I bet this whole thing would not have happened if it wasn't the Yankees. They were sending tapes to the A.L. office almost on a daily basis to complain about calls against them. I think it was MacPhail's chance to get back at them a bit for being such a pain. Plus MacPhail was a former Yankee employee who split when Steinbrenner bought the team. If this happened in Cleveland I doubt it would have ended the way it did.
