Wichita Wingnuts manager chose the right team

Because he’s a little nuts.

I actually saw this guy get into a minor scuffle with a home plate umpire at a Fort Worth Cats game last week. The Cats have a tradition of standing and cheering until the hometown pitcher gets his first strike.

Well, in this particular game the pitcher’s first pitch was called a strike, though it was clearly low.

The manager in the video above, Kash Beauchamp, went out and had a word with the umpire after the batter got done expressing his disapproval. Beauchamp wasn’t ejected, though the umpire got pretty pissed.

Therefore, seeing this on CNN this morning didn’t really surprise me.

I also write for Examiner.com and run the Texas Rangers Examiner site. This one pays me, per page view. So visit it if you feel compelled.
