1983
In the continuation of the "Pine Tar Game‚" Hal McRae strikes out for the last KC out and Dan Quisenberry retires the Yankees in order in the bottom of the 9th to preserve the Royals' 5-4 victory. The conclusion takes just 12 minutes (and 16 pitches) and‚ as the only game scheduled at the Stadium‚ is witnessed by a crowd of 1‚245. An odd feature of the game is lefty Don Mattingly playing 2B and pitcher Ron Guidry in CF‚ as the Yanks try to cover all the options.

Can't mention the Pine Tar Game without video, right?

Wait, that's not it. I'm guessing that MLB has that locked away from appearing on youtube...This will have to do for now.
