What is the best manager or player melt down you have witnessed? I'm sure Sparky and Sweet Lou will get some votes, but there have been many others throughout recorded baseball history. The crazier, nuttier, wackier the better.

I was always a huge George Brett fan, so his comeplete freak out after the pine-tar incident was allways a good one for me.

We couldn't run the ball we didn't try to run the ball, we couldn't complete a pass we couldn't make a first down..we sucked

I once saw a Hal McGrae video when he went off on the KC press. He was throwing everything he saw! :yikes:

Ask former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda about his opinion of Dave Kingman's performance. Priceless.

A thread about "Best Manager Freak-Out's" with no mention of Earl Weaver? Disgraceful.;)

Lou Brown.

Probably won the pennant with that tirade. I know this isn't an Indians board, but ..........
