MLB | Foreign Substances 

The legendary Gaylord Perry once said "I've never used any foreign substance. I only used American"

Remind me never to eat pancakes before a baseball game

Gotta love the Yank's announcers, "I dunno why you gotta follow the rules, man, especially when it involves a dirtbag on our team."

Imagine getting caught cheating and then getting mad after 😂

I hate how Smith didn't take his ejection like a man. He gets caught, so he cusses out at the Braves dugout. Hey, ding-dong, how about you don't cheat next time?

I felt bad for the bat boy of the Royals. They were yelling at him to get the bat cause they knew the bat had too much pine tar.

I love how the YES network defends Pineda saying everyone does it yet if it were a Sox player they'd say he was a disgrace to the game

0:06 lady yells “he’s got that pine tar” 😂

I like how most of these instances the winning team pointed it out

I like how this video is sponsored by a bunch of pine tar companies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love how Pineda is using a substance and they're still losing

The ump goes out to the mound and sees orange cheeto dust all over his fingers...."you're outta here!"

ProTip: Give your catcher the pine tar. When he tosses back a pitch, he'll have a lil' bit of the ol' grip grease prepped for you! That'll fool the umps!

"If the umps are watching me close, I rub a little jalapeno in my nose and get it running." ~ Ed Harris, Pitcher, Cleveland Indians

You don’t realize how relevant this has become again

the Yankees announcers are so biased they're trying to justify a cheater

In the Pine Tar game, one thing the announcers got wrong: The rule had nothing to do with pine tar hitting the trademark. The rule was (and is) that you can have pine tar a maximum of 18 inches from the knob of the bat. When they laid the bat across home plate, they were doing so because home plate is 17 inches across, so they could see if the pine tar exceeded that by an inch. The rule still exists--you cannot use a bat with more than 18 inches of pine tar. Now, though, the penalty is only that the batter has to get a new bat. He is not out for using an illegal bat.

Love the spirit fingers at 6:54 🤣

It's so funny hearing the announcers pretending like they don't know about the pine tar😂😂

That one guy's arm was glistening with oily gel...lol!

Baseball bat used by George Brett in the Pine Tar Incident on July 24, 1983 On July 24, 1983, with the Royals playing against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, in the top of the ninth inning with two out, Brett hit a go-ahead two-run homer off of Goose Gossage to put the Royals up 5-4. After the home run, Yankees manager Billy Martin cited to the umpires a rule, stating that any foreign substance on a bat could extend no further than 18 inches from the knob. The umpires measured the amount of pine tar, a legal substance used by hitters to improve their grip, on Brett's bat; the pine tar extended about 24 inches. The home plate umpire, Tim McClelland, signaled Brett out, ending the game as a Yankees win. Brett charged out of the dugout directly toward McClelland, and had to be physically restrained by two umpires and Royals manager Dick Howser. The Royals protested the game, and American League president Lee MacPhail upheld the protest, reasoning that the bat should have been excluded from future use, but the home run should not have been nullified. Amid much controversy, the game was resumed on August 18, 1983, from the point of Brett's home run, and ended with a Royals win.

This video should be called "I DID SOMETHING WRONG INTENTIONALLY.....I SHOULD PLAY THE VICTIM "

8:19 look at the guy on the side. Wtf is he doing?

Under brim of hat, underside of belt, back pocket, in rosin-bag but on your arm? Could you be any more blatant? The neck is a step up but still obvious.

8:18 Is that guy just smacking his ...cup

I remember watching the George brett pine tar incident live when i was a kid. To this day I never saw a man loose his mind like brett did that day. Good stuff.

I’ll never forget when, in 1996, getting a bat removed backfired on Davy Johnson. He was manager of the orioles at the time. They were in Seattle facing the Mariners, my hometown team, and Alex Rodriguez stepped to the plate. In an effort to get back at Lou Pinella for getting one of his pitchers tossed in a previous series, Johnson had the home plate umpire confiscate Rodriguez’s bat, which looked very similar to Griffey’s. A-Rod gave it up without a fuss, grabbed another identical bat and smashed a 3 run homer, much to the dismay of Davy Johnson.

“He’s got pine tar all over him. He’s got it all over his neck right now.” 0:12

The best part is watching the pitcher try to stay nonchalant while while the Umpire walks up

8:18 Hitting the ball against his cup. Lmao

One of the greatest rivalries in MLB history. Deep in enemy territory. Pineda getting caught cheating and walking away like a boss. lol

I love it when cheaters get all defensive and start cussing out the people who just caught them cheating like scumbags. Stop cheating. It's that simple.

I love Jim Joyce's nonchalant ejection of Smith.

I remember seeing the Brett freakout on a Sports Illustrated Bloopers tape from the late 80s. "Such a simple task. Strike a leather bound ball of twine with a sturdy stick of wood."

These announcers would defend the Yankees for murdering the entire opposing team midway through the game. "What you have to realize is -- LOTS of teams kill their opponents!"

Amazing how Smith is cussing and yelling, because he got caught cheating. It doesn't matter if pine tar is less of an issue than a greaseball or spitter. The rule is there, he would presumably know the rule, he decided it didn't apply to him, he got caught. That means that it's on no-one but him. But he decided to throw a temper-tantrum like a whiny kid. Don't want to get thrown out of the game and humiliated? Don't deliberately cheat.

The George Brett one is such an absolute classic

That announcer with the Yankee pitcher who has pine tar on his neck says he doesn't know why it's bad or illeagel to get a better grip. How about a better grip=more spin= more ball movement. How does he not know this, jeez....

6:09 "but c'mon I shaved my arm for this!"

