No. That is incorrect.

You thought wrong. As previously stated by a couple of other posters, the intent of the rule was to keep pine tar from getting on the ball. It had NOTHING to do with any effect that pine tar would have on a batted ball. They didn't want dirty baseballs, and they didn't watch pitchers to gain an advantage by throwing a ball with pine tar on it.

That's why Lee MacPhail upheld the Royals' protest. It was a goofy rule that the Yankees decided to try to take advantage of earlier in the season. They were just waiting for their chance.

One thing I'll never forget is that ****ing idiot Don Fortune laughing about it on that evening's sportscast and saying "Billy Martin is the best manager in baseball". Don Fortune deserved the beatdowns that Fatlock gave him on his radio show several years later.

(Hey, what the hell happened to the Fatlock smiley??? )

Well, I stand corrected. Swore I had heard that on TV way back when tho.

Just goes to prove you can't believe everything you see on TV.

Thanks guys.

Is there a rule about not getting Thai sauce on the ball?

I remember sitting on my couch in Columbia, MO watching when that game happened in 1983. I saw the whole thing go down live. Hard to believe it's been 30 years. Seems like just yesterday.

It was hot as **** here and I was on my way to play a game, listening to the game on 580 WIBW while rolling down I-70 near Bonner Springs.

Brett hits the HR, myself and one of my brothers' friends go crazy. Several minutes later we are dumbfounded, then pissed, then WTF? It was sorta the 5 stages of grief right there in the truck.

I'm surprised they didn't have the two best quotes from Rich Gossage:

"I felt bad for George..... But not too much" and "If he hadn't hit that ball, it would have hit him in the neck".

And it's true. That was rising fastball that was in. Just a tremendous swing.
