6:11 In his book, Pedro Martinez says he regrets his response to Don Zimmer charging him. In so many words, Pedro says, "I just should have run. It would be have been funny, Don Zimmer chasing me around the field." (I warmly recommend his autobiography PEDRO.)
The most Bizarre thing I ever saw in a MLB game was when Denard Span hit a foul ball off of a fan's chest. That fan was his very own mother. You can't make this stuff up.
I was at that spring training game in Scottsdale, where Randy Johnson exploded the bird. The vibe was really weird after. No one quite knew or understood what happened at first.
How about when David Cone was arguing with the first base umpire on whether the base runner was out and while he was doing that another player scored b/c he had the ball?
The Giants' Terry Mulholland having to throw his mitt to get a putout at 1b because the ball was somehow stuck in his glove was a bit weird. Forgot about that Cleveland beer night, that was...screwy and screwed up
I was at the game at the start when Puig dropped the ball, you can see me and my buddy in the stands in the shot. We were screaming at Puig all game so we always thought we made that happen. At one point he did turn and look back at us, that's why we thought we made it happen, we think we got under his skin.
Good video, Erik. I’m going through baseball withdrawals! I want some Giants baseball soon! Thanks for covering our team, bro. 🧡🖤⚾️. BTW: I think the Rubén Rivera base running blunder in a game vs Arizona in 2003. It was funny, but I didn’t laugh about it until the Giants later won the game…then it was hysterical! 😂😂😂
Thanks for the fun video! Although not as crazy as the incidents in this video, two of my favorite weird MLB moments from when I was a kid are the ball that hit Canseco on the head and bounced over the wall for a home run and the Joe Niekro emery board incident.
Love Rick Camp, it's too bad we didn't let this turn into a movie three decades earlier because Tom Hanks would have played the perfect Rick Camp at the time.
I know it was before the game technically but the 89 world series where an earthquake happened and had the world series pause for over a week should've deserved an honorable mention at least. We wanted baseball, mother nature said "hold your horses there"
Oh yeah, that's on Zimmer.. you gotta know you're 72 years old, don't go after an athlete in his prime or you're gonna get thrown down or seriously hurt.
I feel like the 10 cent beer night and disco demolition have to be on this list, I love the Eddie gaedel story he was not commissioned the 1/8 jersey that was actually the bat boy Bill DeWitt Jr's the owner of the cardinals today.
I would be so happy to see a video dedicated to Ten Cent Beer Night or Disco Demolition Night. Honestly, if I could go back in time for one night, I think it would be Ten Cent Beer Night.
I was watching the game on TV when Rangers OF David Hulse fouled 4 consecutive pitches off into the same spot in the Angels dugout causing the players to jokingly clear the dugout.
You should have 100K subs, easy. Best historic baseball content on YT, and it's not even close. Just as likely to see Heinie Manush as you are to see Albert Pujols or Mike Trout in one of your vids. Everyone _talks_ about "Tinker to Evers to Chance", but you'd be the one to somehow produce actual footage. Fantastic stuff.
This video is hilarious! Some of your audience may not know that in the 70's it was a huge fad for people to streak. Streaking is running around nude, in public. Thanks for the laugh this morning
The last forfeited mlb game. Cardinals at Dodgers 1995. It was Souvenir baseball night at Dodgers Stadium. Fans threw baseballs on the field in the 9th inning disgruntled about the strike zone. 15 - 20 buckets were filled up with baseballs. That was the last souvenir baseball night at Dodgers Stadium. The game was on tv.
I still think Braves Related Bizarre moment was the Press Box caught fire. No one got seriously hurt, but they still played a Game. Not sure what year that was.
That Johnson hitting the bird thing still boggles the mind. Think about the odds of that. I've been watching baseball for 30 years and it's been around around 150 years and to my knowledge there was never an instance of a bird flying across in front of the batters box as is. Let alone at the perfect time and place a pitch ends up. Those odds are beyond astronomical.
Clemens should have been ejected for throwing the bat in Piazza's path. He through the damn bad right to the spot where he was running. Clemens was a POS anyway who I'm glad is still on the outside looking in to the HOF.
Oh! I just remembered a game I watched live on TV in 1986! Red Sox vs. Yankees on September 13th, with legendary broadcaster Vin Scully calling the game. Jim Rice and Spike Owen collide in foul territory and end up on the ground for a while. A Yankees fan reaches down and steals Jim Rice's hat. You don't mess around with Jim! Rice hops into the stands, runs up twenty rows, and beats the crap out of the fan to get his hat back. The Red Sox manager and half the team follow Rice up into the stands, and one of them brings a bat. Then as everything is settling down, some other crazy Yankees fan jumps out of the stands and tries to pull a huge padded panel off of the wall and is tackled by the police.
