funny or interesting screens, or stories about the game

Mortimer · 06-14-2009, 12:23 AM

I want to make a thread for people to post thier more unusual experiances or photos they have seen in the game so far

To start off when I was playing today I came across this play by play

I have played all 60 games so far in that league and never saw this one. I would love to see a short stop throw his glove in a game.

also might be nice to get a out by stopping it

Got this one last night, made me laugh...

I do enjoy these type of things, it breaks from the monotony that can happen at times and these types of things do happen in games all the time. I've actually heard of much worse happening (at real games) but it may not be appropriate to post here.

I've had Freddy Sanchez throw his glove at the ball 1 time.

I've had Brandon Webb ask for a new ball, looked at it, and asked for another new ball (1 time also)

Also have had a streaker run on the field (1 time).

Has anyone else had the PBP comment about the good looking ball girl that retrieves a foul ball?

Cool addition, except it is all wrong:

If an umpire judges that a fielder intentionally throws his glove at a batted ball and the glove makes contact with the ball in any manner, the batter and all runners are awarded three bases (7.05c). Keep in mind that on such plays the ball is not dead and the batter-runner may try for four bases at his own risk if he chooses.

So these should all be triples, not merely on base.

The quoted play doesn't mention any contact between the ball and glove. I've seen that happen in a major league game before.

I haven't seen anyone actually touch the ball with the thrown glove though.

You're right, the most significant bit of information is missing.

And 60 years ago for the last MLB thrown glove ruling:

I've had a couple, but neither of the ones above.

I like the addition. They're uncommon enough to make me laugh, but not too common to get sick of them. Obviously I still haven't even seen them all

I've had two guys on the same team get skunks put in their lockers. In my mind, it must have been the first guy getting the second guy back. One of them was Jimmie Foxx, which leads to all sorts of delightful animal puns. "Foxx skunked."

Was viewing an OOTP game last night and had a fan run onto the field. Was takled, I think, with no further incident.

Cool.

Afino · 06-15-2009, 08:35 PM

Ooh, just got one!

Joba Chamberlain style!

Todorojo · 06-16-2009, 01:44 AM

Yea I got the bee/bug one too, kinda funny.

LeiterFanatic · 06-16-2009, 08:55 AM

Awesome... This kind of stuff made DMB the king of play by play and its good to see some of it in OOTP

Does Roy Halladay being attacked by a shark and is out for 2 weeks count?

In the last game I played, it said that one of the players had an interview in recent team newsletter. In the interview, he said that he lost one of his toes in a hunting accident as a boy.

Did Cecil slam the door on his face when Prince refused to give him some cash?
