Sports stories that reached beyond the playing field

We all have sports stories -- those two or three (or ten or twelve) favorite stories that seem to come up at every team banquet or neighborhood barbeque.

Did you have a crazy come-from-behind win, a play that left spectators scooping their jaws off the stadium floor, a series of mishaps worthy of a Groucho Marx movie, a sudden storm that left players confusing baseballs with hailstones?

We want to hear your favorite sports stories! Tell us about those funny, awful, poignant or otherwise unforgettable times that you know you'll never forget -- no matter how much you might want to.
