Backwards Running
Jimmy Piersall of the New York Mets celebrated his 100th home run by running the bases backwards. Some of Piersall's other stunts include, walking up to bat wearing a Beatles wig, talking to the monument of Babe Ruth at Yankee Stadium, and climbing a grandstand roof to heckle an umpire.
Alas, Mets manager Casey Stengel was not amused; Piersall was quickly given the pink slip.
