LEE ELIA TIRADE
On April 29, 1983, during Lee Elia's tenure as the Cubs' manager, the Cubs suffered a one-run home loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. After the game, he lashed out at Cubs fans for their fair weather support of the team. (Their consistent booing and heckling at Wrigley completely unnerved Elia.) A member of the press secretly recorded this "off-the-record" session with reporters.Tags: lee elia chicago cubs tirade press conference dodgers april 29 1983 wrigley field bleacher bums baseball |
