    I wish he was the still the D-backs manager. They only give him 2 days to turn that team around.

    Was this a spoof? If not, it illustrates why the D-Backs fired this guy after 2 days...no class..

    It's legit. It's from a documentary on an independent league ball club, the South Georgia Peanuts.


    BTW grote, that guy with "no class" is coaching Mets minor leaguers in Brooklyn right now....

    Sounds like he went overboard knowing he was mike'd up..throwing all the equipment on the field like that was really bush league for a guy who's complaining about the lack of professionalism in the league in the other clip..

    Edit: I know Wally well from his days as a Met in the 80s, but his affiliation with the Mets doesn't excuse behavior like that..he was a sparkplug then (with Dykstra) and the Mets were known for starting lots of fights everywhere they went back then, but as a manager you got to maintain some level of self control if you want to set an example for your the younger players..
