RIP Lee Elia.

Former Cubs manager in 80s and shortstop in the 60s.
Here's his epic rant after the Cubs lost to the Dodgers .
Cubs fans were heckling the team as they left the field
with one idiot firing a beer at Keith Moreland.
Can't say I blame him.

Both big papers had it on the front page!
Local news sports segments barely covered the teams' happenings for a few days.
He was gone before the season was over.
