Samenvatting:
Cleveland sports fans: If you cant laugh about it, what else are you gonna do?
Cleveland sports teams have set records for futility in baseball, football, and basketball. But even beyond that, Cleveland sports fans have witnessed more than their share of weird, wild, random, and odd occurrences, from front office ineptitude to absurd losses to bizarre injuries and more.
Like the Cavs player who accidentally scored a layup in the wrong basket (and another who shot at his own basket on purpose)
The testy Tribe manager who got into a fight during an exhibition game with the Triple-A farm team
The Browns owner who took advice from a random stranger on the street and blew a first-round draft pick on Johnny Football
The rookie pitcher shot in the leg while riding on the team bus wearing a cheerleader outfit and go-go boots
The team owner once called the dumbest man in pro sports
One Browns star whose season-ending injury came while popping a wheelie and another whose eye was nearly put out by a referees flag
The Indians player who was traded for himself
A victory owed to a timely swarm of insects
The Cavaliers first draft, planned using bubble-gum cards
When Tribe mascot Slider fell off the outfield wall into live action during a playoff game
Phew! And were just getting started. (We havent even mentioned 10-Cent Beer Night yet.) If youre a Cleveland sports fan, youll enjoy this offbeat collection.
