What's your favorite baseball play - Page 2

My greatest baseball argument was George Brett at Yankee stadium in the "pine tar" game. That was something everyone saw coming. He had about 5 minutes to steam and prepare for the most ludicrous 'out' call anyone had ever made. Too bad when you see it on replay they only show ten seconds of him charging out o the dugout. He was steamed for a good 10 minutes that delayed the game when it happened. He was tossed but almost had a stroke at home plate. I cut out of school with a few friends to go to the make up "inning" after the call was reversed and they were giving away tickets for free.

I was surprised that Brett did not get suspended for that incident. He obviously bumped the ump several time in his tirade.

I heard a friend of mine refer to the phenomenon of not being able to pee in public as "The Fenway Park Blues"When I asked what he meant,he mentioned the piss troughs.This was 35 years ago so I guess they've refurbished the place but I don't know,I've never been there.

Some great and rare plays happen so fast that they're over before you can get the adrenaline rush.Unassisted triple plays are like that.Only one I saw was a Braves game on TV a few years ago,might have been a Sunday night game and Rafael Furcal turned one.My personal favorite during a game I attended was Koufax striking out the first five Yankees he faced and another ten during the game in the World Series opener in '63.Speaking of Sandy,only two other pitchers ever struck out the side on nine consecutive strikes on two occasions.Nolan Ryan and Lefty Grove(Baseball Almanac).

For a pure rush though inside the park homers,plays at the plate and triples are great.

I don't think Brett would have been suspended even if he took a bat and killed him.

There probably wasn't a jury who'd have convicted him either.

A very long home run
