moon landing was televised… for the second time.
On an otherwise unremarkable mid-July Monday night in Detroit’s Tiger Stadium in 1990, the hometown Tigers won in walk-off fashion behind future Baseball Hall of Famer Alan Trammell‘s 2-run 9th innning homer. That might have been the only noteworthy thing to occur during the game if it were not for Chicago White Sox utility player Steve Lyons. Lyons, whose nickname during his 9-season MLB career was “Pyscho” was bunting for a single in the 5th inning and slid headfirst into first base. And then, inexplicably, he dropped his pants before the nearly 15,000 fans in the stands to shake out the dirt he took on during the slide.
