In 1984, Mary Decker tripped over Zola Budd's bare feet and fell during the Olympic Women's 3000 meter Final.

In 1953, Lew Worsham dropped a shot into the cup from the fairway for an eagle and a win. It was a TV first.

In 2014, Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson allowed Rory McIlroy to hit into them on the 18th green at the PGA Championship so he could finish on Sunday rather than coming back to finish up on Monday due to darkness.

Also in 2014, the world was introduced to the amazing pitching of 13-year old Mo'ne Davis.
