On today’s date in 1983, at Yankee Stadium, George Brett homered off of Goose Gossage in the top of the ninth. Yankee’s manager Billy Martin protested the amount of pine tar Brett had used on his bat. The umpires nullified the homer which allowed the Yankees to win the game. After the Royals protested, the game was replayed, resulting in a Royals win. Brett later quipped that had it not been for The Pine Tar Incident, he would only be known for hemorrhoids.
