Weirdest thing you ever saw at a sporting event

[Brass]

Wait, wait wait! I got it.

At a Springfield Falcons game this year, a guy was dressed up like the old man from the 6 Flags ads. He sat about 6 or 7 rows in front of me and I looked down for a second and saw him in the middle of 2 young boys, with his arms around them. It was kind of....creepy....

It was at a Peoria Rivermen game a few years ago. After the first period, one of the two zambonis broke down right in the middle of the ice. They got the other zamboni to start pushing it out but ice started flying everywhere. Then they got a Chevy pickup they usually use at intermissions to shoot t-shirts, to tow the zamboni off the ice. But they couldn't find a rope strong enough to not break when being towed. Two hours after the end of the first period, they finally get a strong rope and tow it away. But now the ice is ruined and it's 11 PM. The arena finally tells us the game is postponed and would give us a refund and tickets to another game.

It's not that difficult to understand?

At Shea Stadium (and Yankee Stadium), there is a black "hitter's eye" behind centerfield. In between innings, there is a rotating billboard of advertising.

One inning, the batter's eye was stuck on the advertising during one of Pedro's appearances, and the game was delayed until the billboard could be fixed.

During halftime of a Kansas City Wizards soccer game, a participant in a fan shootout celebrated his goal by crawling on the ground and then lifting his leg, pretending to pee like a dog.

At an indoor soccer game in KC, there was a halftime game between area sports teams mascots and promotional mascots. A Twinkie was repeatedly getting slammed, much to the crowd's amusement. The head of the costume finally popped off after a particularly hard hit on the boards. I guess the Twinkie ahd ahd enough, as he disregarded his head on the ground and threw a punch at the offending mascot. A miniature mascot brawl ensued, during which the KC team's mascot took the ball and scored the winning goal.

Manute Bol draining threes.

I bet those shorts are shorter than the ones Iverson wears these days on the court ...

Football: We played a team this year that had a 300 lb guy...Playing Cornerback. Not suprisingly that was the only game we won.

Baseball: The drunkest man alive singing "All Falls Down" by Kanye West at the Braves game. He was two rows behind me, and we were laughing all through the game.

Basketball: The Hawks winning a game.

Hockey: My first hockey game was the one where the Thrashers and Leafs decided to have a Battle Royal, a 9-Minute Rumble. It was great.

[slapshot]

A few years ago I was at a hockey game when a puck flew into the stands (pre-net era).

The puck landed in some empty seats below a man holding a beer. He reached down to pick up the puck, when this fat kid 10-year-old comes running into him and slams into the leg. The kid almost tackled the guy, so he pretended to lose his balance and dumped his beer over the kid's head.

The bluejackets do this thing on the jumbotron where they show couples and then the couples have to kiss. One time they were doing this and they showed a group of three, 1 guy and 2 girls. I guess they thought the girl and guy were gonna kiss, but the two girls started making out. Everyone went crazy. Then another time they were doing the same and after showing a few couples they showed The Detroit Red Wings bench and Shanahan sitting next to Yzerman leaned over and kissed Yzerman on the cheek, everyone went crazy.

Mine involves the kiss-cam too. I was at the Sonics/Kings game in Seattle last month and it gets around to these two younger people and they see themselves and they start getting all embarrassed and the girl goes "He's my brother!" and the camera promptly cuts to the next couple.

Not hilarious or anything, but I laughed for about 10 minutes straight at it.

For me it was the 1997 Midwest League Championship.

The Kane County Cougars led 2-1 in the Championship Series over the Lansing Lugnuts. I went to game four looking to see Kane County win the championship. 20 minutes before the first pitch I was asked if I wanted to be the batboy for the Lugnuts, I jumped at the chance and got to be the batboy as the Lugnuts won to force a game five.

I came back the next day for game five and got to be batboy again for Lansing. Now this is where it got strange. The game featured a 30 minute delay in the middle of the game not for rain, but for a power outage. During the delay both mascots were kicked out of the game for fighting. Not fake fighting, not fake skit, I mean they came to blows behind homeplate and were thrown out of the game.

Then after the final out I got to run on the field and jump on the pile with the Lansing players. Awesome, but I got to tell ya, seeing a giant dinosour and a cougar fight was pretty strange.

TV: On Christmas Eve the Coyotes used to let anyone who dressed up in full Santa get up a free ticket. During a break in the game the cameras were looking around the arena at all the different Santa's. Then they came upon a Santa who was sitting in the first row. After a second or two an opposing player skated by the glass and the guy proceeded to flip off the player and mouth certain words that could be interpreted by even a blind person. The announcers scrabbled and the cameras turned off ASAP. That was funny enough but the announcers then went on for about 5 minutes trying to explain to all of the kids watching that this was not the real Santa. Good stuff if you ask me.

