Die hard Yankees fan here, I saw this game on TV never forget it....I was actually scared when I saw G. Brett's reaction, but as much of a Yankee-killer he was , he became my favorite player because of the way he reacted here and also even the way he went at Nettles in '77 ALCS,..... he was a hard nosed gamer & wanted to win, plus he was a great ,clutch player.

[@Ken_Weber_organist]

The pitch Brett crushed is the type of pitch Cody Bellinger always strikes out on. Hitters nowadays don't like high fastballs, rather they like low to belt high, they tend to swing the bat more like a golf club.

I remember watching the infamous incident on TV and thinking, "I'm glad I'm nowhere near Yankee Stadium right now" when I saw George Brett charging out of the dugout....though I was and am a Yankees fan, I'd thought, "Maybe he has a valid argument: how can pine tar affect whether or not a player hits a home run? Isn't it the athlete's power(behind home plate)that makes him hit home runs?" I seem to remember that before the questionable homerun, George hit a rather far foul ball and I thought, "He's thinking homerun." I also have memories of Tim McClellan being the umpire as the bearer of bad news to the players in the form of ejecting from games--as George mentioned, Tim was 6'5'; I guess that was rather convenient in a way!

Yeah, when you watch the video, he's running out there hopping mad and getting in the ump's face, but his arms are waving around, it's not looking like he's going to hit anyone. But it's also the job of the other umps to intercede, like push in between the two to keep him off the plate ump. But grabbing him and holding his arms made it look even worse.

[@jimmyjam26]

I remember the game when he hit 3 homers off of all people Catfish Hunter!!!!! Yankees still won 5 to 3😁😁

[@H.L.-fj6zd]

Then Lee MacPhail intervened, an eventually overruled McClellans’s decision and ordered the game to be resumed from the point after Brett had homered. On Aug. 18, the teams reconvened at Yankee Stadium, and about 1,200 fans watched as Martin symbolically protested by putting pitcher Ron Guidry in center field and moving left-handed first baseman Don Mattingly to second base. Martin then protested the game - before the first pitch to the Royals' Hal McRae - on the grounds that Brett did not touch all the bases during his home run and that the current umpiring crew could not verify this. But umpire Davey Phillips produced an affidavit signed by the July 24 umpires stating that Brett had indeed touched all bases. An irate Martin was quickly ejected from the game for arguing. Yankees reliever George Frazier struck out McRae to end the top of the ninth, and Royals reliever Dan Quisenberry pitched a perfect bottom of the ninth to preserve Kansas City's 5-4 win.
