In the summer of 1983, baseball gave us one of its most unforgettable meltdowns—and it wasn’t over a bad call or a bench-clearing brawl. It was over pine tar. Yes, sticky stuff on a bat. And at the center of it all? Kansas City Royals legend George Brett, whose fiery sprint from the dugout became instant sports lore.

This journey started back in 1986. My dad, who fixed up wrecked cars on the side, bought a damaged red 1982 Datsun 280ZX and fixed it up. I got to drive it around quite a bit and loved the manual transmission and how spunky the engine was. But I really just loved how cool this little red sports car looked on me. Alas, as happened with numerous other cool cars my dad fixed up, he sold it to some lucky person and I never saw it again.
