Lee Elia passed away this week at the age of 88. With a break in the action, this may be a perfect time to revisit the greatest managerial rant of all time: Wrigley Field; April 29, 1983; edited for space … and multiple F-bombs.
'Those [bleepin'] fans who come out. They're supposed to be behind you.
'I'll tell you, I hope we got [bleepin'] hotter than [bleep], just to stuff it up them 3,000 [bleepin'] fans.
'They can kiss my [bleepin'] ass.
'The mother[bleepers] don't work. That's why they're at the [bleepin'] game.
'They oughta go out and get a [bleepin'] job; find out what it's like to earn a [bleepin'] living.
'Eighty-five percent of the [bleepin'] world is working. The other 15 percent come out here. We got guys bustin' it, and they boo. We're 5-14.

MLB honors Hank Aaron with recreation of record 715th homer during All-Star Game
ATLANTA (AP) — Major League Baseball honored late Hall of Famer Hank Aaron by recreating his record-breaking 715th home run through the use of projection mapping and pyrotechnics. The lights went down at Truist Park and fans stood holding their cell phone lights following the sixth inning of Tuesday night's All-Star Game. The scene from April 8, 1974 at old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was projected on the infield and also shown on the video board. The high-tech images of Aaron and other players were seen on the Truist Park infield before a blaze of a fireball launched from home plate to signify the homer that pushed Aaron past Babe Ruth's record of 714 homers. Aaron's widow, Billye Aaron, stood and waved as the cheers from the sellout crowd of 41,702 grew louder. NL players warmed up for the game in batting practice jerseys with Aaron's No. 44 on the back One year ago, MLB celebrated the 50th anniversary of Aaron's homer with announcements for a new statue at Baseball's Hall of Fame and a commemorative stamp from the U.S. Postal Service. Also, Commissioner Rob Manfred helped honor Aaron in Atlanta last year by joining the Braves in announcing the $100,000 endowment of a scholarship at Tuskegee University, a historically Black university in Aaron's home state of Alabama. Manfred noted the Henry Louis Aaron Fund, launched by the Braves following Aaron's death in 2021, and the Chasing the Dream Foundation, created by Aaron and his were designed to clear paths for minorities in baseball and to encourage educational opportunities. Aaron hit 755 home runs from 1954-76, a mark that stood until Barry Bonds reached 762 in 2007 during baseball's steroid era. Aaron was elected to the Hall in 1982. A 25-time All-Star, he set a record with 2,297 RBIs. He continues to hold the records of 1,477 extra-base hits and 6,856 total bases. ___ AP MLB:
