40 years ago, come tomorrow, the Kansas City Royals and the Yankees engaged in what was then another chapter in a rivalry that began in the 1976 postseason.
About three weeks after Dave Righetti no-hit the Boston Red Sox, there were more fireworks in the Bronx after the Royals' George Brett had hit what appeared to be a game changing homer with 2 out in the top of the 9th. Billy Martin had other ideas......
What follows is the complete game, including the resumption of the contest nearly a month after the controversy.
In the end, it amounted to some gamesmanship on the part of Martin, but this game of human chess would backfire on Martin.
