This is the most bizarre tantrum that I've ever seen by a coach.

Like someone else said, this is a pre-planned, premeditated act. I went to an umpiring clinic last fall and one of the instructors was a AA umpire for a few years. He said that Wellman did that stuff as a show for the fans and nothing else, and the umpires knew it. (I'm pretty sure he knew the umpires involved in that video) He also said Wellman left those guys a case of beer in their locker room afterward for "playing along".
