Weird Moments in Cleveland Sports In-Person

Weird Moments in Cleveland Sports Bottlegate, Bedbugs, and Burying the Pennant

Cleveland sports fans have seen more than their share of weird, wild, and random events: A pitcher struck by lightning on the mound, a wrong-way basket, the player who was traded for himself, a victory thanks to a swarm of insects, a loss capped with a shower of beer bottles, “The dumbest man in pro sports” … Phew! And we haven’t event gotten to the 10-Cent Beer Night riot yet! If you can't laugh about it, what else can you do?

Highlights

• Covers all eras of Cleveland sports, with emphasis on events in recent memory • Focuses on Browns, Indians/Guardians, and Cavs • Categories include “On-Field Absurdity,” “Athletes Behaving Badly,” “Front O ice Follies,” “Strange Injuries,” and more.
