Let’s remember George Brett and pine tar.

I know it’s late and this isn’t music related, but I just watched SportsCenter and realized that today is the 25th anniversary of George Brett’s “Pine Tar Incident.” I grew up in Kansas City for the first 7 years of my life and still remember going to K-Mart to get autographs from my heroes, George Brett, Frank White and Willie Wilson.

This is one of my earliest baseball memories and one of the reasons I fell in love with the sport. Does any modern professional athlete care this much about a homerun or the outcome of a game? George Brett was one of a kind and one of the best hitters of all time. Three batting titles in three different decades. Wow.
