    As a lifelong Royals fan, this HR is THE single greatest memory I have of the Royals, when I was 12 years old...to FINALLY slay the Yankee dragon....I really don't remember much about the 1980 WS vs the Phillies, I was so happy to beat the Yankees. Even into the late '80s, early '90s, Royals had one of the highest payrolls in MLB, they were trying to win one for the original owner, Ewing Kaufmann.....then the TV money blew up, and the Royals have only made two post-season appearances since winning the 1985 WS....that Royals-Yankees rivalry was hardcore....George Brett getting into an on-field brawl with Gregg Nettles was classic...Hal MacRae sliding HARD into second to bust up double plays.....good times. First Royals game I ever went to, 1976, was vs the Yankees....at the time, I thought they were booing Lou Piniella, but fans were yelling "LOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!" He won the AL Rookie of the Year with the Royals their first year, but was with the Yankees in '76.

    As a long time NY Yankee fan who lived through the great and intense NY Yankee/KS Royal rivalry of the late 1970's - early 1980's, there was no better situational hitter in the game at that time or since than George Brett. Need a single, he batted as high as .390 during the 1980 season, had a career .305 average. During the prime of his career his OBP was in the high .300's to mid .400's, need an extra base hit or home-run, he could do that as well. The pine-tar incident also involved a Brett home-run. I feared Brett more that any other opponent, because he was not only a great hitter, but he also rose to the occasion, and was such a "Clutch" hitter

In one AB, after Oliver already had hit 4HRs he hit a shot down the rf line that hit the wood on the 3rd level a foot foul. Sparky ran out of the dugout and waved to the pitcher to walk Oliver. 1st time and only time I saw a guy get pitched to and then walked intentionally.

    Unbelievably great hitter, protege of the great Charley Lau, tremendous competitor, played a very difficult position in the field as well, but it is hard not to think that half of George Brett's legend is he was a Yankee killer. You beat the Yankees in big games in Yankee Stadium, you are Cooperstown-bound. Additionally, this home run came at the end of a frustrated three-year run in the ALCS where the Royals finally broke through and avenged Kansas City's little brother status as a de facto farm club to New York going to the days of the A's. This was the pure juice.
