Happy 30th Anniversary

To the Pine Tar Incident!
In an article in the 1984 Fordham Law Review ("In re Brett: The Sticky Problem of Statutory Construction"), Jared Tobin Finkelstein agreed with MacPhail's decision, pointing out that MacPhail had rendered what Aristotle called epieikeia -- favoring natural justice over strict interpretation.
Side note: Brett was part of another of baseball's funniest moments - getting picked off first base immediately after collecting his 3,000th hit. Awesome.
