Not only was the Commissioner's office not "usually" involved in protests; in the Brett protest, it wasn't even specifically involved. The protest was decided by the President of the American League, Lee MacPhail. The next year, all the rules that the Brinkman crew used to decide correctly the incident simply disappeared without comment from the book.

Carl:
Thank you for clarifying that point. I had forgotten, until you posted your reminder, that it was indeed AL President Lee McPhail and not the Commissioner who actually made the ruling on the George Brett pine tar incident.
Cheers,
