Was just watching this LeBron returns to Cleveland. Cleveland was brutal that night, with commentators stating it felt like a Game 7.



It got me thinking.

There's the Lane Kiffin return to Tennessee which boiled over to eventually include trash and a golf ball thrown at Kiffin.





And



Braves Infield Fly

What are some other good examples of this I'm forgetting?

I really don't think you'll ever see a more hostile crowd in the USA than that one when there aren't non-sports factors involved (1980 USA vs USSR hockey, for instance).

I'm sure there is some European soccer stuff that blows that out of the water, but I don't know enough to tell you what specific game to look for.

ETA: Even back then, I thought the Cavs fans handled that wrong. They should have treated that like just another game and treated LeBron like any other visiting player. That would have stung his massive ego much, much, much worse.

Top 20 would probably all be soccer games from Europe.

Take your pick with European soccer really.

Greece (POAK):



Turkey (I think)




Celtic v. Rangers always causes Glasgow to shut down:



Celtic fans were so pissed off over Rangers finishing above them last year that the fans fire bombed their own GMs house.

I did figure there were some international/soccer games that fit this for sure.

Cleveland Browns Bottlegate circa 2001.
Saints fans pulled the same thing against the Rams on MNF the next week.
