Notes & reviews

• Suspend=19830818,,5,4,50 Protest=X
• Willie Wilson injured shoulder diving for pop fly; left in sixth
• suspended,19830818,NYC16,protest $this is George Brett's Pine Tar Home Run; when the Yankees objected to the amount of pine tar on the barrel of the bat, the umpires huddled and HP umpire Tim McClelland measured the bat against the front of HP; he pointed to the Royals bench and ruled Brett out; Brett charged out at McClelland and was restrained; Gaylord Perry tried to take the bat to the Royals clubhouse but was stopped by crew chief Joe Brinkman; the ruling that Brett was out for an illegal bat ended the game; Brett, Perry, Royals manager Dick Howser and Royals coach Rocky Colavito ejected by McClelland; the Royals protested the game and on 7/28 the ruling was reversed by AL President Lee McPhail, who ordered that the game resume from this point; the game was completed on 8/18 (an off-day for both teams), beginning at 6:05 PM; note Don Mattingly at 2B and Ron Guidry in CF upon resumption of the game

• Yankees pitcher George Frazier appealed at 1B and 2B that George Brett had missed the bag; Yankees manager Billy Martin came out to argue that Brett had missed a base but crew chief Dave Phillips produced a notarized letter stating that both runners had touched all the bases and both runs counted
