From a local newspaper:

Wellman, a former member of the Reds organization, managed Chattanooga in 1999 and from 2001-03. Adam Dunn played for him and broke off a phone call to his former skipper when he first heard about the incident.

"I talked to him and said, 'What a freaking idiot,'" Dunn said laughing. "That's him. People look at it and say, 'That's staged.' It's so not staged. That's what he does. He yelled at us in the locker room one day, and it was just like that, exactly like that. I seriously thought he was going to hurt himself."





I'm glad the suspension wasn't too harsh.

they had a few other minor league coaches on ESPN last night talking about this guy, they said this wasn't even his best...he's had better blowups and blowups are pretty standard with this guy..


One guy told of a story where he went around the basepath sliding head first into every base

Is there a reason as to why your sports preferences are based on the physical appearance of the players?

yes but not in the way that you are implying

i enjoy games with a faster pace. a fat guy can excel in football or baseball because the average play only lasts a few seconds. too many stoppages in play for my liking.
