- ja1217, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I think one of the manliest moments in baseball was when Nolan Ryan beat the crap out of a guy that tried to charge him after he was beaned
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2GuHjhWF8w (The last one in the clip) - diggleague, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25Nate Robinson (5' 7") is the 2nd shortest player in the NBA, and Yao Ming (7' 6") is the Tallest. That block by Robinson is the most manly thing not only to happen in sports, but probably the most manliest thing ever.

- deanbrooks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I don't see why we can't go back to the gladatorial matches like ancient Rome had. That was an exciting time to be a fan.
- bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Maurice "Mo" Cheeks, April 25, 2003. The night he stepped up and helped young Natalie Gilbert finish singing the National Anthem after she forgot the lyrics. Now THAT'S manly.

Amazingly, he returned to practice 4 days later. - imants, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Get subtle jokes much?
- mamluk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Rugby- Wayne Shelford of the New Zealand All-Blacks had his scrotum ripped open and one of his balls was dangling freely. He called over the team doctor, had him sew it up and went back onto the pitch to finish off the match.
I don't think anything anyone has listed is more manly than that. - CannedMango, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Ok, I'm sorry but those hockey moments sucked!
Here's an article from http://mapleleafslegends.blogspot.com/2007/02/bob-baun.html about a REAL manly moment in hockey....
Bob Baun
Bobby Baun's playoff heroics are what the Stanley Cup is all about.
With 10 minutes left in the sixth game of the 1964 finals between the Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings, Bobby Baun fearlessly sacrificed his body, sliding down onto the ice to block a Gordie Howe shot. The heavy shot bounced off Baun’s foot at exactly the worst spot, breaking a bone in Baun's ankle. He was carried away on a stretcher and he should have seen his season to come to an end.
But he didn't.
In one of the most courageous and famous moments in hockey history, Baun returned to the lineup in the very same game. The game had gone into over time, and Baun refused to go to the hospital. Instead he was given painkillers and had his ankle taped tightly, and returned for the extra period of play.
Just a couple of minutes into the over time, Baun became a hero of legendary proportions. Baun picked up a failed Detroit clearing attempt at the blueline and directed a shot on the Detroit goal. It deflected off of Detroit defenseman Bill Gadsby and over Terry Sawchuk and into the net, forcing game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals!!
There was no way Baun would miss game 7. He refused to allow doctors to examine his ankle. He suffered in severe pain but knew if doctors looked at it he would be forced to sit in the biggest game of a professional hockey player's career. He didn't miss a shift that game as the Leafs won 4-0 and tasted champagne from Lord Stanley's Cup. - ArtificialAnus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7There's a comment on the bottom of that article about a rugby player named Wayne Shelford who had four teeth knocked out, and then got his nuts partially torn off, had them sewn back on, and then CONTINUED THE GAME.
Quote from wikipedia:
"...he suffered a ripped scrotum after being rucked by a French player, which left one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth during the ruck. After discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field and played out the rest of the game..."

