Read the Rules 2. I do not "hate" the yankees, I just don't want steinbrenner to win. 3. A yankee fan has little right to uphold and protect the umpires. 4. The decision is consistent with the rules and with past interpretations 5. What would you yankee people think if the situation were reversed? The rules do not provide that a player be called out for excessive use of pinetar PERIOD. The bat shall be removed from the game, that is all there is to it. Is this to simple to comprehend?
