I have slightly different recollections of #8 & 9.

I seem to recall Dempsey doing his act in Boston, and then being invoiced by the Red Sox for damaging the tarp (he did it with his spikes on :) ) although that may have been an encore presentation.

I also seem to remember Jim Brown scoring 5 TDs against the BALTIMORE! Colts on a very foggy Sunday in Balto, none of which I remember seeing.

1965 -- Colts v Eagles
Jimmy Orr is injured in the first half and sent to Union Memorial Hospital for x-rays.

He re-enters the stadium in the second half and the stadium goes nuts. Shula waves him into the game. On the second play he catches a TD pass and the Colts win.

When Dempsey did his act in Boston - in June 1980 on a Sunday afternoon game that aired on Channel 2 - it was an encore act. He originally did it at home in a 1978 game but it got nowhere near the attention as the 2nd one, undoubtedly because it wasn't seen live on TV. Regardless, Peter said last week that the events for this list don't have to be limited to things that occurred in Baltimore.

P.S. June 1980 was also the same month of John Lowenstein's stretcher fist pump that many folks recited last week.

How about Opening Day 2003. The snow storm, game kept being played, fly ball to right was "lost" or not able to be seen in the third inning I believe it was and O's lose the game. Incidently, it was my son's first Opening Day Game at 6 years of age.

Honorable mention: The ABA Baltimore Claws coming to town and never playing a game.

I'm also pretty sure something strange happened during a Baltimore/Washington Cats roller derby match, but I'd have to research it.

1964 -- Colts v Packers

Paul Hornung, the man with the golden toe, missed FIVE field goals. The Colts won 24-21. By the fourth and fifth misses, it was kind of surreal.

Lenn Sakata picking off three players in one inning has to be up there.

Gotta include the day Ripken broke the record. That was strange enough. But even stranger, it actually shut up ESPN blabbermouth Chris Berman for 22 minutes.

I still think the Ravens not scoring a touchdown for five consecutive games and still winning the Super Bowl is a rather interesting story to tell the grandkids someday.

To Go Terps: Lenn Sakata didn't pick off three players in one inning. Tippy Martinez did. He had to because the Orioles had run out of players and had to use Sakata behind the plate. To keep the players from running wild on Sakata, Tippy picked them all off!

The Mussina Hassleman brawl was pretty surreal... I was there in the upperdeck so I could see everything as it developed from above. I didn't know how to react, cheer? boo? I kind of stayed quiet.

@sportnut:

I was at that snow opener in 2003 as well, but the birds WON that game in 13 innings, 6-5.

How about the Packers winning fileld goal that won the division title for them in early 60's. Later photos showed the attempt was wide. Next year NFL extended height on post to where they are today. I think final score was 13-10.

How about the fog game during the "Why Not" run in 1989? Phil Bradley circling mystifed under what should have been an easy out; I can still hear Jon Miller 20 years later: "Bradley doesn't know where it is!" Had they won that game, they would have been tied when they went to Toronto for those last 3, and if Pete Harnisch hadn't stepped on a nail in Toronto, who knows? That whole season was surreal -- not only Devereaux and the foul pole, but Mickey Tettleton the next day down the line for a double to win it, on another ball that was fair by inches.

What about Mike Curtis hitting the fan who ran out on the field??

Fantastic Fans Night for a 1-22 team in 1988.

I still can't fathom how a baseball team can lose 21 straight games, but they found a way nightly (especially in blowing leads.) I watched or listened to most of those games. Amazing.

How about that Opening Day several years ago when it snowed and Jay Gibbons lost a ball in right field?

What about the homerun Melvin Mora hit in 2008? It hit the top of the left field foul pole. Awesome and strange. Sadly many of these "strange moments" were also really crappy moments for Baltimore.

Jaybird...it wasn't Jim Brown, it was Paul Horning, in the fog. I was there.

On a negative note.How about the night Brooks Robinson made 3 errors in the time of 60 seconds,in 1 inning against the Oakland A's in June of 1971.That same night,the O's beat Rollie Fingers for the 2nd night in a row on a home run in the ninth inning.This one by Frank Robinson.The night before,the O's beat Mr.Fingers with a home run by Brooks Robinson after a 2 out double by Boog Powell.In 24 hours the O's had beaten the ace of the of the A's bullpen twice with homeruns on 2 pitches.That same series the O's had beaten "Catfish"Hunter 1-0 on a double by Clay Dalrymple in the 6th in of the 1st game of the series.The last night of the series was to have been Jim Palmer vs Rookie ace Vida Blue.Unfortunatey the rains came around 6pm till around 9 and the game was cancealed.I made this trip on money I had received from friends on my graduation from high school.A present I will remember for a lifetime.Well worth every penny.

Tippy Martinez putting three guys on base and picking each one of them off.

Steve Barber and Stu Miller combined to throw a no-hitter against Detroit and lose the game in 10 innings.

How about the time BJ Ryan came into a game, and earned a Win without even throwing a pitch? There was a runner on first, and he picked him off to end the inning. The O's took the lead, and Ryan did not come back out for the next inning.

How about when the O's set a record for consecutive losses, returning home to be greeted by one the loudest most enthusiastic crowds ever. Jay Tibbs then winning that game which was much more like a party.

A**hole Polin & A**hole Irsay tied for first. Fortunately neither one is around anymore to pull this same s**t on some other town.

Jal... right on with the Phil Bradley fog game. Yet another beneficial non-delay for the yankees.

Excellent choices Pete ...as are many of the suggestions today and last week.
Two that I did not see mentioned, however:
1) Instant quarterback Tom Matte and his wristband lead the Colts to a 3-point lead in the 1965 Western Conference championship game in Green Bay ...only to see the lead disappear on a last minute field goal by Don Chandler (which photos show was wide by at least 6 feet). After this debacle the goal posts were extended an additional 30 feet so that this sort of missed call would be unlikely to happen again.
2) In May, 1966 Frank Robinson becomes the first and only player to hit a fair ball completely out of Memorial Stadium. It passes over the left field bleachers like a rocket and lands on the parking lot beyond. Later, the event is memorialized simply: at the spot where the ball left the park a new flag is run up the closest flagpole. All it says is "Here"

I said earlier in my comments this happen in June of 1971.It was actually late July of 1971.What I commented on earlier really happen.Check the records.A great time due to the fact that Brooks Robinson had so many ups and downs in one series that the Orioles beat one of the greatest relief pitchers of all time on 2 straight pitches on 2 different nights.Has to be some kind of Major League record.What you think Pete?You think this needs to be in your top ten list of all time?

I was out there for the first game of a double header in 1978 when Jim Palmer was clearly unhappy with where his outfielders were playing..

So he went out almost to second base and played traffic cop, waving this guy over here and that guy over here and then deciding he didn't like it and did the whole thing all over again.

Ken Singleton was offended and pissed off and did as he was told but what not happy about it. And the centerfielder, a fellow named Carlos Lopez, just stood there like a lump, having no idea as to what was happening. Palmer was beside himself trying to get poor Carlos to move.

Needless to say, when the outfield was finally in place to Palmer's satisfaction, every ball was hit precisely to one of the repositioned outfielders.