Did you consider on Yankees opening day 1978, Reggie Jackson hits, a home run in his first at bat (so technically it was his 4th home run in row. From the 3 Home-runs he hit in the game-winning World Series in October 1977) and everyone threw their free Reggie bars onto the field. And they had a delay the game. - Also 1973 playoffs, with the Mets and the Res, and Pete Rose, starts a brawl against the much smaller Buddy Harrelson at 2nd base. Then when Pete Rose went out to play left field, all the Met’s fans, throw their garbage at Pete Rose. And the Mets were threaten by the ump to forfeit the game. Then Mets manager Yogi Berra, had to go out to left field, and brought Tom Seaver and Willie Mays out there to calm everyone down. (so that’s 4 potential future Hall of famers, involved in that one incident) Not to mention, Johnny bench, & Joe Morgan also there, & later in the Hall of Fame.
Sox/Yanks fight in 04 was the game in July, not the ALCS And Pedro more guided Zimmer to the ground vs throwing. Zimmer was going at his top speed, not sure he could have stopped any other way 🤣
Mitch Williams game winning hit the next day, George Brett goes nuts, Pete rose catches the ball that Bob Boone dropped 1 out away from the out to win the world series, cubs collapse, .....
How about the 700 plus pot plants removed from Anaheim Stadium outfield grass before opening day 73 or 74. The Who did a concert there a month before opening day. A guy with a bag of pot seeds spread them like Johnny Appleseed. They sprouted.
I was watching that Mets/Braves game, July 4, 1985 at my parents home in San Juan 🇵🇷. Keith Hernández hit for the cycle that night/morning. The Mets scored the go ahead rum in the 18th inning and then Rick Camp hits that improbable, impossible, game tying HR. I started laughing and clapping, (suppose I woke up the neighbors 😂). I couldn't believe it, what were the odds something like that could ever happen ? It was great, too bad the Braves ended up losing that game. ⚾
Throwing old people obviously is not a good look but what gets overlooked while everyone was feeling sorry for Zimmerman is that he charged at Pedro with intent. He wanted a fight and well...Im not condoning throwing old people but also maybe they shouldn't take a run at professional athletes.
In high school an opposing coach put in a tiny guy to get a walk. His strike zone was about the size of the catchers mitt but i managed to strike him out. Told their first base coach after the third out that if they did it again i would drill his little ass. They didnt.
I think the oddest things I have seen was during Cubs vs. Cards one of h Cards players hit a ball in play and didn't know he it was in play and Willy tagged him on the butt while he stood in the box.
Yeah and the 'unwritten rule' that pitchers can bean hitters. Reminds me of in high school during gym class when I constantly successfully hit the star pitcher of the school baseball team. He ended up purposefully drilling me in the ribs, twice. Gym teacher did nothing and I got back at him by telling him he'll never make the big leagues, and of course he didn't. I went on to work in Silicon Valley, retired in my 40s, and he probably is in some boring desk job or selling women's shoes like Al Bundy. Ah glory days!
Great list Only a few snubs Vuzavela night Marlins make the veecks proud with giving away thousands of horns then making the place sound like a torture chamber Mets v giants ppd FOG WORLD SERIES Earthquake Crying in baseball: the Wilmer Flores incident social media gone mad
Good lost but several of them like Piazza incident, I wouldn’t call this wacky or unusual. I’m sure it happened before and will happen again. How about Metkles Boner? Or the tome two balls were in play at once? Or the Dodgers getting 3 men stuck at 3rd? Or how about the usassisted triple play in the WS? Yes your mind obviously doesn’t go beyond the 1950s
I would be shocked if another pitcher actually ended up with a sharp shard of the baseball bat and threw it towards the batter... what a pyschopath.. I'm sure yes, broken bats have ended up in the pitchers hand and will again, but for them to throw it at the batter?! Wow..
@@HummBabyBaseball How about Merle's Boner? This play actually almost stopped the cubs from going to the World Series and the spectical of trying to find the baseball and did he touch second and then a protest. The only thing I saw close to this was a bases loaded walk to end the game and Kingman went from second into the dougout and an argument ensued but Kingman was right, the rules stated that in this situation a player has to touch home and a player has to touch first.

