Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest flip-outs in baseball history. Lou Piniella has had some special moments. And no one can forget Phil Wellman, Double A manage in the Braves' organization, get so creative he’s now a candidate to choreograph the next Chris Brown video. But the top award must go to George Brett. On this day back in 1983, Brett mixed a deadly concoction of pine tar and hickory and added a bit too much power than umpire Tim McClelland cared to stand for. The result: the best sports tirade ever! Judge for yourself here.
But at least Brett has been able to look back on the incident lightly. Now supporting his post-baseball income as a spokesman for Ben Gay, Brett quipped that had the Pine Tar Incident never happened “then I'd only be known for hemorrhoids.” Agreed, George.
Oh and don’t forget to check out those uniforms too. Jesus.
