The date was June 1, 2007, and the man's name was Phillip Wellman. He was the manager for the Mississippi Braves, a AA baseball team for the Atlanta Braves organization. His starting pitcher was ejected for using a foreign substance. Wellman immediately lost his shite and had one of the most epic meltdowns in the history of professional sports:

The grenade toss is one of the greatest managerial moments in baseball history.

Five pitches into the game

Earl asked his pitcher, Mike Flanagan, if he balked. Flanagan said yeah, he thought so. "Well, frick you, too!"

Lou Pinella may not have the best one, but his catalog is the best imo. The way he’d toss his hat, jerked his head around, the faces he made, the antics etc. Just pure expression

Before clicking the thread, I ran through several contenders in my head.

I also landed on this one as the greatest.

That ump may be in the running for greatest handling of an ejected player / manager

What are you going to the HoF for…fricking up a World Series?

That was pretty good. My favorite meltdown is Hal McRae's post game meltdown where he loses his shite, starts throwing things and makes a reporter bleed. It's awesome because it starts off like a normal post game presser, gradually escalates to McRae, basically in his underwear, dropping F bombs, throwing reporter's recorders and microphones, then ends with McRae saying "put that in your f*cking pipe and smoke it".

Weaver piling dirt on home plate is my favorite ejection ever.

ETA: Weaver has a montage worth of ejections

But he did end up in the Hall of Fame. It took him 16 years and not the 10 years he told the ump he did.

That has to be tGOAT ejection

Ron Polk had some good ones back in the day. He got thrown out one game and the ump told him to “go where I can’t see you” so Polk went and stood on home plate the ump did not find it amusing

He said worse stuff than the Coastal Carolina coach.