‘Foreign Substances’ *Ichiro jogging out onto the field*

First dude could not have been more obvious 😭😭

pineda had given up 2 runs and already thrown 40 pitches through 1 2/3. the pine tar obviously wasn’t helping much.

8:20 dude beating his cup over and over

5:25 "Will Smith has been ejected" God damn Will Smith, he turned white and started playing baseball. Go back to your movies and such.

Peralta, banging the ball against his cup/crotch @ 8:19. 😂 Wtf, dude? There are better ways to alleviate boredom 🤣

How about everyone gets pine tar and steroids.

I love the walk of shame

0:21 that fan on the right side, pointing the neck that he knew where LOL

We need a mic’d up foreign substances compilation.

you shouldn't need to use a foreign substance if your good enough to play

This was ahead of its time 🤧

I love when they get mad at the umpires for kicking them out. They’re mad they got caught

I would've love to hear what George Brett said, probably was some gibberish, he went ballistic on the umps.

The pine tar home run called out was eventually reversed and counted as a home run and the royals won the game 5 to 3. But, that call should have never happened. I'm from New York City and a die hard Yankee fan. I don't think they should have called that stupid call. Brett (now a hall of famer) didn't deserve that. He should have enjoyed that moment and victory.

Clicks on 27 consecutive "Roid Rage" videos... *every one of them is just 2 minutes of George Brett's "pine tar tantrum."*

You know what makes Me Laugh, the commentators, when it's their team cheating, they rationalise, they state "oh its a cold night, he needed that pine tar for better grip, he wasn't cheating", but when its an opposing Team, oh the commentators are going off the wall, they state, and ive seen this first hand in my life, "he has a foreign substance in his glove", or "he has something in his back pocket, he's cheating", i just laugh at that shit all the time.

Everyone constantly argues pine tar not being an issue since it only increases grip, but that's not the point. The problem with pine tar, in my opinion, is that... It's against the rules. Meaning, both sides aren't able to freely use it. I'm all for allowing it as long as both sides can freely use it -- just like the rosin bag. But hiding its use, getting caught, and then trying to justify it simply doesn't make sense. If it's not allowed, it's not allowed. During the game, while you're using it against the rules is not the time to advocate for it. Get the rule changed and use it legally in the game.

The umps who wait until they can get the manager of the team out to check are the nice ones.

I was at the Sox/Yanks game when he got tossed. Checked his hat, glove, then touched his neck and......ADIOS! Pine Tar Pineda 🤣🤣🤣

Never tell that pitcher a secret - THAT was the best hiding spot you could think of?!🤣🤣🤣🤣

5:12 you know your fucked when all the umpires are looking at you

Perfect timing for this video right now lmao

I love the batman theme during the discussion about the bat.

George Brett was exonerated, got the homer and the Royals won the replayed game.

i mean you shouldnt cheat but if you are dont make it so obvious

First guy didn't get away with it. I suppose you got to be a "Wesley Snipes" black to go unnoticed.

BOOM, pine tar. We've got you.

Pineda really thought he was black enough to hide that pine tar.

The way how Brett got up & ran out @ 13:21 mark.

2:39 Looks like Zach Hample

He almost got away with it on the 1rst clip😂

The fact that the Royals ran away with the bat is HILLARIOUS

When the whole infield tries to block the cameras, you know they know lmao

Crazy seeing Yelich with a 500 OPS. lol

8:22 wtf is the dude on the right doing 😂😂😂

It's so funny how he was using pine tar and there down by 2

George Brett going full nuclear over the bat. Awesome.

Will Smith now pitches for the Braves

funny shit is that mike fiers was “regripping” pine tar on his glove and arm and wasn’t caught acople days ago LOL

By now the big players have moved on to clear colourless substances

The Royals protested the game, and American League president Lee MacPhail upheld the protest, reasoning that the bat should have been excluded from future use, but the home run should not have been nullified. Amid much controversy, the game was resumed on August 18, 1983, from the point of Brett's home run, and ended with a Royals win

Remember it like it was yesterday, great to see it again just to see how f~ing mad George Brett got. 😤🤣

2:50 bruh, Look at the score at the bottom left. I’d be bored as hell in this game. I won’t even care if they have a foreign substance.

Billy Martin waited and waited. He knew...

One of the umpires that ejected Peralta also ejected Joe Niekro in the infamous emery board incident.

I've always found it interesting how the ump pointed at Brett with the bat - something that usually isn't taken kindly in baseball.

That's why when I pitch I put Pine tar on my belt buckle

when you see your team on here *oof duh*

My favorite part of the Pine Tar incident is the fact that the Royals took the bat. Definitely makes them look guilty

Mike Pineda should've put the pine tar behind his ear.

I've seen the Pineda clip a million times and just noticed the fan at 0:21 pointing at his neck.

Look how long it took for the MLB to actually do something about this. They’ve obviously known about it, and since they got exposed they’re trying to save face😓😓

Put pine tar under your bangs and run your hands through your hair

Christian Yelich actually looks like he's putting pine tar all over his bat.

Why don't they hide it better? You don't need a mound of it inside of your glove, on your neck or wherever. Just a tiny little bit. Don't use it but maybe once in an inning. If you're messing with your pocket, adjusting your glove constantly, touching your face or neck constantly, etc...yes, you're going to be called out.

I'm going to name my first born child "Gaylord Perry". Boy or girl, doesn't matter. Later nerds.

Do the coaches usually know when the players are doing this or no?

I remember in high school. I was on the mound and I had a lil Vaseline on my mitt ump came over I told him it, it was jizz and he bought it won the game

The pitcher getting busted is like a little kid and the manager is the parent lmao

crazy will smith gets caught with a substance pitching against the braves, little did he know he’d be the Braves closer at the world series in 2021
