It's illegal to have more than one person in foul grounds. (Keith Hernandez was one who was called on this a couple times, as he often put his left foot in foul territory when covering first base on pick-offs.

I saw something on television a couple months ago that said Josh Hamilton wasted all his money on drugs/alcohol and that he now lives with family who supervise him pretty much every second of every day because they (including Hamilton) can't trust him to stay clean on his own. However, the bottom line was that he was putting up solid number in low-A and that he was clean.Originally Posted by bradmu
Yesterday's game with Kenny Rodgers having "something" in his hand in the first inning makes me wonder - has there been any players or pitchers tossed after finding an illegal substance on them? The only thing I can remember is the famous George Brett pine tar incident, although I don't know details on it, I remember Brett jumping from the dugout and going bezerk.
Jose Guillen ratted out Brendan Donnelly last year, and Frank Robinson had him checked, and he was ejected and there was a whole big thing over it between Robinson and Scioscia.
Julian Tavarez was also ejected and suspended for pine tar on his cap in '04 while pitching for the Cardinals.

It's been a long time ago, so some of the details are a little fuzzy. I saw Pete Rose score from second base on a wild pitch. I believe it was in the 10th inning. Don't see too many walk off wild pitches. If I'm not mistaken, this happened on the opening day of the season in the game that Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth's HR record.
