What's the craziest thing a "pro" athlete has ever done during play?

basesAREloaded · Jun 1, 2003

Didn't someone run the bases backwards after a homer?

Some dugout tantrums are funny, but I mean crazy.

Any a' you old sailors remember any?

STEVE LYONS DROPPING HIS PANTS AT FIRST BASE DURING THE WHITE SOX GAME, HAS TO RANK RIGHT UP THERE....

How about Jim Pearsall running the bases the wrong way, celebrating his 100th Home Run.......

Journeyman · Jun 1, 2003

LMAO . baseareloaded , I didn`t realize you mentioned this in your post...Yes< among other things Pearsall did , he ran the bases the wrong way on his 100th Homer

Dennis Rodman doing something.

basesAREloaded · Jun 1, 2003

@ Journeyman.

Did they not call him out for doing it? I seem to faintly remember hearing about it. Faintly though.

Journeyman · Jun 1, 2003

I really don`t know for sure but < i saw a picture on the net last week about it...He was running up the third baseline in the photo.... I would assume he would have to have been called out....Maybe his team was well ahead or behind in the game...

bucsfan67 · Jun 1, 2003

WELL IN TURN THEN, WOULDNT HE LOSE HIS 100TH HOME RUN IF HE WAS CALLED OUT?

Journeyman · Jun 1, 2003

I may have to look this up....

Was there and no one could believe it.

I am kinda partial though to the good deep finger up the nose close-up shots on the big screen...any girl you happen to be with while watching such really gets grossed out...and by the time I get through with a bombardment of comments, such as, "that's where that guy must be keepin' his stickem" etc....where both having fun laughing.

Boy, "sometimes the camera crew can really "pick" their shots."

Tree Rollins bite Danny Ainge's finger in a melee during a playoff game. Ainge had to get rabies or tetanous shot after the game!

The AAA right fielder that ran full speed through a wall. (Game played in Portland Oregon)

Or the catcher overthrowing the potatoe using the hidden ball trick. Unbelievable.

Journeyman · Jun 1, 2003

BY THE WAY...that outfielder was none other than Tori Hunter

GrandMasterB · Jun 1, 2003

J-man, I know that wasn't Torii Hunter. I'm pretty sure the guy's name was Rodney McRae.

Hairybum · Jun 2, 2003

Maybe not the craziest but Trot Nixon's blunder, throwing the fly ball to the fan with one out, was hilarious. The craziest thing I have ever seen would have to be Hockey fights, A video you could rent. Watching Dave Shultz and Clarke Gillies on ice fighting. We're talking bare knuckle KO's, they would liteally annihilate their opponents. Like 6-7 huge overhand rights into the face of the other guy. The Ultimate FC has nothing on these for entertainment value. The craziest thing I've ever encountered in sports.

Why did Lyons drop his drawers?

Journey mon, searched and couldn't find him being called out. So I guess he's saaaaaafe at the plate. Like to see footage of that. Imagine the home plate ump looking at the guy running in from first.

He slid into first base...got up and to remove the dirt from his pants he merely dropped them to his knees...before realizing what he'd done...the whole crowd was in disbelief laughter.

HacheMan · Jun 3, 2003

Not sure if this counts as something he "did".....But I always remember the video of Steve Young when he played for the Bucs , got sacked or tackled, and got up with a complete mask~full of snow......
