I watched it live too. I remembering thinking, "I'm glad I'm not in Yankee Stadium right now" when Brett charged out of the dugout. He'd said in an interview that he didn't remember charging out until someone showed him the video tape. He'd also praised Goose Gossage in this interview as being "one of the all time greats."

isnt the nostalgia of sports an amazing thing.....i've been brought to tears watching stuff on the internet i hadnt seen since i was a child. No memories are as strong as the ones we make when we're small
I agree. I have been a sox fan my whole life and loved Boggs until he went to the Yankees. That being said I will say that Tony Gwynn was a better hitter and probably the best I have ever seen . I am going to be 49 on the 13 of June so I remember growing up with these guys.
Thirty seven years ago today, George Brett most underrated players ever, as a Yankees fan I used to dread every time he came up. Because I knew he would knock it out of the park. In fact one game he hit 3 homeruns in one game at Yankee Stadium. Hell of a ball player
Awesome! Never been there, but a fellow I know in my hometown made a model of old Yankee Stadium (pre-renno look) and brought it with him to The Bronx when he saw the Yankees for the first time there. The office staff was so impressed with it, they offered a trade: his model for two game used Yankee uniform tops. I've seen them and as far as I know, they're still hanging proudly on display in his basement. I'm a Twins fan, but I'm impressed by how the Yankees treated my friend. With respect.
@@howie9751 I read Murcer's book before he died, plus I used to watch the Yankees on WPIX New York for almost every game when I was a kid. Yankee broadcaster Phil Rizzuto used to speak fondly of both Bobby and Kay.
Seeing Bud Black pitch for the Royals here remind me of a game much later on (April 20 1991) when he was pitching for the SF Giants and the catcher was Steve Decker. You heard it right folks. The battery was called Black and Decker.
I saw this game on TV as it happened. Then, by sheer coincidence, I was at Kauffman Stadium, 25 years later. They gave out George Brett pine tar t-shirts. And yes, the Royals were hosting the Yankees!
i dont know why i get such a nostalgic feeling watching old sports videos. i just imagine watching this from a home in new york and being surprised by this whole situation
The Red Sox "Big Poopy".....excuse me.....Big Poppy got more enraged when someone walked by in front of him during an interview. He felt " disrespected".
What's interesting is that George Brett has since contended that the Pine Tar Incident was a blessing in disguise because before that, he was constantly being clowned on for getting hemorrhoids during the 1980 World Series. Still, I do find it a bit ironic that probably the most defining moment in the career of undoubtedly the greatest or most iconic player in Kansas City Royals history is him running out of the dugout at Yankee Stadium like a maniac to confront the umpires.
@@TMC1982Part2 That's a good point. I remember those George Brett hemorrhoid jokes back them. " Don't worry, George will put his all BEHIND him"....and " George will get to the BOTTOM of it".....and all that . LOL....it's still kind of funny.
Watched this game with lifetime friends in Seaside Heights NJ 30 years ago today.I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I will always remember this game and the entire day (7/24/83) like it was yesterday.
Billy played this well someone said? Geezus Brett always tagged Goose. The first pitch Brett barely misses a HR to left. Martin was dumb AF for bringing Goose in.
From what I remember, George Brett's batting average reached around the high 300s. He mentioned in an interview that he was very competitive; I definitinely believe that. I'd been to a couple of Yankees/Royals games during the 1980s. I'd worry that, with one swing of his bat, Brett would prove to be a game-changer.
Forty years ago today, George Brett has one of the most epic and memorable meltdowns in M.L.B. history. The Royals-Yankees matchup is suspended, eventually resumed, and concluded with a 5-4 victory by the Royals.
He should and I would have done so also considering they went through the whole game before it became a issue????? It is illegal by MLB rules to have foreign substance above 18 inches ( the reason they used the plate since it's 17 inches) but it is sad to allow Brett not being called on it sooner?????
With the hindsight we now have, it amuses me to listen to the announcers just after 11:00 debating whether Lou Piniella would make a good manager. Just wait seven years, guys...
IMO I think back then, the athletes played more for the love of the game. When the old Yankee Stadium was torn down, I just didn't have the heart to go to another game. There was no need to tear down the House that Ruth Built.
I was in attendance about 20 rows behind the Royals dugout. I can still remember the HR off Gossage and Brett running towards home plate with his arms flapping from my vantage point. The fans at the game had little to no knowledge of what was happening, since there was not a P.A. announcements about why the HR was not allowed.
You're right. We were also at the game on the third row of the top deck directly behind home plate. We were bewildered as to what was happening. All of a sudden, the PA started playing "New York, New York", and the security guards came onto the field. We could only speculate that it had to do with a corked bat. It wasn't until we turned on the car radio that we found out.
Campy Campaneris, Played for The Old, Kansas City A's and I was At The Game When The Kansas City A's Played The New Kansas City Royals As The Kansas City A's Were Now The Oakland A's And Moving To Oakland and The New Kansas City Royals, Won Their First Game Defeating The New Oakland A's or, Former Kansas City A's!!

