Classic Managerial Meltdown

Take a look at the video accompanying this article on a recent meltdown by Braves minor league manager Phillip Wellman. Awesome!

There are some old audio clips of meltdowns by Tommy Lasorda (on numerous occasions!), Lee Elia, and Tony LaRussa (among others) that are even better. There are also classy videos of, for example, Lloyd McClendon (referenced in the video I'm citing). Not to mention the classic dugout confrontation of Carlos Perez versus the water cooler...

Note added at 7:36 pm: I accidently called the manager "Paul Wellstone" earlier. Paul Wellstone is a former Congressman who I briefly mentioned as an example in one of my papers (that I just resubmitted).
