I sat in the Royals radio booth at old Metropolitan Stadium in 1978 for a game vs my Twinks (my step-moms sister had shagged one of their announcers).
What a lineup: Brett, Amos Otis, Hal MacRae, Frank White, etc, and man, could they pitch.
Brett hit for average and had power, too.
When he took Gossage deep and the ump overturned it, that was a moment I'll never forget.
I knew he'd had issues with hemmorhoids, and maybe that's loosened his sphincter?
I didn't need to know about all the times he's shit his pants.
