The Yankees had a rivalry with at least three teams that I can remember during this time. The Royals, The Red Sox of course, and The Dodgers. They beat all three of them in dramatic fashion. The Royals in 76 (Chambliss), The Dodgers in 77 (Reggie), and The Red Sox in 78 (Bucky Dent.)
You know, when that happened I thought it was a cheap call. Now, looking back on it, why were there so much pine tar that high up on the bat? I still have not seen a replay of where the ball actually struck the bat. If it didn’t contact the pine tar what difference did it make.
I believe the pine tar rule was there to prevent the tar from getting on the ball if placed too high. It could be assumed that the pitchers were doctoring the ball if regularly scuffed.
Nettles kick was subtle and not very hard. Brett threw a haymaker right hand in response. Ridiculous that Brett wasn't tossed for starting that brawl. Anyone else, and they're gone. Umps were gutless
The pine tar complaint was Nettles' idea. They were holding it for the right time. Nettles and Brett should have made a beer commercial together.

The Dodgers/Reds rivalry was just as good, if not better during this time.
Reds-Pirates. Reds-Phillies to a lesser degree.
I wasn’t alive but I wish I could’ve seen it.
Jeezus .... Brett and RFK Jr. could be twins.
He and Greg nettles are friends today.

you'd let someone kick you?
If there’s anyone who’s gutless it’s nettles.
Nettles was a dirty player. Ruined a season for Bill Lee when he was a red Sock
Bill Lee fkd around and found out.
Lee wasn't an angel.
no he was not......but he was an Expo for a spell@@michaelschaefer1904
