[net.sport.baseball] The pine tar classic - final notes

tommyo@ihuxw.UUCP (08/19/83)

Well, it`s finally over.  The Royals win the first ever
Pine Tar Classic.  A whole 1300 people showed up to
see 2/3rds of an inning of baseball.  But how about
that Billy Martin?  He tried to get Brett called out
for not touching second base.  Ingenious idea.  But
how about that Lee MacPhail anticipating Billy and
getting an affidavit from the umpires to say that
Brett did in fact touch all the bases?  Smart move, big guy.

The thing that really got me is how those dumb lawsuits could
move so quickly through the courts, when your typical case
takes at least a month to be initially heard.  But that`s
our legal system for you.
