      @@jamessmith-bw4nb yep. I’m a life long Giants fan going back to the early 80’s as a kid. He was the best all around player in baseball when he weighed a buck 80. He won 3 NL MVPs before he started juicing. He was a prick too which cemented his legacy I think more than anything. If he had treated people right he’d have got more leeway with the press. Mike Piazza for example admitted juicing, is in the hall of fame, and is beloved cuz he admitted to it and was a good dude.

    What advantage does pine tar add in hitting? Better gripping?

    • @KnickKnack07
      @KnickKnack07 3 роки тому

      Yup. That's it. It was never considered cheating actually. It was always just a money saving rule. It wasn't like today where every time a ball touches the ground, it is taken out of play. Balls would continue to be used until they were so scuffed up that it would be dangerous to pitch them. They just didn't want bats that had pine tar so far up that they would hit the pitch on a part of the bat with pine tar and get the ball sticky and make it have to be tossed out.
      The NCAA obviously had less money than MLB so they were still wanting to save money. But it was stupid to call the batter out. MLB never had that rule, even though umpires seemed to think they did. The penalty in MLB was simply that the batter was not allowed to use that bat unless he cleaned it up before his next at bat. (They were actually given the bat back.) But all at bats prior stood. Nobody was called out. That is why the Royals won their appeal when he was called out. The umpires had the penalty wrong.

    • @HoboJR4
      @HoboJR4 7 років тому +3

      hitting a baseball with pine tar would not make a difference with the hit the reason that rule exist is made because pine tar is not allowed to get on the baseball so that is why the rule is made, pine tar on the barrel would actually probably make the ball fly less far because of the surface becoming more rough making it not fly through the air less smoothly and increase drag.

By the 80s, it was really an outdated rule that just was never thought about. While MLB didn't go through as many balls as it does now, they were starting to take more balls out of play. (However, players were still often fined a small amount by their team if they threw a ball into the stands even into the early 80s.) Like a lot of outdated rules (or laws) it takes a case of it being applied and fought to make the change for good. this is what happened with George Brett. It took the publicity from that incident for MLB to step back and say "I think we can spare the extra $10 or so to buy a couple extra balls per game if pine tar gets on it. Time to get rid of that rule."
      The NCAA obviously had less money than MLB so they were still wanting to save money into the 80s, even after MLB decided they no longer needed that rule since they were using more baseballs.

      He had a 22 year career and averaged 135 games per season. No one ever factors in the fact he’s one of very few players that was consistently that good every season of his career and only missed ONE full season due to injury. He played in over 100 games every season of his career except 2005 when he was out with a knee injury. In 1999 in his next lowest games in a season he played 102 games and still had 34 homers and 20 doubles. There were only 4 seasons that he hit less than 25 HR one of those he hit 24 and he was consistent every year like a machine. Steroid, or the HGH that he used that again was legal in the MLB st the time, if anything later in his career helped him stay on the field but no amount of any foreign substance made him the hitter he was! Add in the fact that he had more career walks than hits , avg 116 BB per year and 31 IBB per year, and it makes the HR numbers even more incredible bc it means he rarely saw a good pitch but when he did he DID NOT miss! Steroids can’t make you that great at hitting! Most of the guys in the 500 HR club would have had close to what bonds has if they that long of a career or always been able to play!

      Why would they use the same rulebook? And MLB didn't have that rule either. You could call for a bat check any time. And by then, MLB got rid of their pine tar rule ENTIRELY. Plus, even when the George Brett incident happened, it was never supposed to result in the batter being called out. THAT is why the Royals won their appeal and the home run ended up being reinstated. Not because the Yankees called for the check too late.

    Is there any actual advantage to having more than 18 inches of your bat covered in pine tar? Like I guess it might help for bunting but I don't think guys are super worried about losing their grip during a bunt.

    • @KnickKnack07
      @KnickKnack07 3 роки тому

      No advantage. It was never considered cheating actually. It was always just a money saving rule. It wasn't like today where every time a ball touches the ground, it is taken out of play. Balls would continue to be used until they were so scuffed up that it would be dangerous to pitch them. They just didn't want bats that had pine tar so far up that they would hit the pitch on a part of the bat with pine tar and get the ball sticky and make it have to be tossed out. By the 80s, it was really an outdated rule that just was never thought about. While MLB didn't go through as many balls as it does now, they were starting to take more balls out of play. (However, players were still often fined a small amount by their team if they threw a ball into the stands even into the early 80s.) Like a lot of outdated rules (or laws) it takes a case of it being applied and fought to make the change for good. this is what happened with George Brett. It took the publicity from that incident for MLB to step back and say "I think we can spare the extra $10 or so to buy a couple extra balls per game if pine tar gets on it. Time to get rid of that rule."
      The NCAA obviously had less money than MLB so they were still wanting to save money into the 80s, even after MLB decided they no longer needed that rule since they were using more baseballs. But it was stupid for the NCAA rule to call the batter out. MLB never had that rule, even though umpires seemed to think they did. The penalty in MLB was simply that the batter was not allowed to use that bat unless he cleaned it up before his next at bat. (They were actually given the bat back.) But all at bats prior stood. Nobody was called out. That is why the Royals won their appeal when he was called out. The umpires had the penalty wrong.

