Lee Elia Remembers Wrigley Field Tirade Fondly

Braves assistant hitting instructor Lee Elia -- okay, Assistant to the Regional Hitting Instructor -- is 73 and a Baseball Man through and through, yet his legacy will always be something that happened 28 years ago when he was managing the Chicago Cubs ...

↵↵Lee Elia is telling a story and keeping it clean.

↵“Pulled the tape out of a drawer about three, four years ago,” he said. “Hadn’t heard it since it happened. Me and my wife sat there and listened to it, about 10 o’clock in the morning over a cup of coffee. We couldn’t stop laughing. Of course, every place I go I get my ass kicked over it.”

↵He stopped.

↵“Hey, can you not write that word?”

↵↵It’s definitely worth reading Jeff Schultz’s whole story, and you gotta love the “AND PRINT IT!” collectible pictured within. But if you’re tired of reading and ready to give your skull jelly a rest, just listen to this (but definitely NSFW!).
