Most unusual events you have ever seen at a live sports event.

I could list a book of these but will start with one: September night game at the real Comiskey Park, c. 1982. The scoreboard video camera takes random fan shots at various times during the game. During one half-inning respite, the camera zeroes in on two kids tthat were about 10-12 years old leaning on the wall in the front row of the box seats. Aware that they're now on camera for the whole stadium to see, the two rugrats proceed to insert their finger into their nostril up past the first knuckle!
Gross, but hilarious!

Speaking of the Kiss Cam, I forgot about this one. At another Hawks game, the Red Wings were in town, and the kiss cam zooms into a guy in a Wings jersey and a hot number next to him, she looks up, sees this, and kisses her boyfriend next to her ON THE OTHER SIDE, who is wearing a Hawks jersey! The crowd reaction was a loud cheer, and I just started laughing.

the first set of boobs i saw in real life was at a texas rangers game. i was about 10 and this drunk women got kicked out in the section next to ours. as she was being escorted out of the park she decided to show us her boobs. no bra and all.

pudge was in the bullpen here in the ball park last year and they put him on the kiss cam. he kissed the guy next to him. pretty funny.

I was at a Twins Yankees game in 2001 when Knoblauch had just been moved to LF for NY. I think it was college/school ID night with really really cheap seats.; you could show up the day of a game and get the best seat in the house for a few bucks. There were tons of college guys were drunk out in left field seats and Chuck is probably the most hated former Twin in the franchises history. I saw a lot of stuff being thrown at him, but was too far away to see what it all was. I heard things like coins, batteries, golf balls, hot dogs, etc. They stopped the game twice. Bob Casey, the PA guy scolded the crowd and Tom Kelly, the manager, went out to leftfield to plea with the crowd to behave or the game would be called.

Didn't see this in person, but I thought it would qualify as unusual.

Over dinner last night, my friends and I, who are all big sports fans, were talking and sharing sports stories over dinner. The discussion turned to unusual incidents at sports games, since my friend had been to the Cubs game when Shane Victorino had the beer porn on him. I'd like to hear some of your stories, and I'll add a few of my own.

1) During a Blackhawks game I attended some years ago, the power in the stadium went out and stayed out for some time.

2) During another Hawks game, this time vs. the Predators, Boris Mironov dumped the puck into the Preds zone, so that the Hawks could make a line change. Tomas Vokoun went behind the net, expecting the puck to stay along the glass. The puck insted deflected off the divider on the glass, and went straight into the net for a goal. I just started laughing, and even the announcer sounded confused.

And probably my favorite, I went to the 2006 Crown Royal 400, and had a blast, and during that race Kevin Lepage's car had an engine problem, and caught fire, thus ending the event for him. I've since purchased the driver's side door from that car! I will post a photo.

dfirest1,

Um......I certainly don't want to derail your nice fun post, or cause you any grief......but that door you purchased doesn't match up with the car in the fire. The only reason I'm pointing this out to you is so that you may take it up with whomever you bought it from if they represented this door as "the" one from "the" burning race car in the picture.

Look at the numbers and how they lay out with the white racing stripe coming off the bottom of the car (touches your "1", doesn't come close to the one on the car on fire)......the silver racing stripe and how it touches the top of the number one on the car on fire (and yours, where they don't touch at all).....or the little shield below the "1" (it's to the right of center on the fire car....to the left of center on the door you bought).

At least you have a nice door from a race car of his......just not the driver's side door from the car that burned. Sorry to break it to you, and I hope it doesn't take away any of your excitement about the piece. It shouldn't, your piece is still nice.

My best regards,

Steve

I was a huge mike tyson fan.And i was at the famous "bite" fight of tyson/holyfield ll.Even though being a tyson fan i call it "the payback" fight for all the headbutts holyfield was giving tyson.It was one of the best sporting events i have ever been at.It was the first tyson fight i had ever been at in person and only time i saw him fight in person.And even though i spent alot of money to attend it just to see him get dq'd.I still to this talk about the experence of being there.Man,that whole weekend was wild.But what a mob scene that was after the fight,there were so many fights in the stands.My section was just chaos.And the wildness didnt stop there cause as walking out to the mgm gun fire erupted as i was told by employee of the mgm that some people were trying to rob the mgm,hitting the lobby and then the high roller tables.The blackjack and poker tables were pushed over.People were running all over the place knocking people over.And it was very scary to be in it as things were close to a riot.And then i saw swat come in from the front doors by the lobby and then out threw the back doors of the back room of the front lobby desk and jumping on the counters.The streets in front of the mgm were nothing but police cars.I was taking pictures and had a police guy come and take my film from me.And they had to shut down the mgm.I was told it was the first time they had ever done that.But what was funny in the sports illustrated covering the story in the fight,they said it was champagne corks popping.Yeah i was there,and that was not corks.And i went to the newsstands the next morning to read what the heck happen for sure and there were no newspapers,which i just thought was odd.Anyway,i still have the collectibles i got from the fight.I still have the ticket and casino chip i bought.And the prize was a hat from team tyson.On the flight out there on the plane was a corner man from a fighter on the undercard and i became friends with him.And he got me backstage for the wieght-ins for the undercards and i got the hat.And during the wiegh-in for tyson/holyfield i was able to meet one of my all time favorites roy jones jr.That for sure was the most unusual sporting thing i have ever seen in person.