      Also, Bonds was taking HGH (human growth hormone) during his big home run years in MLB. He actually discovered that HGH reverses the normal degeneration of the human eye; as a result, at age 36 he could see the ball through eyes that were just like an 18 year old's. I'm pretty sure that helped him out a bit. In addition, getting some real expensive body armor, wearing it on your right elbow, and then standing 4 inches from the plate made it impossible to get him out with a strike on the outside corner. And he got away with that because "He's Barry Bonds."

      shred5 Yeah, it's beyond debate that he'd still be one of the best hitters ever without the steroids. Game of Shadows documented that he didn't start hitting the juice until the McGwire/Sosa race in 1998. By that time, he was a 3-time MVP, 7-time Gold Glove, and 7-time Silver Slugger, and typically leading the majors in walks and OBP. He was also routinely hitting over 30 HRs and averaging over 30 SBs a year *before* 1998, so your argument that we should take away HRs doesn't even hold water. Greatest hitter of all time? That's debatable. But it's simply not debatable that he would have still been a Hall of Famer without the steroids because he was a perennial MVP candidate and a dominant player before he started juicing--and if you talk to any professional baseball writer who's reported on the game the last 25 years, they'll tell you the same thing.

      Without the roids and no home run records, there's little argument to consider him one of the best hitters of all time though unless we're making a rather large list, that is beyond debate.

Then, in 2004 he hit .370 with 46 home runs-- While everybody was pitching around him! In 2002, he hit .362 with 45 home runs. I imagine that, if he hadn't been swinging for power, he would have hit well over .500 those years. With strength comes coordination, especially when it comes to controlling a bat.

      MetsGiants...that rule was taken out of baseball LONG before 1995. That is why the George Brett protest was upheld. Because the rule didn't even exist THEN. And even in the 70s, before the rule was taken off the books, it was NEVER supposed to result in an out for the batter. The call was simply to remove the bat from play, and allow the game to continue, with all hits from that batter still valid. In fact, the bat was given back to the batter and if he wanted to keep using it, he could quickly scrape the pine tar off the part that was beyond 18 inches.

      Nothing. It just gives you a better grip. This was an absolutely stupid rule by the NCAA considering they implemented it shorter after the MLB GOT RID OF THEIR rule.
      It was never considered cheating or an advantage. MLB had it in their rulebook solely as a money saving thing. Until the 80s, baseballs were rarely taken out of play unless they were clearly damaged. And up until the late 70s and maybe even early 80s, players were fined for throwing a ball into the stands. The rule was to prevent the ball from hitting a part of the bat that had pine tar on it, causing it to have to be taken out of play. Nothing else. In MLB, the George Brett umpires simply got the rule wrong. The penalty for too much pine tar was simply that you were not allowed to use the bat anymore. Nothing about your previous at bats changed. And you even got to keep the bat if you wanted to take it back to the dugout and wipe off the excess pine tar. This is why the Royals won their appeal and the game had to be replayed from that point, with the home run standing.
      It is just so odd that the NCAA saw that incident and then thought "We should make it illegal and an out if they do it." I'll grant them that NCAA baseball probably WAS still concerned about costs of baseballs into the 80s. So I could see them implementing a pine tar rule. But not to make it an out.

      If you think Griffey is PED clean, you're crazy. Once he quit the PEDs, he was never healthy again. Those great Seattle years, he was HGHin'. Like Bonds, he was never caught, neither flunked a test. Facts

    My only home run in little league was taken away because they said I used a illegal warm up bat. It was a iron bar that was real heavy so the bat was like a feather to me when I came up to bat and I hit a homerun down the left field line well over the fence and they took the home run away and called me out. According to the rules they did not want kids swinging a heavy bat like that in warm up because they said it could cause damage to your ligaments and muscles that was the reason given when they said the warm up bat was illegal. I think it was bullshit because I used a regular bat to hit the home run also if they knew I was using a illegal warm up bat why did they wait until I hit a home run to protest they could have stopped me from using it before I even came up to the plate. If they were so worried about me hurting myself they would have stopped me as soon as they saw what I was doing so it really was more of the other team cheating and taking a home run away from a 11 year old kid. This was back in 1970 so I have no ideal if they still have the same rule my guess is that they probably still have the rule but they probably would just warn you and not take a home run away.

    as an umpire, I fail to see the advantage of pine tar 18 inches up the bat, when you only grip the bottom 8 or 10 inches. Learn and follow the rules.

    • @oscarwinner2034

    • @KnickKnack07

      It isn't that people were intentionally putting pin tar all the way up their bat. It was just that bats (especially aluminum ones) were used for a LOT longer back then. They weren't made of the same material that they use in movies for the chairs that get smashed over people's hears or backs are. Like today's bats are. So good batters who rarely swung at pitches so far inside that they would hit the handle of the bat would often have the same bat for weeks. Maybe even months. Players had 10 bats for an entire season. So in the course course of dozens of games, the pine tar would go from the handle of the bat, to the hands/gloves of the batter, and then back to the bat whenever the batter touched the bat all.
      Look at some players' batting helmets. Absolutely covered in pine tar. It isn't as if they are putting the pine tar on their helmets directly.

    What a stupid rule, if you allow pinetar at all; then where it is should not matter. He got screwed out of a home run. Of course, with 7 MVP's, 762 career HR's, 73 HR's in a season, 12 Silver Sluggers, 8 Gold Gloves and 14x All Star; it clearly didn't hold his career back.
