The news of the GEORGE BRETT PINE TAR BAT
HOMER off Goose Gossage on Sunday, July 24. was
heard everywhere. The Clover Club of Swoyersville held
a trip on that day and many of the local fans made the
trip to see the game. It was split among the fans as to
whether or not Brett deserved the homerun. The
incident was brought to a head this past week when the
president of the American League overruled the
umpires and said that Brett’s homer stands and they
will have to resume the game with the Kansas City
Royals leading 5-4 with two outs in the top of the ninth
inning.
The decision didn’t set well with local Yankee
stalwarts. 0:
