Briefly played in the majors, best known for delivering the greatest rant ever recorded by any coach/manager in any sport, when managing the Cubs in 1983. Do yourself a favor if you've never listened to it.

Amazing. He was using a teleprompter BTW.
I agree with him about booing Totally.
I have never booed a hometown player. Even watching TV. Groan yes but boo never.
It was basketball not baseball but my favorite rant for its poetic beauty was Alan Iverson lamenting the exaggerated value of practice.
It was practice not a game not a game not a game ….
