Best Of Mike & The Mad Dog: The 2006 Kenny Rogers Pine Tar Scandal

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- In Game 2 of the 2006 World Series, Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers was caught on camera with a foreign substance on his pitching hand. The next day, Oct. 23, Mike and the Mad Dog discussed the potential ramifications, including how Major League Baseball should deal with similar situations.

Later that day, Steve Palermo, MLB's supervisor of umpires during the 2006 World Series, joined Mike Francesa and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo to discuss the controversy surrounding Rogers.

Mike and Chris then reacted to St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa's comments about why he didn't object to the Rogers incident.

The controversy continued for a few days. Here is a compilation of the discussion from Mike and the Mad Dog's show two days after the game:

With no real consequences resulting against Rogers after three days, the pine tar accusations were still a topic of hot discussion on Mike and Chris' show on Oct. 25.

Also on Oct. 25, former Giants and Cubs manager Dusty Baker joined Mike and Chris to discuss the 2006 World Series (of which three games had been played), including the Kenny Rogers controversy.
