Quirks of the Royals

Royals made a list of Rules and Quirks for a single batter batting consecutively.  How is this even possible?  Oooooh Buddy Bell was involved.  Right
8. Batting out of turn… David DeJesus achieved the rare feat of batting both first and second in the first inning… Wow thats something to be known for.

In at number 10 on the list is the only reliable redeeming factor for KC.  George Brett.  After all he did die for your sins.  His pine tar incident made the list.  No one can forget him flying out of the dugout with enough rage and fury to scare the devil away.
10. The Yankees bending the rule book on pine tar…Well, the bat that Brett used apparently contained more than 18 inches of pine tar on it—the maximum allowed under the laws of the game. Yup, the umpire over turned the home run and the Yanks went on to win.  After the game the Royals protested and it was eventually overturned by Major League Baseball. However, it was too late to help the Royals.
