- Jose Canseco, a ball hit his head and bounced over the wall for a home run.
- Vladmir Gurrreuo, 2002 all star game I believe he threw the bat on accident and it hit the 3rd base coach. the pitcher called time on the mound and went to the bathroom LOL and everyone had to wait for him i was at a buffalo bisons game (Indians farm team) and there were seagulls ever where. my Friend looked up at a bird flying over head and it **** right on his forehead. A drunk billegerant **** hole got hit with a foul ball right in the head. The idiot fell out of his seat and spilt his beer. It was when the Red Sox were playing the Angels at Anaheim. Very funny. A Streaker at a Yankee Game in the early 70's.!!!!! cops AND players running all over the place after him.... TOTALLY NAKED he was too... (and way too skinny).... but they got him and tossed a blanket over him and led him away and everyone in the stands BOOED the COPS!!!!! I still laugh out loud every time I think about that one. The White Sox Bullpen this year.
5 run leads blown, 8 run leads and being nervous that the Bullpen would blow the game. I laughed my azz off!
Oh and Marte becoming some sort of great releaver in Pittsburgh, Marte was the pitcher on the 05 White Sox's bull pen who always blew games.
--I still need his White Sox Jersey, he won a world series game and made an oath before god, if he don't blow this game I will become a fan of his. Barry Bonds acting like he didn't take Steroids! the funniest thing I saw was in Anaheim during a Sunday afternoon game back when the Angels were not that good and there were a lot of empty seats. Anyway, this guy was sitting all by himself in a section and he was talking to him self. He would look to his left and say something, then he would look to his right and say something. He carried on quite a conversation with no one else around. little league coach came charging the ump and the dumb as s tripped and busted his butt right between the grass and home plate the ump through his butt out and we laughed at him all the way to the car yes his team was winning and the game was out of reach for the opposing team and he is banned from coaching now it is funny cause i see him all the time and i just smile I saw Steve Lyons hustling toward first base and dove for it. Afterward he brushed himself off and dropped his pants down around his thighs. Then quickly pull his pants up in complete embarrasment after he realized what he did. When some guy in minor leugue hit the pitcher with the bat. This year at Fenway....A Pats Fan (about 6 rows up) threw a slice of pizza on a Red Sox fan cause he failed to catch a fly ball. The pizza came flying out of nowhere (you should see it in slow motion if you haven't seen it) The Pats fan was tossed out of the game (The joke was he was tossed out of the game not for hitting the other guy, but for wasting a good slice of pizza...considering how much pizza cost at the park)
It made the rounds of internet videos everywhere...it even made Countdown with Keith Olberman and other national news programs. Probably not funny but that would be the unassisted triple play by Greg Hansen of the Washington Senators.
But funny, I guess would be when Frank Howard, of the Senators, stole second base. You probably had to be there to appreciate the total, stunned silence and frozen in place players when 6'7" 290lb Frank Howard took off for second.
The catcher stood and stared. He finally recovered but the 2nd baseman stood completely stunned. The shortstop went over to cover the bag but he bailed when he saw big Frank steaming towards him. If the catcher had thrown no one had the nerve to catch it and tag Frank.
There are so many I've seen on the news like Canseco letting a fly ball hit his head and bounce over for a homerun. Or the Detroit Tiger who dove into first and then stood up and pulled his pants down because he got sand in his undies, forgetting that bhe was standing in front of 20,000 fans and live TV. Or Johnson hitting that bird with a pitch. Or Willie Stargel, realizing he was going to be tagged out by 10' stealing second, stopped and tried to signal time out.
My all time favorite was when John Kruk came to bat against Randy Johnson in the All-Star game. Johnson threw the ball way inside to the left hand hitting Kruk, just over his head. Kruk pulled his left hander batting helmet off, turned it around so the ear protector now covered his left ear, and the bill was down the back of his neck, and he batted right handed.
