The manager of the Wichita Wingnuts went nuts over an umpire's balls and strikes calls.Kash Beauchamp stormed in from the third base coaching box during the second game of a Wednesday double-header. He took off his shoe, waved it in the umpire's face and slammed the shoe to the ground. But he wasn't done.
To show just how much he thought the call stunk, Beauchamp showed the ump his armpit.
As an encore, he used bat weights to tell the ump he needs binoculars.
The major league meltdown was almost as funny as the one last season by Mississippi Braves manager Phillip Wellman. Wellman dropped on his belly and pantomimed a military crawl to the pitcher's mound, where he picked up the rosin bag. He pretended it was a grenade, pulled an imaginary pin with his teeth and launched it toward the home-plate umpire.
The clip (see below) got over a million hits on YouTube.com and was voted one of 2007's top Weird News stories in Mississippi

LOL. I can understand though, if the umpire does not know the rules of the game then they should not disgrace the game by attempting to umpire it. I support these managers in stading up for their teams. Nuts or not….....
