25 Years Ago Today....

[spnited]

So I get home this afternoon, and what do you suppose my 5 year old has found to watch on ESPN Classic?

I made some lame excuse as to why I wanted to turn the channel, then had to explain the game to my thoroughly confused wife, who couldn't understand why I wouldn't let him watch a baseball game.

I watched it on ESPN Classic the other day. Still great stuff. I have a picture somewhere of me standing in front of the Brett exhibit (my fave player who never played for my Blue Jays) at the baseball hall (this was way before he was inducted) and as I recall the bat was there.

Didn't they change the rule so you have to call the pine tar thing before the first pitch of an at bat?

I believe they eliminated the rule.

It had nothing to do with the performance of the bat... I believe it was put in the books way back when to keep baseballs clean