In person: I went to a Padre/Diamondbacks game at Petco Park during my vacation in San Diego. During the first few innings we noticed a few attractive young college girls behind us who obviously had too much to drink. About the 4th inning someone busted out a beach ball which was tossed around for a good 10 minutes as security tried to get a hold of it. Eventually one of the security guards got a hold of it and deflated it. Everyone obviously boo'ed and we heard the girls behind us daring each other to go get it back. So eventually one of the girls says ok and she goes down to the security guard and talks to him for a little bit begging to get it back. It was obvious she wasn?t getting anywhere so one of her friends yelled "Flash Him!"...Without much hesitation the girl lifted her swim suit top up and showed the guy her rather large attributes. The guy with the ball looked to the other security guy standing next to him and he gave him a little nod and handed the girl the ball back which was hit onto the field about 2 minutes later.

I got another one that wasnt bad. Once while working as the gorilla st the Rivercats game i strolled into a luxury box that just happened to have been rented out by Centerfolds (which is a very popular Sacramento strip joint). I walked in to see two of the most beautiful women i have ever seen, completely naked. It was frickin awesome

Forgive me for posting this following the naked babes post.

I was at a Wild game vs. Detroit around Valentine's Day.

This overweight Red Wings fan showed up for the game dress ONLY in tennies, red body paint from head to toe, boxer shorts with hearts on them and a pair of fairy wings.

Of course, the cameras spot this beast and put him on the jumbotron and he holds up a sign that reads "Ladies, I'll be your valentine." 18,000 people all make that "Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww...." noise all at once!

Well, security is now aware of him and his failure to meet the 'dress code' of the arena and pay him a visit to inform him that he has to put a shirt on. Only he didn't bring on with him - in February in Minnesota! So, they make him leave, to a chorus of boos.

We all think he's been kicked out, but...He's back twenty minutes later wearing a red plaid shirt, but just barely, as he didn't button it whatsoever.

Then, he's chosen as "The Nuttiest Fan of the Game" by Fisher Nuts. What they do for this is put you on the scoreboard while they announce you have won a year supply of nuts and your are supposed to act "nutty".

Well, he's lost the shirt for this and doing his nutty dance when he stops, licks his finger and starts to "ertotically" rub his freakin' nipple! And they leave him on the scoreboard while they are still doing thier Fisher Nut commercial as 18,000 people are once more audibly repulsed to no end.

Second funniest was at the NBA All-Star game in Minneapolis. They did a split -screen shot on the scoreboard for a "Separated at Birth" thing. They put up a picture of Gomez from the Aadams Family and then found a fan that looked like Gomez a few seconds later. Then they did Morticia followed by a woman who resembled her a few seconds later.

Then - Uncle Fester. A pause as people chuckled about who they would pick that looked like him. Then the look-alike came up next to him on the screen -

CHARLES BARKLEY! The place just died with laughter at at that one, including Sir Charles.

Then another time they were doing the same and after showing a few couples they showed The Detroit Red Wings bench and Shanahan sitting next to Yzerman leaned over and kissed Yzerman on the cheek, everyone went crazy.

Actually, it was Yzerman and Martin Lapointe. Shanahan was just there laughing.

ya I knew it had to do with one of those two. They were probably winning like 6-0 and needed something to entertain themselves.

They oftyen do the kiss time at Islanders games and once every few times theyll show the opposing team's bench. At two different games theyve shown the Canadiens becnh and both times one of the players have kissed another on the helmet.

Weirdest on TV: This year at Cincinnati when the guy ran out of the stands and grabbed the ball from Brett Favre.

Wierdest in person: 1 of 2.

1. At an Iowa at Wisconsin football game when Wisconsin still had the two-leg goal posts (as different from the slingshot NFL posts), an Iowa player reaching for a pass in the end zone ran full tilt into the post, with his arms and legs going around it. Looked like the coyote in a Roadrunner cartoon.

2. In college, I filled in occasionally doing PA announcements for the Appleton Foxes (now the Wis. Timber Rattlers). We'd listen to the Brewers game in the press box and announce the big league scores. During one game - this was late 70s - the Brewers were playing Baltimore and Earl Weaver was ejected. (One of Weaver's first managing jobs was in Appleton when it was an Orioles farm.) So between innings, I read off the score:

"IN THE FIFTH INNING, IT'S MILWAUKEE 5, BALTIMORE 3..."

(light applause)

"AND EARL WEAVER HAS JUST BEEN EJECTED FROM THE GAME"

(big cheer from the audience, and I look down at the field and the minor league ump is pumping his first in the air like Tiger Woods after a hole in one).

At Nuggets games, they usually show two of the Nuggets dancers to a loud cheer from all the males in the crowd. I've never seen them actually kiss, though.
