Former Birmingham Barons Manager Wally Backham Goes Ape-S*#t

Featured Replies

Amusing but he went too far throwing all that crap on the field.

Saw this a couple of days ago; very entertaining.

Agreed, the only thing that was missing was wishing the other team luck and telling them he hopes they make the playoffs.

Some great quotes in there...

 

"Catcher, get out of the way!"

"Let's go have a beer Doc"

 

This guy coulda been our manager! haha

He actually went up in the press box and threatened to beat up a broadcaster who criticized him for this.

He was a finalist when Ozzie was hired right? That would have been a disaster.

Yawn...he did that all time here. His brand of small ball that the Barons played under him was dubbed "Wally Ball."

When he left the field, I wonder if anyone on the team said, "Hey! Bring Wally back....man!"

I think he was fired before he got a chance.

 

The guy is a total ass. Wasn't he a big league manager for about a day?

 

He did a great job in Birmingham.

He was the D-backs manager for a minute, wasn't he?

Pick that s*** up you piece of s***!

 

 

That was awesome.

hahaaa...I love Wally Backman! Yes...for about 3 or 4 days he was manager of the DBags and a NY paper wrote a story about he was arrested a couple times (one on a domestic dispute and the other a DUI)...and that he had some serious financial problems. BFD. DBags really dropped the ball on this one IMO. I always thought the guy deserved a second chance.

I don't think they did. The guy is a jerk.

 

Put that in your f***ing report, you little f***ing pipsqueek! Let's go have a beer, Doc.
