Wenn man sich noch blöder anstellt als wir anno tobak bei dem Heimspiel gegen die Ravens dann hat man's eh nicht anders verdient...

Mir ist einfach kein besseres Beispiel für "sich im Baseball blöd anstellen" eingefallen als das... Zumindest keines das man in dieses "öffentliche" Forum stellen sollte.

zb so:
Eddie Stanky made a dynamite throw on a double play. But there was one problem. He was the runner , not the fielder. In a 1944 game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Ebbets Field, the Brooklyn Dodgers held a slim 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning . With Bobby Bragan the runner on first, Stanky lashed a line drive to right field where Stan Musial made a spectacular, diving catch. Bragan, who was running on the play, was halfway to the third base when Musial caught the ball. So the right fielder got to his feet and threw toward first baseman Ray Sanders, hoping to double up Bragan. But Sanders never caught the ball. As the throw came into the infield, Stanky, who had rounded first, snared the toss with his bare hand and then, in digust fired the ball against the right field wall 230 feet away from where he stood. Umpire Larry Goetz called Bragan out anyway for Stanky's interference. Then he turned to Stanky and said, "Save those throws for when you take the field."

# Earliest ejection of a catcher
( 10 minutes, Al Lopez, 1934 )

AL Lopez used a photo to prove foul-tempered umpire Bill Klem had blown a big call. But when the ump got the picture, the catcher got the thumb. As a result, Lopez was in the showers 10 minutes before the game even started! The disputed call came in a 1934 contest as the Dodgers' catcher tried to tag out a runner at home. " I knew I had the plate blocked, but then Klem called the guy safe." Lopez recalled."I came off the ground yelling my head off . Klem wouldn't listen. He just indicated the runner had slid in under the tag." But the next morning, much to Lopez's delight, a newspaper published a picture of that very play--- which clearly showed the catcher had made the tag. That afternoon, Klem strode to home plate to start the day's game and noticed the plate was covered with dirt. he took out his whisk broom, brushed it off-- and found himself staring at the newspaper photo taped to the plate. Klem furiously ripped the picture off the plate, thrust it under Lopez's nose, and belowed:" Yer outta here!" For Lopez, there was no Klemency.

# Most players on one team ejected in a game
( 15 players: 1951 )

They called it " The Boston Beef Party." During a late-season game with the Boston Braves in 1951, the Brooklyn Dodgers put us such a beef with the umpire over a call that 15 of them were given the thumb. The Dodgers, desperately trying to hold on to first place in the final week of the season, were deadlocked, 3-3, with the Braves in Boston in the bottom of the eighth. Then came the critical play of the game. Umpire Frank Dascoli called the Braves' Bob Addis safe on a bang-bang play at the plate. Dodgers catcher Roy Campanella was outraged. He threw down his glove, wheeled around, and spewed a few choiice words at the ump. In a flash, Dascoli thumbed Campy out of the game. Then the catcher's teammates took up his fight with a verbal assault on the umpire. One by one, Dascoli ejected the Dodgers until there was no one left on the bench. The final toll: 15 players banished. After the game, which the Dodgers lost, 4-3, Dascoli had to be protected by a cordon of police as enraged Dodger Jackie Robinson tried to batter down the door of the umpires' dressing room. (he was fined $100 the next day by league president Ford Frick.)
