I wonder if, when talking about crying in the third inning, he was talking about his time managing the Angels.

I wonder if, when talking about crying in the third inning, he was talking about his time managing the Angels.

 

September 4, 1999

 

Terry Collins bid a tearful farewell to the Angels Friday, resigning as the team's manager while two of his superiors lashed out at the bickering players who essentially cost Collins his job.

Having exhausted all efforts to motivate an underachieving club that started the day 28 games out of first place, Collins said during a press conference at Edison Field that he decided to step down after a lengthy meeting with General Manager Bill Bavasi Friday morning.

I attended the game the day that Collins was fired. I remember the crowd buzzing when Joe Maddon took the lineup card out to the umpires, then I heard from a guy with a radio what had happened.

Larry Bowa was the madman on that staff.
