"the pine tar in Brett's case had no effect on the distance the ball could travel. The pine tar had nothing to do with the ball going out of the ballpark. I hated to overrule umpires, but in my opinion we should follow the intent of the rule and the spirit of the rule." One-page typed signed letter on "Leland MacPhail Jr., American League President" letterhead is signed in blue sharpie. This is the first such letter dealing with this iconic game that we have ever seen. NM with customary folds.
