What third-baseman was at the center of 1983's "Pine Tar Incident" and saw his game-winning home run turned into a game-ending (and losing) out when he was caught using too much pine tar?

It was New York Yankees manager Billy Martin who spotted the massive amount of pine tar on Brett's bat when he approached the plate and, moments later, gave the Kansas City Royals the victory — for a while. So what's with the pine tar? It's used to enhance grip and it's legal, but only if it isn't applied more than 18 inches away from the end of the bat. And now you know.
