Billy Martin...I think.

 

I remember him or whoever it was said that they had noticed it earlier and was waiting for a perfect opportunity to bring it up...I think he got it.

 

 

First of all, do you have proper credentials to be in this thread?

 

Secondly, Billy Martin, while a popular belief, is incorrect.

 

Hint: If you can picture in your head the video of the umpires standing at home plate discussing the play and then (prior to Brett blowing a fuse) they declare that , yes, he is out. The person who claps and heads to the Yanks dugout is the answer.

That's fine. Take the shot at the old guy. I get it in my basketball league as well.

 

Not Reggie.

Greg something. I remember reading that everyone thought it was Martin but it was an infielder...

I'm just taking a stab at this... Goose Gossage.

You would be correct, wise one.

 

Remember Nettles jumping for joy when they called Brett out? It was him who brought it to the attention of McClelland.

Thanks my friend and the stoic McClelland takes forever to make a strike call, even today.

Hasn't McClelland (and his crew) been a part of every major baseball controversy in the last 20 years?

It certainly seems that way, more than their share.

1948 The Bambino makes his final public appearance at the New York premiere of The Babe Ruth Story. The Sultan of Swat will die three weeks later.

 

1957 Future Hall of Famer Jim Bunning of the Tigers two-hits Yanks, 3-2, but one of the hits is Mickey Mantle's 200th career home run.

 

1962 Braves' hurler Warren Spahn homers off Craig Anderson of the Mets to set the National League record for round trippers hit by a pitcher. His 31st career home run helps Milwaukee to extend New York losing streak to 11 with a 6-1 Milwaukee win.

 

1984 In a 5-4 win over the Pirates, Expo Pete Rose singles for the 3,052nd time tying him Ty Cobb on the all-time career single list.

That number is amazing, that at the time Rose or anyone, could achieve 3,052 singles.

 

Maybe one of MLB records, that won't be broken....unless Ichiro stays healthy.
