TSN Top 10: One in a Million Moments

TSN Top 10: One in a Million Moments

[kens]

I love that the first instinct the crowd has when that dude parachuted in was to beat the hell out of him.

[SoCalSgt]

Catch a ball behind your back is ahead of Skip Water hole in one and Randy Johnson destroying a bird? No sir.

[brianserrano]

Randy Johnson should be number 1 that is truly one in a million

[gnarwhalnoah]

Ranked in order of actual rarity

10. Catcher catching ball no look (cmon this cant be that rare)
T8. Throwing into receivers hands when he wasnt looking/ throwing into pitchers glove when he wasnt looking (these are really fun imo but the fact that they are so similar and both on the list kinda runs the 1 in a million feel)
7. Outfielder going through the wall (definitely cant do that in todays game but not the craziest)
6. Front flip into the endzone (I'm giving this one points for the height and landing. We've seen people vault and get flipped but this had style)
5. Roberto Carlos impossible angle (nuts shot, but we all know hed do it again. If anything Roberto Carlos is the 1 in a million here)
4. Bank shot off the other ball into the hole (absolutely ridiculous situation, so many things had to go right and it's so satisfying to watch)
3.That dude gliding into the boxing ring (this gets points for sheer absurdity. The definition of 1 in a million because how on earth did it even happen once???)
2. Water skip ace (most stylish clip, the skips on the water, the roll, the curl, it's all there. Would probably actually take a million attempts to recreate)
1. Randy Johnson killing a bird (I mean cmon. Is there anything to say really. The bird, flying quite fast, and a randy Johnson fastball, extremely fast, colliding in mid air is already so absurd. The perfect explosion of feathers as the bird is rocketed straight to the shadow realm, perfection. And the lifeless bird carcass flopping in frame at the end is the unexpected desert to top off this three course meal of a clip. There truly will never be anything like it again)

If I could go back in time I would have never thrown that pitch. What a nice guy! Randy is a gentleman

[Mayor_Of_Eureka]

The way the crowd just hammers the guy with the fan is out of control. I remember that.

[alexanderlindvall]

How in the world is Randy Johnson's bird pitch not #1???

[bryancola]

How is that water skip tee shit not number 1?

[organicmilk]

2:34 glitch in the matrix moment right there lmao

[itinkle]

You think a flip into the endzone beats Johnson hitting a bird? No clue

[estilkind]

Jon Rahm's "skipping stone" golf shot should have been #1

[mastick]

Technically, #7 is a three-in-a-million moment. Vijay Singh did the same thing in 2009, and Martin Kaymer did it in 2012. As far as I know they're the only three to pull off a hole-in-one on the practice round's traditional 16th hole water skip.

[ClubPenguinBand]

Before I even clicked on the video I was thinking "Randy Johnson and the dove will be on this"

[Grandizer]

A pitcher killing a bird has happened again since Randy did it. My number one is Vince Carter dunking over a 7 footer in a game. He said in an interview that he tried to replicate it over a 6’3 guy later and couldn’t do it. It was all adrenaline

[paulcarey]

They missed out Ford's classic line on the Smith catch: "I've heard of no-look passes before, but never a no-look catch".

[Grendel]

You went through ten million moments to find these?

[daveblanco]

Still can’t believe that John Rahm shot

[peterjohnson]

It would be nice to know just what was called on Randy Johnson`s "dove pitch" ????

[patrickwall]

For those wondering on number five there's no penalty for your ball hitting another player's ball. by rule the shot counts and the player who's ball he hit has to place it at the spot it was when it was hit.

[fuzzybanana]

Johnson destroying that bird has been, still is and always will be one of the greatest sports moments of all time.