U can if you know the Phil Linz story
That Rick Camp story had me in stitches just now 😂😂, especially the 911 calls. Wow, I don't remember that game, thanks. 👏

The bird should have waited for a change up
How Clemens wasn’t ejected from that game I will never know
I keep asking the same question ever since the day that it happened.
Dave Winfield vs. the seagull... he got arrested for it!
I was at the game at the start when Puig dropped the ball, you can see me and my buddy in the stands in the shot. We were screaming at Puig all game so we always thought we made that happen. At one point he did turn and look back at us, that's why we thought we made it happen, we think we got under his skin.
I legitimately thought that Eddie Gaedel was a kid when I first saw photos of him.
REd Sox would love to watch since 2 of these are Roger Clemens went to the Hated Yankees.

BTW: I think the Rubén Rivera base running blunder in a game vs Arizona in 2003. It was funny, but I didn’t laugh about it until the Giants later won the game…then it was hysterical! 😂😂😂
I was just thinking about the same thing in Rivera's base running. It was both hilarious and cringe worthy at the same time 😂.
Thanks for the fun video!

How about when the Expos mascot was thrown out of the game for bothering Tommy Lasorda
Justice for Youppi!
What about the father/son duo who attacked the first base coach at a White Sox game?
I must've forgotten that one!
ruclips.net/video/4Ho1GHJMFJo/видео.html
I know it was before the game technically but the 89 world series where an earthquake happened and had the world series pause for over a week should've deserved an honorable mention at least. We wanted baseball, mother nature said "hold your horses there"
The last video of the 10 cent beer night for the Indians game sounded to me like a college frat party getting out of hand 😂.
Don Zimmer ran at Pedro it was not an unfair move.
Oh yeah, that's on Zimmer.. you gotta know you're 72 years old, don't go after an athlete in his prime or you're gonna get thrown down or seriously hurt.
I feel like the 10 cent beer night and disco demolition have to be on this list,
I love the Eddie gaedel story he was not commissioned the 1/8 jersey that was actually the bat boy Bill DeWitt Jr's the owner of the cardinals today.
I was at an Expos/Giants game in 1987 when Hubie Brooks hit Vance Law in the cubes with a throw... hilarious!!!
I would be so happy to see a video dedicated to Ten Cent Beer Night or Disco Demolition Night. Honestly, if I could go back in time for one night, I think it would be Ten Cent Beer Night.
I was watching the game on TV when Rangers OF David Hulse fouled 4 consecutive pitches off into the same spot in the Angels dugout causing the players to jokingly clear the dugout.
10 cent beer night. What could go wrong?
When a game was "rained out" at the Astrodome because the teams couldn't get to the ballpark because of the rain.
David Hulse, 1992 season: four consecutive foul balls into the Angels' dugout.
In the EXACT SAME PLACE every time.
You should have 100K subs, easy. Best historic baseball content on YT, and it's not even close. Just as likely to see Heinie Manush as you are to see Albert Pujols or Mike Trout in one of your vids.

Dusty bakers kid went to cal? How as a cal fan myself did I not know that!
On july 2, 2009 a swarm of bees delayed the astros padres game for 52 minutes.
How about that time that one guy for that one team did that thing? That was pretty wild maybe
Oh yeah, that was crazy
@@HummBabyBaseball nah its overrated, terrible video
Way too go J.t salute,@12:54🤣,never count your chickens before they hatch and it ain't over until its over

Just watched that video for the 1st time. Thanks. 👏 This may be partly why they charge at least $15 for an adult beverage nowadays. Lol
I was 21 in 1979 and remember it crystal clear. Disco really SUCKED that bad.
Hey don't 4get about the Reggie (jackson) candy bar day at Yankee Stadium. ✌️
Did you consider on Yankees opening day 1978, Reggie Jackson hits, a home run in his first at bat (so technically it was his 4th home run in row. From the 3 Home-runs he hit in the game-winning World Series in October 1977)

