Cocaine Is A Helluva Drug

Maybe it wasn’t only pine tar that was on George Brett’s bat. That could be the reason why he wanted to Schultz umpire Tim McClelland. Apparently, Rob Neyer of ESPN thinks that Brett may have dabbled in a bit of cocaine usage:
“In the early 1980s, many baseball players were using cocaine. Some of them got into trouble, and a few of Brett’s Kansas City teammates went to prison. Now, I’m not going to suggest that Brett was using cocaine, but I do know he was considered one of the hardest partiers in the Midwest at that time. Funny thing, though … Brett never got into any trouble. None that made the papers, anyway.”
That is a pretty big statement to say, without actually saying it. Looks like Brett didn’t have Neyer’s Hall of Fame vote.
