It's a great story to tell Paul and you do it so well! That Gary Carter said the ball was marked up when catching Scott in the ASG was something I had not heard before.
Thanks Mark, that means a lot coming from an authority like yourself. I found it interesting how Carter kind of led the charge among his teammates, but after Scott's next start, he was basically mum while Wally Backman and Howard Johnson took over the investigating. What better time capsule for the era than Howard Johnson and Mike Scott going back and forth about altering their equipment...

What got me was Carter noting that he asked for a ball to be inspected while batting and it was 'clean'. But he gave Scott up when he was his catcher!
It all makes sense if you place Gary Carter at the center of the universe and work out from there!
