At first, it could be anyone’s coach, but at about the one minute mark it becomes very clear that this is your coach. (NSFW language, ladies.)
They can’t all be Coaches Taylor, shaping boys into MEN and taking life as it comes because they know there’s no other way to take it. Sometimes they are this guy, having an embarrassing baby-tantrum* that ends with a desperate, breathless request for fingernail clippers. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t stop laughing at this ridiculous clown. (Thanks for the tip, Benjamin.)
*Does anyone else find it incredibly convenient that the coach is mic’ed and the camera focuses on him from the very beginning? It is almost as if this is staged, but that can’t possibly be the case, since no one ever fakes freak-outs for YouTube. They are all natural and real, for sure. http://www.metstoday.com/4616/mets-2010-games/quote-of-the-day-lets-go-get-a-beer-doc/

Nothing makes a situation go from bad to worse like these guys . . . Amirite coach?
Wally tried to turn the engine, but the engine didn’t turn.
This is an outtake from a documentary show called “Playing for Peanuts.” Hence the microphone.
Actually, its a preview clip from season 24 of Eastbound and Down, coming summer 2038.
I think I saw a movie about that umpire once.
This is probably the ugliest thing I’ve ever created. I feel like Dr. Frankenstein right now.
I saw that the screen cap was baseball and almost didn’t watch because I didn’t want to fall back asleep(in your face, baseball). But it was worth it if only to see Wally call the ump a pipsqueak.
Wow. Ghost town in here when there’s a sports clip. Everybody all like, why are they outside? Is that grass? Is that what grass looks like? Wally Backman, you guys. 86 Mets. Out.
Monsters know what grass is… TRUST ME on this one…
I was going to MS Paint your avatar’s face on to Bob Marley’s face, and then put a tiny spliff in there somewhere, but then I thought that it ultimately wouldn’t be worth the 20 minutes it would take me. Just imagine it, everyone.
Why use MS Paint when you have real photos?
Ah, yes. The great Wally Backman.
From Sports Illustrated 4/11/05: “Oct. 7, 2001. On that night, according to the Prineville police incident report, Backman threatened to kill his wife, broke down the door to his house and then used a baseball bat to assault one of the other terrified women inside.”
Clear eyes, 80′s moustache, can’t catch a f*cking break. F*cking pipsqueaks.
I am somewhat of an aficionado of baseball coach meltdowns and this is a really good one. This guy gives Al Swearengen a run for his money.
I thought it was a little lazy. I mean, that was the most half-hearted dirt-covering of the plate that I’ve ever seen and the bat-tossing was most an afterthought. For being in the right (that first ejection was bull) he didn’t really go with it hard enough for my taste.
His rage was all on the inside. His old and out of shape body couldn’t convey that.
I like that the team is just sitting there cool as a cucumber with their shades, that is how you react to a freakout everyone else on youtube
Oh, Wally Backman. As a Mets fan, this makes me more embarrassed than even Mets fans usually get… dude is managing the Brooklyn Cyclones now? Geez.
Though the absolute best baseball manager rant of all time is Lee Elia’s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diqm0GMFFYI
That is a great rant, but I’ve always been partial to nonverbal insanity:

Is Wally short of Walliam or Asshole?
Sexman’s dad really had it coming though guys. We all know Aquaman would have never thrown those bats and balls on the field.
I think Wally Backman played for the last good Pirates team in 1992. Since that time the Pirates have been unable to produce a winning season. Yes, the Pirates have a 17 year losing streak. Are you picking up what I am putting down? Pittsburgh needs to hire Wally Backman as manager of the team.
Oh my god, at 3:50 when “Why Can’t We Be Friends” starts playing–ESTOY MUERTO.
Why did this get thumbsed (word? maybe a word? not a word? YOU be the judge!) down? Because I said “I’M DEAD” in Spanish?
Maybe we have some monsters from Arizona?
AH’M DAYUD FRUM LAFFIN. is this better, guys. come ON SONS.
Hay solamente un monstruo de Arizona aqui, y yo voto “thumbs up” por ignition remix.
i’m just glad he was so courteous to that catcher. get out of the way catcher, i’m about to start throwing bats at you!
Here’s a truly weird interview with a fan at the game that has a long break for her to vibe to a t-pain jam. The money moment is at 2:20.

Here’s the full webseries this is taken from. There’s a bunch more episodes about this specific incident, including alternate camera angles! http://blip.tv/file/2856053
