There weren't other players I could say that about that were not on the Yankees.

First inning.

Second, third, fourth.

The game didn't stand out for any reason.

Seventh inning.

Eighth inning.

All right, here we are on the top of the ninth inning.

The Yanks are up 4-3.

And it's a very close game with the Royals at bat with two outs and a runner on base.

You know, you figured the Yanks are going to win this game.

You have the Yankee closer, Goose Gossage, who basically was lights out once they brought him in.

But a player from Kansas City gets on base, and none other than my favorite player in baseball, George Brett, the crowd's on its feet.

George Brett is known as the Yankee Killer, but also well-known as the Hemorrhoid Guy.

Jeering at George Brett causes a hemorrhoidal issue.

I got a big conflict going on in my head.

You know, I'm rooting for this guy, George Brett, to get the big hit.

But at the same time, I want to see my favorite team win the game.

So George Brett's at bat, and Goose Gossage leans in and delivers a pitch.

I could tell just from the sound of the ball hitting the bat, this thing was going to leave the ballpark.

There was a very quick moment of silence.
