Coolest Manager EVER.

I’ve had some interesting coaches in my years playing baseball.  But none quite as interesting or entertaining as the Braves AA Manager, Phillip Wellman.

This guy’s meltdown the other day is one of the classiest displays of anger I’ve ever seen. 

Covering the entirety of home plate with dirt is good.  Throwing your hat at the umpire and getting within millimeters of his face is good.  Pulling out the bases and throwing them into the outfield is great.

But crawling behind the mound as if you’re at war, picking up the rosin bag, and then throwing it like a grenade at the umpire?

That is greatness, my friends.

True greatness.

This man is my absolute hero.
