Trivia alert: Billy Martin has often been wrongly credited with starting the whole incident, but it was actually Graig Nettles who brought up the pine tar! Rich Gossage later said, "Graig knew the rule. The ump did his job. Everybody thought it was silly, but it's in the rules."

When American League president Lee MacPhail upheld the protest ruling that George Brett's bat did not violate "the spirit of the rules", Yankees owner George Steinbrenner replied, "I wouldn't want to be Lee MacPhail living in New York!"

Did you know that when the Pine Tar Game was finally resumed, the New York Yankees "voiced" their disapproval by playing pitcher Ron Guidry in centerfield and outfielder Don Mattingly (a lefthander) at second base?

WoW, Steinbrenner talking about "rules" and "breakage of them"!

I remember when that happened ... lol! Was pathetic!

Re: Countdown to MLB 2K8

It was ruled not to be in the spirit of the rule because another section of the rule book stated that for any substance to be illegal it must affect the distance the ball travels and pine tar would provide no such effect no matter how far up the barrel it was placed. I read that in Ron Luciano's book "The Umpire Strikes Back".
