I loved this rundown of bizarre moments at Shea Stadium. The stadium's days are numbered, and although it's not the historic fortress across the East River also about to be replaced, it certainly has taken on a life of its own.

Game 6 of the 1986 World Series was one of the kookiest games of all time. As this article points out, the ball rolling through Bill Buckner's legs was merely the conclusion to an already odd game. When that guy parachuted onto the field, you just knew the contest was headed for a weird ending. The Mets' victory pushed the series to a Game 7, but the deciding game seemed anticlimactic and almost unnecessary. It was obvious the Mets were going to win.

If Game 6 were available on DVD (complete with Vin Scully's play-by-play, of course), I would buy it. The game captures so many unusual and dramatic elements, making it unlike any other World Series game I've seen.
