20 Wild Baseball Moments That Went Down in History
Welcome to another year of Major League Baseball. After a brief hiatus, the sport is finally back in action.
But if we're being honest, most fans go to the game to experience the ambiance and the atmosphere of a ballpark. Sunshine, Hot dogs, nachos with cheese, an ice cold beer, maybe some cotton candy. Catching a foul ball or home run, is peak ballpark nirvana.
Conveniently enough though, it never seems to work out that way. Instead we get middle-aged drunk dudes yelling about which team is better. People spilling their beer trying to make a catch. And my personal favorite, fans streaking the field thinking that they won't get caught. It's a beautiful day for a baseball.
In that light, we've collected 20 of the craziest things to ever happen at the ballpark. None of them however, actually have anything to do with the game of baseball itself. Enjoy.
