On August 18, 1983, In the continuation of the “Pine Tar Game”, Hal McRae strikes out for the last Kansas City Royals out and Dan Quisenberry retires the New York Yankees in order in the bottom of the 9th to preserve the Royals’ 5 – 4 victory. The conclusion takes just 12 minutes (and 16 pitches) and, as the only game scheduled at Yankee Stadium, is witnessed by a crowd of 1,245. An odd feature of the game is lefty Don Mattingly playing 2B and pitcher Ron Guidry in CF.