I remember Bert Campanaris slung his bat at some pitchers head when he w oakland. Was back in the playoffs or world series way bk after he either got. hbp. or the picture brushed him back or whatever . . I Cant quite recall. Watched it live on tv. My memory fails me to the team or the pitcher he went head hunting for. I try look it up. It was a scene. And I instantly took a different opinion of campanaris.

I have been going to Yankee Stadium all of my life and i got just one autograph....Frank Messer... He was driving by in his car outside the stadium and signed my pennant out the car window....lol
24:53 A real home run. Over the 430 mark, death valley. Dave Winfield hit some of the hardest line drives I've ever seen and I've been watching baseball for 45 years

The best is getting to see him playing second base for the last out of the top of the 9th inning 25 days later. He's still the last left-hander to ever play at second base in the big leagues over 30 years later.
According to the book, "The Baseball Hall of Shame", Billy Martin knew weeks before the game that Brett used too much pine tar, but he waited for the right time to tell the umpires. So after Brett hit the homer, that was when Martin sprung into action, and as the saying goes, "All hell broke loose".
@@jakejp74 I ALWAYS WONDERED THIS ... HE VIOLATED THE RULE AND THEN HIS TEAM TRIED TO STEAL THE EVIDENCE TO FURTHER PROVE HOW GUILTY HE WAS ! SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OVERTURNED !
@@jakejp74 From what I understand, the primary reason the rule about excessive pine tar was put in place had to do with the pine tar causing baseballs to get scuffed up and they therefore had to be taken out of play sooner.

I think that Graig Nettles had already put it in Billy Martin's head the idea that George Brett was using too much pine tar on his bat. Because I think that Nettles was playing in the game while as a member of the Minnesota Twins where Thurman Munson was was called it for doing that.
I was 19 and a Met fan,but I happened to have WPIX on that lazy summer afternoon and really glad I did,got to watch history.It still doesn't feel quite right whenever I see the Mets on ch. 11 these days,that will always be the Yankee channel in my memory,the Mets should be on 9.

