10 Craziest Things Ever Thrown on a Baseball Field
From flying pizzas to swarms of bees, here are the 10 wildest and weirdest things fans have ever thrown onto a baseball field. You won’t believe number 3.
Baseball is America’s pastime but sometimes the fans get a little too passionate. Over the years, stadiums have seen more than just baseballs hit the field. From bizarre animals to full-blown food fights, here are the top 10 craziest things ever thrown onto a baseball diamond.
Whether you're watching the game with a cold drink or playing a baseball-themed drinking game, these moments are guaranteed to make you appreciate the chaos.
10. A Prosthetic Leg
Yes, you read that right. During a 2012 minor league game, a fan threw a prosthetic leg onto the field. No one really knows why or how they left the stadium afterward. Security escorted the fan out, but the moment lived on in baseball infamy.
9. An Entire Pizza Slice
At Fenway Park, a legendary moment unfolded when a fan chucked an entire slice of pizza at another fan who was distracted by a foul ball. The moment was caught on live TV, and the announcers could not stop laughing. To this day, Pizza Guy remains a beloved part of Red Sox lore.
8. Live Chickens
In the 1970s, the San Diego Padres became the target of some wild fan behavior. After a losing streak, a fan threw live chickens onto the field as a protest. Animal control had to be called in, and the game was delayed while the birds were corralled. Not exactly a normal seventh-inning stretch.
7. Giant Teddy Bear
A Chicago Cubs fan once launched a massive stuffed teddy bear onto the field after a home run. While the gesture was sweet, it caused a brief game delay. The player who hit the homer even took a picture with the bear after the game.
6. A Catfish
If you think hockey has the monopoly on fish-throwing, think again. In Detroit, a Tigers fan threw a catfish onto the field during a playoff game. Why? Some say it was inspired by Nashville Predators fans. Regardless, it made one stinky mess in the outfield.
5. Golf Balls
During a Yankees game in the late 1990s, angry fans started hurling golf balls onto the field after a controversial call. The game was nearly suspended as umpires pleaded with fans to stop. Security tightened up big time after that one.
4. Bras and Underwear
More common than you might think. After a particularly dramatic walk-off win, one excited fan tossed her bra onto the field at Dodger Stadium. Players looked confused. The internet, however, had a field day.
3. A Glass Eye
In one of the most unbelievable incidents, a fan allegedly removed and threw their glass eye onto the field during a minor league game in Texas. Stadium staff had to retrieve it carefully, and the game announcer made a memorable joke about keeping an eye on the field.
2. Beehive Swarm
Not thrown but worth including. In 2019, a full swarm of bees invaded a game between the Diamondbacks and Reds. Players dove to the ground. The game was paused. One fan claimed it was karma for overpriced beer. No confirmation on that.
1. Thousands of Baseballs
In 2001, angry Baltimore Orioles fans organized a protest toss where they all threw souvenir baseballs onto the field at once. It was chaos. The game was delayed for nearly 15 minutes while staff cleared the field. MLB cracked down hard afterward to prevent similar incidents.
Final Thoughts
Baseball is unpredictable and not just because of the score. Sometimes, it is the fans who deliver the biggest surprises. If you love moments like these, imagine watching the next game with friends, drinks in hand, and a few hilarious drinking game rules to spice things up.
