With his team trailing 4-1 in the fifth inning at Tiger Stadium, Steve Lyons of the Chicago White Sox reaches base on a lead-off bunt single. Sliding headfirst ahead of Dan Petry’s tag, Lyons gets up, forgets where he is, and takes down his pants, drawing laughter and catcalls from the crowd. The blooper would be shown everywhere as the White Sox lost the game to the Detroit Tigers 5-4.
