![]() ![]() First, one home run was hit off of a foul pole. In the same game, back in July 2012, so many odds were defied, that it is hard to calculate. Back-To-Back Home Runs Off The Same Foul Pole The fan who was hit with the chair got a broken nose and an out-of-court settlement out of the deal.ĥ. The unrest between the fans and the players was so bad, that the umpires were considering calling the game as a forfeit, and just clearing out the whole stadium to avoid any further trouble. The heckling from the A’s fans got so bad, that a Ranger pitcher completely lost his temper and went on the attack, throwing a metal folding chair into the stands, and launching himself at the fans. The Texas Rangers were playing against the Oakland A’s, whose fans are known for being extremely belligerent. In this case, however, things took a turn for the bizarre. ![]() Normally, it’s the fans that start a riot with each other, or with the players. But in the video below you can see it in slow motion, as the bird flies across the plate and then turns into a shower of feathers:Ħ. If you see it right in front of you it’s astounding the ball releases, and then a puff of feathers fills the air. Legendary player Randy Johnson was pitching a preseason game, and what had to have been the unluckiest bird in history decided to get right in front of a pitch. While he may have lost his job as a baseball player, he still regularly gets mail from fans of his admittedly-clever potato gag. He ruled the runner safe at home, and Bresnahan was fired from the team shortly after. The umpire quickly figured out what happened, and was not at all pleased. The runner came home, and was tagged out with the real ball that Bresnahan still had in his hand. Then the next day he put his plan into play there was a runner on third, and he threw the fake ball into the outfield. He stayed up all night, slowly and intricately carving a potato into a perfect replica of a baseball. Potato Baseballĭave Bresnahan played for a minor league team, and was a bit of a practical joker. In fact, they were simply observing an age-old tradition of not speaking to a pitcher during a no-hit bid, so as not to break the pitcher’s concentration. In fact, Ellis was so high, he didn’t even know he was pitching a no-hitter, and interpreted his teammates’ silence as disapproval for his druggie life. While lit up himself.Įllis became the first (and, as far as we know, only) pitcher to pull off a no-hitter while tripping the light fantastic. Despite needing to catch an afternoon flight, and running late, Ellis made it to the stadium, and proceeded to light up the opposition. Suddenly, his girlfriend read in the newspaper that Ellis was supposed to be pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates that day. ![]() A No-Hitter Pitched While On LSDĭock Ellis was having a normal day, hanging out with a friend of his and doing all the drugs, especially LSD. The bugs ended up swinging the game for the Indians, who ended up winning their series against the Yankees. Though they’re generally harmless, the sheer swarm seriously tweaked Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain to the point that he could not concentrate. In a playoff game between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians, thousands of midges came out of the lake in huge numbers and affected the course of the game. The Cleveland Indians baseball stadium, and much of Cleveland itself, is built by a lake, which often leads to some strange problems. ![]()
