Transformers vs. Ducks, Protested game resolution.

On 5/20/08, the League Committee met to discuss the Protested game by the Sittin' Ducks. The score sheets and game scenarios were discussed and the Protested was approved.

The Solution!
The Score sheet was simulated using the Injured players spot in the line up as an out. Doing so, it left the game in a 5-5 tie at the end of 6 innings.

On June 16th (Week 4) starting at 6:30 PM, The Transformers and Sittin' Ducks are scheduled to play on Flesher East. Before starting the regularly scheduled games, the teams will start the protested game in a 5-5 tie in the top of the 7th inning. The lineups will remain the same (including the injured player's spot as an out).

The Famous Pine Tar Incident.

On July 24, 1983, the Royals were playing the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. In the top of the ninth inning, Brett came up to bat against Goose Gossage, his old rival. Brett hit a two-run homer to put the Royals up 5-4. After Brett rounded the bases, Yankees manager Billy Martin calmly walked out of the dugout and the umpires used home plate to measure the amount of pine tar, a legal substance used by hitters to improve their grip, on Brett's bat. Martin cited an obscure rule that stated the pine tar on a bat could extend no further than 18 inches. Brett's pine tar extended about 24 inches. Earlier in the season, the Yankees had noted Brett's habit of adding pine tar further than the allowed 18 inches, but waited until a crucial time to point it out to the umpires.

The Royals protested the game, and their protest was upheld by AL president (and former Yankees chief executive) Lee MacPhail, who ruled that the bat was not "altered to improve the distance factor," and that the rules only provided for removal of the bat from the game, and not calling the batter out. The game was continued later that season, starting after Brett's homer.
