    I was playing in center field in baseball and ran up hard on a short pop fly. Missed it and it broke my nose.

    I picked the ball up and threw it home all bloody and the catcher tried to get the guy out then dropped the ball because it was covered in blood then another guy scored lol

    My entire youth sports (below high school) was a long running embarrassment yet with nothing remarkable. My fat ugly nipples in middle school track tank tops might have been one of the worst. Wrestling in 2nd & 3rd grade was moving from one mat of degradation to another.

    Senior year of football in a first round playoff game, against another small town school that took football very seriously and traveled well. I wore old school knee braces that had these hanger straps that ran up the inside of the pants and hooked on the belt. Damn things were constantly coming undone. In this case, the braces became terribly tangled up and I could barely move because they slid down so far. I came off field following an offensive series, went to far side of bench, and without thinking much dropped trow to fix the situation as quick as I could. I gradually become aware of a commotion behind me, and turn around to see that I'm directly in front of the visitors section and am being heckled by the cheerleaders, students, and parents. Good tims.


    Underwear too clean, otherwise, just like that.

    Senior year we were getting our asses kicked in our rivalry game at the other team's place. We had destroyed them 3 years prior and I had talked a lot of shit to their receivers and knew I was going to have to take it this year. But then we came all the way back and beat them in overtime and I laughed.

    Reads more like a humble brag than worst sports moment.

    Wasn't really that humble, either

    I also had diarrhea after a big win

    So even when you won, you lost.

    Can't think of anything particularly embarassing from playing team sports, but for reasons I won't get into I entered a triathlon in my late teens that I barely trained for.

    I really had no business being in one, and the swimming portion was a huge embarassment in itself, but I did well enough in the cycling and running portions that it wouldn't have been a complete and total embarassment.

    Except for some reason the finish line was at the top of a pretty steep hill, and I had given everything I had trying to make up for the time I lost in the swimming portion. I still decided to full sprint, to the extent that I could, up that final hill to get it over with.

    As I got to the top I suddenly felt an intense cramp in both legs simultaneously, which caused me to fall over immediately as if I'd been shot, letting out a loud-pitched scream, and literally rolling over the finish line in front of a small crowd of people.

    Took a few seconds for people to realize what had happened and start laughing at my expense, while I had to wait for the cramp to recede enough that I could actually manage to stand up and slink away to hide my shame.

    Speaking of triathlons, the championship distance (IRONMAN) started in Hawaii when some one decided to combine an existing rough water swim, a bike race around the perimeter of oahu and the Honolulu maraton.

    So I move to Kona from Seattle in the early 80s and a month or two later I get a chance to work at an aids tation and hand out water bottles to the bikers. You had to sprint along side them and seamlessly hand them the bottle so they didn't have to slow down (much).

    I had a grand time while thinking hey this isn't too hard. Also, as others tired out (and the last bikers came through), it seemed like my fellow volunteers were content to let me handle the water for most of the riders that weren't in a group.

    I cramped up BADLY while in the Condo hot tub later that night and someone asked me if I participated in the triathlon that day.

    Well.........................................................................................................................., I handed out water bottles.

    A couple of years ago at a CrossFit competition I failed to clean 260lbs. Little did I know, I only needed to hit 255 to get 3rd in that event. (Max clean and 2 front squats) I didn’t need to make the jump from 250 to 260. It was humiliating. I’ll never forget that one, that’s for sure.

    This explains so much.
    Hurtful. I try to post stories and little vignettes that I think people here would find entertaining and amusing. I work hard at it. I really do. I’m out here working my tail off. Then I get this crap. It really takes the wind out of my sails, to be quite honest.
    It’s hard

    When I was 5 and played divegrass my cleat was untied and I went to kick the ball as hard as I could to score. Missed the ball completely and my cleat flew like 20 yards.
