damned day. Pine tar does not in any way help a man hit a home run. Gossage threw a meatball, and Brett killed it. Billy Martin and the Yankees pulled that bullshit out to avoid a loss, and making an honorable game a slap-fight with some little bitches over a tea party. Brett is a hoss, and that was a well-deserved home run.

The pine tar helps to keep him from shitting his pants!!

[rangask8er]

@mongoose704 it isnt against the usage of it it is just the fact that u cannot have it past 18 incet onto the handle of the bat or something

@Hunkola Gas would soak into your skin....And directly to your liver! Are You old? Or just a dumbfuck? tough guys die first!
