During tonight's baseball game in the Class A South Atlantic League between Asheville and Charleston, manager Joe Mikulik, who has been known for melting down before, had a major meltdown.

After a bad call at third base, you have to watch what he does. He grabs the base and hands it to a fan.

Great job by the first baseman to remove the pitcher from the situation and try to keep him focused

That was a different guy. This was Mikulik's first meltdown, the one where he basically makes a sand castle on home plate

I would have tried to leave with the bag as soon as he gave it to me. That's awesome

I like the one where the manager is microphone on. I can't find it but the dude flips out.

The Wally Backman stuff is great because he's mic'd.

My favorite part is when he has "Stevie" playing 3 different positions at once after his ejection. Great stuff.

At least he was nice enough to warn the catcher!

I was going to go to this game but it got delayed by an hour. Another funny moment at Charleston's ballpark.

He did the same thing six years ago in Lexington.

Crash Davis broke the minor league home run record playing for the tourists, correct?

Tony LaRussa threw a base into the stands in '85 when he was with the White Sox. Got a two-game suspension, giving Jim Leyland his first managerial experience.
