I am sure they were all choir boys whose sweat regularly mixed with the tears of angels.

We don't know any differently.  Now the Royals were the beneficiaries of the biggest scandal of the 80s, but it wasn't their doing.

The 1985 World Series.

The blown call at first??  That's hardly a scandal.

It was all the difference in the 1985 World Series.  Cardinals would have 12 World Series titles now instead of a mere 11.  So yeah, kind of a big deal.

Your boys should have taken care of business in game seven. :contract:

No, you are!

Speesh: big deal sure, but not a scandal.  No one cheated.

Plus he owned up to it and even poked fun at himself later.  George Brett was a hell of a guy :)

Don't ever compare Brady to him again, Tim  :glare:

The local Yankees channel loves to replay that game; never gets old seeing Brett charge out of the dugout red-assed.

Backstory was that Billy Martin had noticed the pine tar in a previous game and was just waiting for the opportune moment . . .

Agree though that Brett was standup guy and great competitor, and the pine tar incident was just Billy Martin Jedi mind tricks at work.  Not comparable to this sneaky deflation business.

Yeah they lost bitching rights after that stinker of game 7.
IIRC they had Tudor pitching too.

Please.  You didn't even know what was going on in 1985.  You're not entitled to any Royals glory (unearned as it was) from that year.

Now I myself may not have actually been a Cardinals fan until 1986, but that's beside the point...

I remember the following year on The Baseball Bunch he re-enacted the incident with the San Diego Chicken.  I miss that show.  I also miss This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen :mellow:

edit: OMG found the episode and it was actually Rick Dempsey playing as George Brett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF_9CaV1M24