There's millions of them. jose canseco
home run off the head
jose canseco
got hurt pitching i remeber in like 2004 2 red sox players were running to catch a ball in the out field and they ran in to each other Don Zimmer going after Pedro Martinez... lol when randy johnson killed a dove One of my games... right fielder had the worst day possible... let off a homerun that hit off his head, running in for a foul ball and tripping on the bullpen mound, throwing the ball from right to third only to throw it way too far over the fence, getting attacked by a bird, and then the best one, when rain came in it was only raining in right field. Thank you Joey for keeping a smile the whole time though. I got 2, I guess I can catergorize them:
My own playing days:
When I was on JV in high school, funny moment happened. Bottom 7th (we played 7 innings), runner on 2nd, tie game. My team was on the field. Line Drive up the middle, our center fielder who has a CANNON (I played 3rd, no relevance to the story) for an arm gets the ball right about as the runner is a good third of the way towards home from 3rd, and he fires an absolute bullet. It looked good the entire way and the runner wasn't even close to home. The ball keeps going, and going, and going, and it turns out he threw it no where near home plate. It went OVER the backstop and hit this jumbo cup of soda on top of these bleachers. I mean not only did he come no where close to getting the guy out, but I mean he hit a cup from at least 300 feet away on a fly...that's pinpoint accuracy! It was hilarious. How can you throw it so off target it goes over the backstop!?
In a pro baseball game:
I mean how can you not say that Wellman guy who manages the Braves AA team going bonkers on the field after a bad call? However, if I were to say one I've attended at a stadium, definately Randall Simon hitting the Miller Park hot dog over the head with a bat during the Miller Park racing of the meats. Priceless...and suspension! My funniest memory was at a yankee game in 2006. A girl ran on the feild and ran over trying to touch Jeter. He tried to stay away from her but she wouldn't stop until security finally grabbed her.
Another one is a Detroit Tigers player being thrown out at first from the left feilder. He hit a line drive that he thought was caught by the shortstop but it really wasn't. He was too busy cursing in anger that he didn't realize. When he did he tried to hustle down the line but couldnt make it. Shoot! I not sure who it was -- in Baltimore i think ... Rick Dempsey maybe It technically wasn't during a game, but a rain delay.
He came onto the field in a heavy downpour and acted out the entire "Casey at the Bat" poem -- playing all the parts -- pitcher, batter, ump, etc. The crowd loved it. Very funny. I'd have to say i was in the Bleachers in Dodgers stadium and this guy came in the stands wearing a San Diego Padres uniform and started to cheer.
These Big Mexican guys got up and told him to: Shut Up and that guy sat down so quick and was quiet for the rest of the game. i think he even clapped when the Dodgers scored a run.
In terms of in a game:
One time the Dodgers were losing 8-3 heading into the 9th inning (they were playing against the Houston Astros). Since most of the fans had cleared out- my friend and i went down to the bullpen area where Randy Myers was warming up. Some kids were kind of harassing Randy and the bullpen coach started talking some smack to some of the kids- basically about how they should shut up because they are uneducated and poor, etc.
That really ticked me off because i'm thinking dude for 8-13 year old kids to be at a baseball game is a big deal and a professional ballplayer should be used to heckling.
So my friend and i started chanting Joe Carter's name (since Myers had given up the Walk Off GS in a past year to Joe). We could tell he was getting ticked because you could hear the ball slap the glove harder and harder.
Well when we went into the game the Dodgers had rallied to make it 8-5. Myers gave up a single to Piazza, and then a 3 run shot to Tim Wallach and they won 9-8. And as soon as the Dodgers won- the pitching coach cleared out of the bullpen and some of the kids were yelling at him.
Good old ball-park memories.
Nickster The ball bouncing off Jose Canseco's head and over the wall for a homer!! I'm sure there have been things that were funnier, but I was at last Sunday's Twins game against the Rangers. The Rangers pitcher got his cleats caught in the rubber and stumbled after making the throw. He looked pretty silly.
I know that鈥檚 a pretty weak 鈥渇unny moment鈥?but I haven鈥檛 seen too many funny things at the games I鈥檝e been to.
Edit - Oh, I got a better one. I saw this on TV. Also a Twins game but don't remember who they were playing. It was earlier this year. There was a runner on first. The batter hit the ball, the runner went to 3rd and was held up. The batter rounded second with his head down running to 3rd. He was only a few feet from third when he noticed the other runner was held up. The runner on 3rd, for whatever reason, took off for home and the batter stood at third. The runner got caught halfway between 3rd and home. He was running back to 3rd. The batter, for whatever reason, decided he better try to go back to second so the runner can get to 3rd. The runner was tagged out before making it back to 3rd, as well as the batter being tagged out at second. That double play ended the inning. It could have been 2nd & 3rd with only 1 out, but instead it ended the inning. As a Twins fan I loved it. A Red Sox reached over the fence and basically took the ball out of Garret Anderson's glove in foul territory. He spilt his beer on himself and got a slice of pizza thrown at him by another fan.
