Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

:lol:

Any instance of a player smashing his racquet - grabbing a new one - and smashing that as well. Now that would top all. :P

On the subject of tantrums, this minor league baseball manager throws one of the all-time best.

The umps don't dare touch those crazed baseball managers - too dangerous.

This guy may top the other (watch long enough for the grenade toss). Too funny.

as a baseball player, the grenade one gets my vote for the best :D

while we are on the topic of baseball, i remember 2 years ago when my team was losing int the district finals, and all of a sudden as we were walking off the field, 2 players get into it.

That develops into a bench and bullpen clearing brawl, and soon fans were coming onto the field to get a piece! Now that is how you go out.

I will say that i got a few good shots in. 8)

How is baghdatis' racket smashes not in here. He breaks one in a sealed bag. Or he just took it out but it was just brand new and he did it while sitting down, that's efficiency.

Baseball fights/arguments are usually awesome. It's almost like a tradition for coaches/managers to scream at umps from an inch in front of their face.
