Jose Canseco bouncing one of his head for a home run.
That guy who ran through the fence(still don't know how he didn't die) trying to catch a home run ball.
Stuff like that I wanna hear some funny stories.

I'd still go with Lyons dropping trou at first base. Unbuckles, pulls down, starts brushing away the dirt... and suddenly realizes just what the heck he's doing! Jerked his pants back up to the armpits.
re/Buckner -- embarassing at the minimum, but it's worth getting the circumstances right. Knight was on second, and the tying run had already scored on a passed ball, so even had Wilson been put out the game would have proceeded to the 11th inning.
The fence-crasher was minor leaguer Rodney McCray.

Those are all great. What about Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Boston vs. NYM. A simple roller down the first base line blown by Bill Buckner. An out would have won it for Boston. Instead Mookie Wilson's roller by Bill allowed Ray Knight from third to win it for the Mets. The Mets forced a game seven and the rest is history. Bill Buckner's error was a downfall to his career. Just check out how much his baseball card is worth.

As Lloyd Moseby is stealing 2nd, the catcher throws the ball into the outfield. Lloyd thinks that the ball was hit in the air, so he runs back to 1st. The defensive team tries to throw him out and the ball goes behind the fielder and he runs to 2nd again.
Moseby steals 2nd, steals 1st and then 2nd again.
Randy Johnson in the all star game pitching to John Kruk and it sailing over his head at 100mph. Kruk gets in there very timidly the next time and whiffs at two other pitches and gladly takes his seat on the bench.
Another one was Dave Rigetti, while starting for the Yankees against the Blue Jays was really frustrated. The manager comes out to yank him from the game. He turns around and rifles the ball over the outfield fence (from the pitcher's mound).
Nice.

ESPN showed clips of three players (although I can't think of any of them) who caught a fly ball and then throwing the ball into the stands... only to be reminded that it was only the "second" out. And yes, there were runners on base. They all scored.
I think it was MarK "the Bird" who was into his windup and the wind blew him off the mound.
This isn't too funny from the poor bird's point of view but one flew in front of a Randy Johnson fastball and was sent to bird heaven. Seen that on ESPN several times.
Oh, and Brian from above... Several years ago the American League voted Jose Canseco one of their starting outfielders and he was on the DL all year. Hadn't played a single game by All-Star time. Go figure!

Bill Buckner, ball through the legs in the world series
There was a White Sox player in the late 80s/early 90s who slid into first base and knocked his head a little bit and droppped his pants at first to get the dirt out before he could snap back into reality and realize he was on tv with his pants down.

In 1962 the New York Mets traded catcher Harry Chiti to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later.
Fourteen days later due to Chiti's complete incompetence to play the position, the Indians sent him back to the Mets.
Harry Chiti is the only player in MLB history to be traded for himself.

Jose Canseco bouncing one of his head for a homerun! Takes the cake for me! He probably didn't feel anything!
