Marky Mark Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 What are some of the wierdest baseball moments that you've witnessed (or seen in replays) before? Whether they're amazing plays or just acts of idiocy on the playing field. I would say for me it would be -Pablo Ozuna throwing out Sean Casey at first from LF -Steve Lyons pulling his pants down at first base -I forgot who it was (maybe Tejada), but a SS was trying to field a ground ball that went into his jersey.

Kyyle23 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Arod slapping the ball out of the first basemans(Youk?) mitt in the playoffs AJ's drop third strike single in the ALCS The Cubs minor leaguer who threw the ball into the stands during the brawl last year Just recently I saw a video of two managers in the minor leagues fighting each other.

Oh yeah, that minor league braves manager had another good one where a HR ball was called foul and he didnt agree, so he went and picked up the 3rd base, put it right where the SS is positioned, and then called the ball foul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Contreras hitting Craig Monroe in the cup with a high forkball a few years ago. A ball in the dirt going into the umpire's front pocket with a runner on 3rd. I believe the runner was Ray Durham?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I saw one that few people did, because it was during an untelevised Spring Training Game. Paul Konerko lost a ground ball in his jersey. I kid you not. Happened in, I think 2007. Maybe 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the stand-up gentleman, Jason Grimsley. Does anyone have the video of the foul ball going into the home plate umpire's pocket? I remember someone posted a video of it some time ago, but I can't find it on youtube. I believe Thomas was batting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base!

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Didn't Ken Harvey for the Royals once go chasing after a foul ball down the right field line and end up falling over the tarp, getting stuck between the tarp and the wall with his fat ass hanging out and legs dangling?

His friends said he wasn't even drunk - he just said he wondered if the net would hold him. Then at some point, he found out. He's lucky it did - clearly it isn't meant for that purpose.

BigEdWalsh Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Opening day 1974, Angels and White Sox. Nolan Ryan vs. Wilbur Wood. Sox lost 8-2. At that point I had been to like 6 home openers in a row. But that was the last one I've ever been to. The game was marred by streakers (all male) and lots of fights in the stands. Some women in the crowd began to disrobe a few times but never got very far. One guy made it into centerfield wearing nothing but sneakers and a Sox helmet and did a hand stand. There was one fight in the left field upper deck right at the railing late in the game. I seriously thought somebody was going to go over and drop to their death. I'm no prude but I was sickened by what went on that day and decided no more openers. Chuck Tanner was managing then he said, "I never saw anything like it. If it goes beyond Opening Day, the average fan couldn't take it." There were no more reports of naked fans for the rest of the season.

BigSqwert Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Ed I thought you'd tell us a story where Reginald "Long Legs" Kowalksi hit one into one of those new horseless carriages. But I do like the story you did provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