Now THAT is manly.
AA - mrlost117, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8does you means the grammar???
- kmedlin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5baseball's manliest player is the unassisted triple play.
The last one occurred, I believe, on 8/10/2003
Courtesy of retrosheet.com :
SLN200308100 6/LTP.2X2(6);1X1(6) 6*-6*-6*
8/10/2003 Atlanta Braves @ St. Louis Cardinals - Bottom of the 5th - Score 1-1 (2 men on: Orlando Palmeiro 1B, Mike Matheny
2B)
Woody Williams (SLN) is the batter with a 1-1 count. He hits a hard line drive directly to the SS, Rafael Furcal (OUT 1)
SS tags the runner caught off second, Mike Matheny (OUT 2)
SS chases down and tags the runner coming from first, Orlando Palmeiro (OUT 3)
NOTE: UNASSISTED TRIPLE PLAY - ja1217, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@mrlost117
How many times have you seen a pitcher (much less and old pitcher, Nolan Ryan was in his late 30's I believe when this happened and the guy that charged was a rookie) completely destroy the person that charges the mound. Generally, they have to rely on the rest of the team to bail them out, as seen in some of the other clips. - mlvassallo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That is probably one of the greatest moments in sports history.
- Neme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I love it how they completely disregard football and rugby--I suppose if they decided to cover European sports, they'd be at it for hours. ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Rugby period.
- beerthirty7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5What about John Daly on the Tour with a Marlboro Red hanging out of his mouth and stumbling because he's still drunk from the night before (where he just lost $100,000 playing blackjack)? That's pretty ***** manly if you ask me.
- cfdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Baseball: I can't remember the game but a player dislocated his shoulder and on network tv flung his arm back to pop the shoulder back in place.. that was straight up Manly. Someone please remember this and post a clip if you can find it.
- sc0ticus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Where are the rugby moments? Surely the most manly moments of all sports came from rugby.
- thefaithful, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Where's the Rugby?
- Wonkanobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How about that playoff game where Jordan was sick?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Anyone who played football in 1905—In 1905, 18 football players died from injuries sustained during games. They probably should have worn helmets. Just saying
now those where warriorrs, not like todais pussified padded up monsters of grid iron hahahahahahahahha - quantumHobbit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What about distance running? My coach in high school told me about a guy eho ran a 3-mile race with a hernia. Every 1/4 mile or so he would stop stuff his intestines back and then continue running.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"I don't see why we can't go back to the gladatorial matches like ancient Rome had. That was an exciting time to be a fan."
Yeah... especially when Nero (or Caligula...I can't remember which) was in power. When they'd run out of combatants, they'd have fans dragged out of the stands to compete (read: play chew toy for a lion). It'd be REAL exciting to be a fan if you ended up being next in the arena.
[sarc] - ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Tucker's hit on Kapanen almost made up for the overtime winner Roenick scored.
...
almost. That was a sad day for Leaf's nation.
One might also argue that Tucker went low on purpose to take out Kovalev but Kovalev bowled over him with more force than expected. - SanTe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, you are exactly right. When they instituted a helmet rule they grandfathered in current players, much like existing spitball pitchers in the major leagues were allowed to continue throwing them after that pitch was banned.
- deweyhewson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Here's what he's referring to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAmKppkDVBA - twinmatrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3How bout MMA
Fedor vs Randleman - http://youtube.com/watch?v=REQ0ZARQAo8
Kevin Ranleman picks Fedor up and suplexes him onto the back of his head. What dose Fedor do? Rolls over and beats Randleman with a Kimura. - linkwray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Golf and tennis have no business being in an article about manliness.
- datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah if that is true it gets my vote as the manliest moment in sports history.
- shin_en, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How do you talk about manliest men without mentioning Dick Hoyt!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flRvsO8m_KI - imants, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Muggsy Bogues (5'3") blocked a shot by Patrick Ewing (7'1") once.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5hd-RJUHIg - atcdev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How about winning an Olympic gold medal in the 1500m freestyle with a collapsed lung?
Grant Hackett did in 2004.

- tomtucker378, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3did anyone see the first comment on the article. some dude losing a testicle during a rugby match, getting sewn up and returning to the game. that NUTS!! get it? NUTS!
- 3tcp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pete Sampras is hardcore.
- loveandrockets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's with the old-timers Gordie Howe and another guy in that video playing without helmets? Were they allowed to play without? The others are wearing helmets. Is it some sort of grandfather clause that old-timers get to play without headgear? (I don't follow hockey obviously. But curious.)
- mattxb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What about Curt Shilling pitching against the Yankees with blood soaking through his ankle?
- tehperil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Agreed - playing golf with an upset stomach is nothing like what goes in week-in week-out in a game of rugby. Hell even football (soccer) has its moments of awesome manliness - Bert Trautmann playing the FA Cup final with a broken neck, or England's Terry Butcher playing against Sweden with a head wound: (picture: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/katsuben/Terry-Butcher-Sweden.jpg)
- hockeysmurf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was gross !!
- cliffordmerkel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Good. But not for me, definitely
- coreydoucorey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Thanks! It makes me bored. http://artriver.blogspot.com
- notmark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Didn't he have a fever of, like, 104 that game?
- datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That just made me cringe. Yikes.
- demizu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Wonderful! Even if it's not true it is quite a nice idea.
- gibler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Indeed. Wayne "Buck" Shelford got his scrotum ripped in a game, got it stitched up and played on (ah someone has mentioned it already)
A fight btween an aussie and kiwi on the sidelines after both rugby league players got sent off together is also a highlight. - mvannatter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Dugg. Things like this happen everywhere.
