Jim Harbaugh is a crazy dude. If you've ever seen him standing on the sideline coaching the 49ers, then you already know that.
1.
But even for a guy like Harbaugh, this next story is pretty freaking nuts.
Recently, the Niners leader sat down with the San Jose Mercury News to talk about a variety of different things. And during the course of the interview, Harbaugh admitted that, back when he was 5, he was so excited about getting an autograph from a Cleveland Indians player that he decided to pee his pants rather than get out of line and miss out on the opportunity. Yes, you read that right. He peed his pants—on purpose!—for an autograph.
"I had to go to the bathroom really bad," he said. "So I had to make a decision: Me and my brother were like 20 people from actually being able to go on to the field and take a picture with [the player] right by the first-base bag. And it was either go to the bathroom and not get a picture, or do it right there in my pants. So I chose to go in my pants."
A few questions that come to mind after hearing Harbaugh's tale:
- His brother couldn't hold his spot in line while he ran to the bathroom?
- His parents didn't yank him out of the line once they realized what he'd done?
- Who was the Indians player that had young Jim Harbaugh so excited?
- IS HE CRAZY?
We don't know the answer to the first three questions. But the answer to the fourth one is a resounding "YES." Jim Harbaugh is crazy and this is just further proof of that.
