Complex says: The O.G. of manager ejections held the record (97) until it was broken by Bobby Cox in 2002. Classic line: "You're here for one reason, to fuck us good!" Ayo!

Complex says: Many sympathized and forgave umpire Jim Joyce after he screwed up Armando Galaraga's perfect game earlier this season. But fuck all that so-called "class," we would've loved to see Sweet Lou's reaction.

Complex says: The whole tirade began after Roger Clemens' son, Kolby, was called safe at second base. In baseball anything involving controversy x small balls (II) is probably linked to the Clemens family.

Complex says: The former Met and 1986 World Series champion was hired as manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2004, but was fired before ever coaching a game after past financial and legal troubles surfaced. Yup, dude still seems kind of salty. We think we found Jerry Manuel's replacement. You reading, Omar?

Complex says: Tatham didn't like the ball being called outside so he gave the ump a strike—to the face, that is.

League: Minor league

Complex says: Many thought this meltdown would cost Wellman his job, but it actually gained him national attention. The Mississippi Braves won the title the very next season. Some shit is so crazy that it ends up being genius.

Complex says: You think becoming a senior citizen made Sweet Lou any less gully? Peep how quickly outfielder Angel Pagan and the third base coach back off to let Piniella ride on the ump.

Complex says: This dude tried to swagger-jack Phillip Wellman, but was out of a job by the end of the season. Not all crazy-ass promotion strategies are genius...

Complex says: VanAsselberg? Really, shit is too easy.

Complex says: When opposing fans are cheering you on during your ejection, you know you're an O.G. After being thrown out of 158 games, you deserve it, Bobby Cox. Salute!