Weird analogy. Not even remotely similar as players. As for talent, I will take Brett in a heartbeat. And there were a lot of players above both of them regarding talent.
For us Royals fans we Thank God this happened and Brett even got his home run back. For the most part this ended the KC vs. Yankees rivalry that started back in 76..for the most part we went out on a winning note but those Yankees were almost impossible to beat so many great players!
George Brett was an all-time great , with over 3000 hits. I could only imagine what the guy could have done if he hadn't had so many injuries / health problems. His career stats would have been unreal.
There's no SCORE, PITCH COUNT, INNING or PITCHER'S BOX on the screen!! How do I know what's happening??? Oh, I have to PAY ATTENTION!?? Ohh, how I miss those days!
It's hilarious that there were two protests in this game. The second one actually seems more interesting to me, especially with the umpire pulling out the statement to show to the manager.
What is so amazing is how long these teams essentially stayed together. It's a shame that greed really has destroyed a lot of potential dynasty type teams.
even if the pine tar was too far up on the bat it doesnt effect how the ball hits the bat,, really that sucks... I remember watching this game back in 1983
TECHNICALLY this may have been an infraction of the rules, but come on, a little pine tar isn't responsible for Brett hitting that home run, Martin was a snake.
I watched the whole game on TV. I was 13 then. When George Brett charged out, I was thinking, "I'm glad I'm not in Yankee Stadium right now." It was scary watching him. In a fairly recent interview, George said that he didn't even remember charging out like that until someone showed him the video replay.
I was 13 when I watched the pre-Pine Tar Game on TV. When Goose Gossage came on to pitch to George Brett at the top ot the 9th, I thought as Frank Messer said, "This will be a challenge." When Brett hit the foul ball, I thought, "He's going for it;" then "Uh oh! Uh oh!" I was glad I was about 10 miles from Yankee Stadium when Brett charged out of the dugout yet I'd thought he had a legimate gripe--how did pine tar affect the ball's traveling? Who'd have thought this was baseball history in the making?
Steve Balboni who played 1st base for Yankees went to KC the following year and won World Series in 1985 with them against Stl Cardinals. Balboni was huge in that series.
Bill Presley you're obviously a Yankee fan who lives in his mommy's basement George Brett was the best third baseman of all time better than Brooks Robinson better than Greg Nettles the only other person that compares Mike Schmidt watch and play he was clutch clutch baby clutch your pathetic Yankees fan who have you had a third base aside from graig Nettles George Brett kicks but the Yankees suck in 1968 they had Bobby Cox at 3rd yeah Bobby Cox played third base for the Yankees in 1968 bernanke's haven't had a decent third baseman in their entire history yes nobody compares to George Brett at third base
Now, by Luck and luck alone - no Merit, no Blessing (and that to stand before another old, old, omnipresent friend) : Every time I view one of these historic games, I honor Bill Olsen, a lifelong, baseball overdog[Harper Collins English Dictionary 2014 ed.] fan.
I watched this game cos I loved those KC teams back then and hated the Yankees,loved watching the games between the two on WPIX,loved Scooter.....Brett appealed the call and won so latter in the season they picked up the game from the point of the HR and KC ended up winning the game. Those were the days.....
Lee McPhail did the right thing in overturning the umpire's decision. As if George Brett needed pine tar on the bat to hit. What a stupid rule anyways.
Bill White is a pure professional broadcaster. Very smart baseball man, I miss White, Rizzuto and Messer
I could listen to these guys all day!

I almost thought I recall Brett as a switch hitter . Maybe not. But I could've sworn.

The good ol days of BB. These guys were blue collar players man. It's very rare you see players like this anymore.
Some of the best batters during my childhood to teen years. George Brett, Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn.
Sad you don't see ppl who hit for average anymore...
Gwynn had a 20/15 vision. A lot of people don't know that.

