You've probably seen the pictures and video of the Mets fan in a Gary Carter jersey who joined the celebration of Johan Santana's no-hitter (which didn't sit well with folks in St. Louis) last Friday night. Well, that moment of glory for the fan didn't come without a price. Forget the time in jail or the fine he'll have to pay: The guy ended up missing his son's first birthday because he was in the slammer. One more note from the no-hitter: We got a classic "Bizarre Injury of the Day" out of it, as Mets pitcher Ramon Ramirez injured his hamstring while celebrating.
