George Brett was an affable but highly competitive star for the Kansas City Royals — and one of his signature moments came in the midst of a legendary temper tantrum after he hit a home run.
In what became known as the “Pine Tar Incident,” Brett hit a clutch home run against the Yankees, only to have it called back because he had too much pine tar on his bat. A livid Brett exploded out of the dugout in a blind rage, turning beet red and needing to be restrained by the umpires.
