Watch a medley of epic baseball manager tantrums
Baseball's devotees can always cite one piece of evidence to argue their sport is the best: the manager meltdown. Football coaches are tethered by their headsets, hockey coaches are stuck behind the boards, and basketball coaches spend all game raging anyway.
So nothing can compare the dirt-kicking, cap-hurling, base-throwing antics when a manager really loses it, as this compilation by ESPN in honor of the fifth anniversary of minor league skipper Phillip Wellman's world-record theatrics. Alas, the stars are golden oldies like Lou Piniella, Billy Martin and Earl Weaver -- which suggests mode-day managers really need to step up their games.
What's the best manager meltdown you've seen?
