30th Anniversary of the Pine Tar Game

[OFFNY]

It's the 30th anniversary of the pine tar game.

That was also the same season that the Orioles won the World Series. ) 

Ironically, the Yankees were also involved in the original pine tar game in 1975, when Thurman Munson was called out after hitting an RBI-single. I actually saw that happen live on WPIX-TV 11 up here, and I still remember it.