He played 20 years, and his numbers at the end were of a normal late career decline.
Watching Billy manage alone was worth the price of admission.
I need a George Brett rookie card.
Also very weird seeing Mattingly wear #46
An affidavit on the field. For the win!!!
remember that game like yesterday
Tim McClelland's strike calls were a lot quicker in 1983 than they are today.
This would be a subject for a future “JaguarGator7” video.
There's no SCORE, PITCH COUNT, INNING or PITCHER'S BOX on the screen!! How do I know what's happening??? Oh, I have to PAY ATTENTION!?? Ohh, how I miss those days!
It's hilarious that there were two protests in this game. The second one actually seems more interesting to me, especially with the umpire pulling out the statement to show to the manager.
What is so amazing is how long these teams essentially stayed together. It's a shame that greed really has destroyed a lot of potential dynasty type teams.
STILL DOES
even if the pine tar was too far up on the bat it doesnt effect how the ball hits the bat,, really that sucks... I remember watching this game back in 1983
"Was Willie Mays Aikens named after Willie Mays?"
"I'm sure he was.."
TECHNICALLY this may have been an infraction of the rules, but come on, a little pine tar isn't responsible for Brett hitting that home run, Martin was a snake.
Yes. He knew about it from when they played each other a couple of weeks before.
Billy saved this move for the right moment. Boom
"There's the crowd here tonight...all 34 of them" lmao 😂 2:29 00
Who actually came here and watched the entire game?
I watched the whole game on TV. I was 13 then. When George Brett charged out, I was thinking, "I'm glad I'm not in Yankee Stadium right now." It was scary watching him. In a fairly recent interview, George said that he didn't even remember charging out like that until someone showed him the video replay.
I was 13 when I watched the pre-Pine Tar Game on TV. When Goose Gossage came on to pitch to George Brett at the top ot the 9th, I thought as Frank Messer said, "This will be a challenge." When Brett hit the foul ball, I thought, "He's going for it;" then "Uh oh! Uh oh!" I was glad I was about 10 miles from Yankee Stadium when Brett charged out of the dugout yet I'd thought he had a legimate gripe--how did pine tar affect the ball's traveling? Who'd have thought this was baseball history in the making?
Steve Balboni who played 1st base for Yankees went to KC the following year and won World Series in 1985 with them against Stl Cardinals. Balboni was huge in that series.
That's funny, don't remember the Yankees winning a World Series during the 80's.
I kept reading George Brett's lips and he was saying something like "blue sheet"whatever that means.
you know what he really said, Bullwhip LMAO! Not that either?
Try “Bull Bleep” on for size.
Before they were letting players get mic’d during the game.
blue sheet lol
He's asking for a blue sheet of paper upon which he may write an official protest, right?
George Brett is one of my 5 All Time Most Personal Hated MLB Players along with Carlton Fisk, Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Pedro Martinez and Miguel Cabrera.
We have the same taste !
You're gonna pick on poor Miggy? As a Tigers' fan, I resent that.
I think you're a Yankees fan. Cool!
Bill Presley you're obviously a Yankee fan who lives in his mommy's basement George Brett was the best third baseman of all time better than Brooks Robinson better than Greg Nettles the only other person that compares Mike Schmidt watch and play he was clutch clutch baby clutch your pathetic Yankees fan who have you had a third base aside from graig Nettles George Brett kicks but the Yankees suck in 1968 they had Bobby Cox at 3rd yeah Bobby Cox played third base for the Yankees in 1968 bernanke's haven't had a decent third baseman in their entire history yes nobody compares to George Brett at third base
Was at this game. Frank Messer's call is priceless. Uh oh...
wow. I knew that was Hall Mcray coming to bat. Pretty good after being close to 40 years since seeing all these guys. Too funny.
Now, by Luck and luck alone - no Merit, no Blessing (and that to stand before another old, old, omnipresent friend) : Every time I view one of these historic games, I honor Bill Olsen, a lifelong, baseball overdog[Harper Collins English Dictionary 2014 ed.] fan.
So tomorrow it'll be 30 years. Amazing.
I watched this game cos I loved those KC teams back then and hated the Yankees,loved watching the games between the two on WPIX,loved Scooter.....Brett appealed the call and won so latter in the season they picked up the game from the point of the HR and KC ended up winning the game. Those were the days.....
Every newscast across the country, including WBBM channel 2, recapped that game in the sports segment.
Lee McPhail did the right thing in overturning the umpire's decision. As if George Brett needed pine tar on the bat to hit. What a stupid rule anyways.
They play each other on the 40th Anniversary Weekend this year July 21-23
being on the road and traveling all year, gets ya drinking sometimes. LOL
Would've loved to have seen this camera angle for some of the great lefthanders like Carlton, Guidry and Randy Johnson.
