The Madness of a Baseball Manager

On June 1st of last week, Phillip Wellman, manager of the Mississippi Braves, a Southern League baseball team, was ejected from a game after arguing a call. Wellman suddenly threw a shocking and humorous tantrum, highlighted by his imitation of a soldier throwing a grenade; in this case it was a rosin bag thrown at an umpire!

The incident was broadcasted by sports programs across the U.S. Wellman has been given a three day suspension, effective June 4th.

Not touching the YouTube, but recently in the Majors and the minors, there have been a number of managers that have been going buckwild and are getting suspended because of it. There's one I think that's been suspended indefinately.

Also Peabody, why do you hate my Sports Hustle thread so? I'm just saying that this should go there is all.
Peace.

And this is only a sliver of the reason I hate baseball. Boy that grenade thing was hilarious though.

I wondered what that was about the first time I saw it on the news. When I saw the clip in its entirety I realized he was imitating a soldier sneaking up on an enemy, then throwing the grenade. You've got to give him credit for originality.
