I didn't see this so I don't know if he was on here, but the craziest motherfucker there is in all of sports is, hands down, Turk Wendell. This guy is an absolute nutcase whackjob.

i never saw this thread.

i checked wikipedia on this guy and this was what they had:

Wendell is probably best known for his baseball-related eccentricities, which included:

* Wendell insisted that the umpire roll the ball to the mound rather than simply throw it to him (If an umpire would ignorantly throw the ball to him, Wendell was known to let it go past him, or even to let it bounce off his chest, after which he would retrieve it from the ground).
* Whenever he began a new inning, Wendell would turn and wave to the center fielder and wait for him to wave back before proceeding.
* At the beginning of each inning, Wendell would reportedly draw three crosses in the pitcher's mound dirt.
* Whenever his catcher stood, Wendell would crouch down.
* When entering or leaving the field, Wendell would always take a tremendous leap over the baseline.
* Wendell would chew black licorice (an alternative to the chewing tobacco used by many players).
* Wendell often brushed his teeth between innings (some claim that he brushed between every inning). While brushing, he often hid in the dugout, either by ducking behind objects or by facing the wall.
* Wendell forcefully slammed his rosin bag onto the pitcher's mound between outs.
* Wendell wore jersey number 99, in honor of Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, the main character in the movie Major League (played by Charlie Sheen). In addition, in 2000 he signed a contract worth $9,999,999.99.[1]
* Wendell wore a necklace made from the claws and teeth of various animals he had hunted and killed.
* While in the minor leagues, rumor was that he drank only orange juice (no food or any other drink) on days he pitched. But he also claimed to drink four cups of coffee before each start.
* Wendell sometimes threw his glove into the stands when leaving a game.

I'd hang with Wendell.

[KenKill75]

I think they took him down. :what:

[Keith Moon]

Downtown?

[Bruce]

Book him, Dan-o.

[KenKill75]

Down, as in, not hanging anymore.

[jazz]

if this guy were still playing, i'd probably sit down and watch a baseball game. see if he freaks out or anything.

[KenKill75]

I remember them always showing clips of him jumping over the baseline, but I didn't know about that other stuff.

[jazz]

i wish they would clone him and distribute one to each team. it would definitely bring up tv ratings.

there was some skiier in a warren miller movie who jumped off a 250+ ft cliff with his skis on. he jumped and did a really slow half rotation and landed head first in powder and was unhurt

he said that he would never ever do anything that stupid again, and they named the cliff after him

i saw this a long time ago so i don't remember his name or the location, but it was fucking crazy

[KenKill75]

If he said he said he would never do it again, then he's not crazy enough. :wink:

[Keith Moon]

U so cwazy.

[Capt]

If he said he said he would never do it again, then he's not crazy enough. :wink:

if you saw what it looked like then you'd agree he was crazy

but i guess i am the only source of information here and i'm probably not trustworthy

I always enjoyed Jorge Campos, the Mexican goalkeeper who'd design his own kits (in ridiculous lurid fluorescent colours) and play up front, and dribble the ball from his own goalline out and try to beat the entire opposition team and score. He also took penalties. Also Carlos Valderrama, the guy who Jazz has the gif of doing the Scorpion Kick. He also had various dodgy Columbian gangland ties and was a porn star. Faustino Asprilla too - gun-toting pimp by night, footballer by day.

this isnt the same guy because this guy happened to die

[Modus Ponens]

Wendell kept a live grenade in his locker. He was completely off the reservation.

John Riggins wasn't wrapped too tight either.

:clap2:

I would laud that comment based on its generic nature alone.

[jazz]

anything that involves MAGO and rights being taken away makes for fun times on encircling
