re: Your best WTF sports story

Before a big basketball game in HS against our rival, our principal came in to give a pep talk before the game. We all got fired up and the principal ended up bumping into our star player and tore his ACL, so we were without our best player for the game.
Long story short, I had the ball with about three seconds left in the game down by one and I was open near the free throw line for the shot. All I could hear in the background was our principal shouting "Shoot your hopes and dreams!". By the time I figured out what he was saying, the clock ran out and we lost.

Little league one year, raining off and on all night and I'm pitching. Down to our last actual baseball because all the others are waterlogged, I'm watching my catcher retrieve a foul ball. I hear, "Hey Pitch!" and then I wake up with all the coaches and umpires standing over me. Apparently, the umpire smoked one back at me, hit me in the side of the forehead, dropping me like Mike Tyson.
One week later, a teammate is trying to stretch a double into a triple. Same ump is running from home plate to cover the call at third. My buddy does a pop slide as he's tagged out. Without breaking stride, the ump gives a crow-hop, emphatic, "you're out" accompanied by youre-out punching motion, which connected directly with my buddy's face as he popped up, knocking him out, too.

3rd grade basketball tournament championship game story. Here we go.
The other team scored to take a 2 point lead with 12 seconds to go. Our coaches (composed of guys from the 8th grade team one of who was my cousin) call timeout with 11 seconds left. My cousin tells me that if I pass the ball to anyone instead of shooting that I will be known as a pussy for life. What is an 8year old to do?
Ball is inbounded to me, and I am rushing up the court, dribbling of course. I get to half court and launched up a half court shot with about 7 seconds left. Biggest wtf moment I've ever been apart of. Wouldn't you know it the shot hit off the backboard and went in. The other team had like 5 seconds to get off their shot while everyone was still celebrating. Luckily their shot fell short.
Got hoisted up on the coaches shoulders
BEST GAME EVER.

I always post in these threads too late.

My terrible high school soccer team managed a 1-1 draw with a state ranked Woodlawn team, on the basis of their second goal going THROUGH a hole in the side netting and the ref missing it.
Our goalie non-chalantly picked up the ball to line it up for a goal kick.

High school All-Star football game. I had previously injured my ankle slightly during basketball season. So I had the trainer tape it up pretty good.
2nd half. Our punt returner is on his way to the endzone for a touchdown. Everyone on the sideline is running along with him. One of the big offensive linemen trips and cuts me down, re-injuring my ankle. end of the game for me.

High school baseball game:
I was the SS, and our coach came up with a funny play before the game started. The opposing team had a really fast leadoff hitter that pretty much ran on the first pitch...he was a cocky MF'er. The play would go down as soon as he got on base. Sure enough he walked to open the game.
Runner at first goes with the pitch..catcher catches the pitch and throws a "popup" to me at SS. Everyone on out team startes yelling and pointing at the ball like a popup. Runner assumes a popup and turns around and runs back to first. I catch the ball and nail him at first.
It was funny as shite...so don't steal first without at least glancing towards the plate.
