Yes, there was a Olympic 400m hurdle final race, an english man, Hemery, won in a world record time, the commentator, David Coleman, said and second is ... third, well i didn't see that , but who cares who was third, Hemery has won. He had to eat his words as it was another British Athlete who had got the bronze for third. That plus a few other similar mistakes gave rise to the Private Eye column Coleman Balls, which also turned into a few books.

This one is from Harry Caray, long-time baseball announcer for the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs used to have "ball girls" to retrieve foul balls. The girls had two types of outfits, one with shorts and one with long slacks.
One year the season started out with warm weather, then after several games it turned cooler. On a cool day, one of the ladies (wearing her long slacks) retrieved a foul ball, and Harry Caray commented "This is the first time we've seen her without her shorts on."
There was a short pause, then both commentators burst out laughing for the next 5 minutes.

I once watched golf on telly ( not interested myself but the other half likes it ) , only to hear the immortal line: 'I can see his shaft shining through the trees.' As it was delivered in a low, whispering, mac-wearing kind of voice,it turned out to be the funniest moment in fourteen years of occasional golf-watching.

yes, and this is true: my ex-husband works for NASA and they have these NASA ways of talking like "roger that" and "that's affirmed" .... well, they all had to try and keep from laughing hysterically every time Mission Control would talk to astronaut Dick Richards (when he was in space) and would say "that's affirmed, Dick"
