I've sat behind many a smoker in Shea Stadium back in those days. I sure was glad when they did away with that.

This was such a classic scene at Shea. Lasorda's low "Come on Harry" as Howell gets ejected. Wendelstedt bringing the glove to Giamatti in the stands is unprecedented - don't think anything like that has happened before - please correct me if I'm wrong. Giamatti's "Yep" when he feels and confirms the substance. Maz coming over to listen to what the BIG BOSSES say - I would have done the same thing. Love the classic umps I grew up watching in the 80's - McSherry, West, Wendelstedt, Rennert - what a crew of classic "blue". Great upload.

This is when baseball was still baseball. Giamatti using a hardline telephone, which was seemingly in arms grasp of his seat while one of his delegates is taking a drag from a cigarette. Lasorda's expression of disappointment after realizing he can't do anything is powerful when you consider how much Lasorda always had his players backs. He could see Howell fucked up.

It wasn't in regard to a foreign substance, but check out a replay of Game 4 of the 1980 NLCS (Phillies at Astros), when they had a 15-20 minute delay to determine whether a fluky infield play (in the 4th inning, I think) was a triple play or not. The umpires consulted directly with NL president Chub Feeney, who was at the game, sitting near home plate.

Bart Giamatti was the last commissioner who really represented the fan. He was great. The game never was the same after we lost him. He worked for US, as fans, as opposed to working for the owners and the unions.

You can also make the argument that Giamatti's immediate successor, Fay Vincent also seemed like once of the last commissioners who really worked and operated the best interests of baseball first and foremost instead of essentially being a mouthpiece for the owners like maybe, Bud Selig and later Rob Manfred became.

"Maybe he grabbed the other guy's glove" and "Maybe he accidentally picked up someone else's bat" are the baseball equivalents of "I swear to God my Twitter account was hacked."

Wendelstedt was the man and was respected by everyone in baseball.

I went to school and played little league ball with Jay Howell in our home town of Miami, FL. all the way up until high school. Jay was bigger and stronger than the other kids and he was an excellent pitcher. He was a little wild at times which made batters even more nervous. I hated batting against him! I think I got a couple of singles off of him over the course of several years. I played catcher for him in one Khoury league all-star game and my left hand hurt for a week. Jay was one of the top pitchers in Miami during the 70's and Chris Lynch and Ed Lynch grew up playing ball with us too.

I like daytime playoff games.

One of the umpires had to slap his hand away. The crowd even starts chanting: "Cheat, cheat, cheat..." According to the commentator, that had never happened in the postseason. And he also said that it would have granted suspension had it happened during the REGULAR season. Lets vacate that title. Why not?

Johnson tried pulling that same stunt on A-Rod. Griffey Jr gave A-Rod his bat and......BOOM HR!!!

This was ridiculous. It's SO obvious Howell was trying to give his glove a darker tint so it looked nicer. Then the game started and he didn't have time to work the pine tar into his glove so it just kinda laid there. He was really hoping to get taken out of the game early so he could finish beautifying his mitt. Such a shame the umpires couldn't see that.

ogrebattle22763 honestly...I’m not even a Mets fan and I have to agree: that Dodger team was the worst bunch of fucks that I ever saw win the WS. The fact that they beat you guys and then got to Eckersley and the A’s is just mind boggling. Totally agree and this is coming from a Yankee diehard

odd, I wonder why I don't remember this. I was a serious dodgers fan in the late 80's and 90's. I remember lots of stuff from the '88 season, especially from the NLCS and WS, but somehow I have no recollection of this. Weird.

I remember this 😁 knucklehead

Howell was suspended for 3 days, reduced on appeal to 2 days

Allegedly, Tommy Lasorda concocted a story about him knowing a chemist who told him that pine-tar was really just a liquified version of rosin.

Is it better with only one commissioner in MLB or was it better with two league presidents when the leagues were split up before 2000 ?

im convinced jesse orosco tipped off his old teamates on the mets about howell. orosco never wanted to be traded away from the mets he hated being a dodger hated lasorda and howell was his main competition for playing time. the 86 mets were a very tight group so i def think jesse said screw the dodgers and lasorda and gave his old mates this info

Thanks for sharing. My attention span got distracted by the comments so I skipped to the guy smoking while Giamatti ( no pun ) fielded the call... The Mets found a way to lose this series. The Dodgers seemed to have the way paved for them, imo...this was the end for the Mets...they had Gregg Jeffries AND the Straw Man...that Saberhagen trade...

Hello, look at the bill of Howell’s cap. This was apparently hidden in plain sight.

Pine tar in the glove he out for the series

Bobby C yes, but this one wasn't his decision. He clearly wanted no part of it, that's why he deferred to Wendelstedt, the crew chief.

Man, they need to bring back the “AL” and “NL” umpire hats. Or maybe adopt a similar “MLB” hat.

Look at all the pine tar on his cap bill

Dempsey mixing the spit and rosin in his catcher's mitt to show the umps that moisture and rosin create a sticky substance: kind of lends credibility to Max Scherzer who argued the same thing before he got suspended for 10 games.

What always got me about this was why Lasorda waited so long to argue. He literally doesn’t start arguing with Wendlestat until the glove has already been shown to Giamatti

think i can explain why: he's got no one warming up, and when a pitcher gets tossed, you don't get any time to warm up new guy (just your standard 8 pitches, lets go already). so by wasting 2-3 minutes putting up a fight he knows he'll never win, it can buy the guy a bit of time to get loose (and remember, new pitcher is coming in with a full count).

​​@@mfm4205 it was a cold day it would likely take a bit longer to get an arm warm in october than in august...lasorda definitely knew he had to buy as much time as he could without getting thrown out to make sure the new guy was as ready as he could be

Rick Dempsey isn't wearing a catcher's helmet. That so weird.

and pine tar would do what? I mean, what effect, how would a pitcher actually use pine tar to make the ball do what, exactly?

Mike, a foreign substance applied to a ball will make the pitch break much harder. That is the reason for not allowing a pitcher to have a foreign substance anywhere on his person.

Jay Howell also had a tremendous clutch outing in game 4 of the world series when he pitched 2-1/3 shut out innings to save a 1 run game for the Dodgers. They clinched the series the next day behind the great Orel Hershiser. Great job Jay Howell in game 4.