I love rock and I love Disco.
The '70s was such a weird and awesome time
Great list
Great job. There was a game where the fans and I think Braves or Padres were involved. That must of been 11th.
Sox/Yanks fight in 04 was the game in July, not the ALCS
And Pedro more guided Zimmer to the ground vs throwing. Zimmer was going at his top speed, not sure he could have stopped any other way 🤣
How could you not include the pine tar bat game?
A few years ago the Cardinals had an Eddie Gardel bobblehead night.
9:50 amazing lmao
loved the bird crossing!!!
Mitch Williams game winning hit the next day, George Brett goes nuts, Pete rose catches the ball that Bob Boone dropped 1 out away from the out to win the world series, cubs collapse, .....
How about the 700 plus pot plants removed from Anaheim Stadium outfield grass before opening day 73 or 74. The Who did a concert there a month before opening day. A guy with a bag of pot seeds spread them like Johnny Appleseed. They sprouted.
Bert Campaneris throwing his bat at the pitcher in the ALCS.
Randy Johnson pitch
Ball or Strike?
Fowl ball.
How 'bout the game between Atlanta and San Diego where the fights kept breaking out thanks to Pascual Perez ?
EVERY night should be ten cent beer night!
Man, this is something else.
I remember Steve Dahl and his Disco Demolition night at Comisky. The Sox had to forfeit the game - par for the course for that loser team. Cheers....
1st ever ball stuck in glove toss to 1st base. Announceners couldn't believe what happened
Haven't even watched it yet and I JUST KNOW Randy blasting that bird mid pitch has to be on here 😂
Rick Monday and the flag 4/25/76 was a bizarre and wacky moment.
Who is Carne nal , I know Bill Madlock but the other player looks familiar where they both batted at the same time
Awesome video

Yeah and Petro just threw him to the ground, not really injuring him.
Just a question from me from the Netherlands, why are in America the home team always named second
Most bizarre thing I saw growing up. Was Manny cutting off Johny Damon's throw. That was funny.
That pigeon shot by Randy Johnson would have looked more awesome on video had HD cameras been available at that time!
What about Fernando Tatis hitting 2 grand slams in the same inning off the same pitcher?
JT Snow was the real World Series MVP
What is the solo flute music?
Myth busters even tried recreating the Randy Johnson bird thing and couldn’t do it with a pitching machine and an air cannon firing game hens
I assume frozen game hens of course, otherwise PETA would be upset.
Dude I can’t 5:10 right in fine print, it says midget pinch hits. Like I don’t know why I find that so funny
The bird was actually showing signs of depression before that pitch...so .....
Number 8 is way too low. That's a billion to one shot right there.
Too bad you dind't include the infamous "Three Dodgers on One Base" from 1926.
Does anybody know what the umps ruled that Randy Johnson pitch that hit the bird?
i believe it was ruled hit by pitch and the dove was awarded first base
It was a FOWL ball. Da da dumb.
In high school an opposing coach put in a tiny guy to get a walk.
His strike zone was about the size of the catchers mitt but i managed to strike him out.
Told their first base coach after the third out that if they did it again i would drill his little ass.
They didnt.
Robin V. going after Nolan......
I think the oddest things I have seen was during Cubs vs. Cards one of h Cards players hit a ball in play and didn't know he it was in play and Willy tagged him on the butt while he stood in the box.
The Clemens situation is very easy to explain, Roid rage.

Good one; I definitely considered it!
"When Clemens through a fastball up and in..."
You mean, when Clemens through a pitch high over the plate...
That's true. That wasn't much inside.
Should have had the bird stuffed and sent to the Hall.
Moral of the story, never schedule a Veeck for a double header.
7:31 Roid rage Roger.
It's Bill Madlock not Gary.
the teim clemens hit piza in teh head the day before he siad he was gon got d it.. why he was not supsended, for that OR teh bat throw is total bs..
Could have included the couple getting caught having sex in a SkyDome suite back in the early 90's
heheehheeh pretty wild shit!!

You forgot the time Monday saved an American flag being burnt by a fan that ran onto the field to do so!
Clemens fielded the bat, realized it wasn't the ball, and he threw it away. That's why he didn't throw the broken bat to first base.
How about the first Major League homer by Big Sexy at age 43, and the announcer went nuts?
What an awesome moment; that will be in my Top 10 Most Feel Good Moments!!
