flannj Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 On the anniversary of one of the greatest meltdowns in sports history. I lifted this directly from one of my favorite Baseball blogs, Desipio.com . Do not click on the link if you are even slightly offended by profanity. You have been warned. I'm serious... lots of bad language. Really... I'm not kidding. "Twenty-five years. Its been 25 years since Lee Elia lost his mind in the managers office at Wrigley Field and unleashed one of the most profane, vile, hilarious and entertaining rants of all time. A rant so infamous that when Jay Johnstone published it word-for-word in his autobiography, it got the book banned." http://www.desipio.com/images/media/eliatirade.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start your reply before it is fully loaded it will not format properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's not ONE of the greatest meltdowns in sports history - it is THE greatest meltdown in sports history. I remember that like it was yesterday. This got played on WLS's morning show with Larry Lujack and Tommy Edwards in a near continuous loop for over a month. This beat anything those two ever did on "Animal Stories". "85% of you have jobs.....the rest come out here." LOL. Just PRICELESS. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....................
