Teams in minor league baseball will do just about anything to get attention.
From crazy looking uniforms to bobbleheads of former players, teams will do whatever it takes to put butts in the seats. Who knows, you might even get to see a manager go nuclear.
That's exactly what happened with Frisco RoughRiders manager Joe Mikulik.
Mikulik argued a call that didn't go his way in the top half of the eighth inning. The new slide rule came into play and Mikulik was not happy at all. He threw his helmet towards second base, that got him thrown out of the game. He then got in the umpire's face, yelling, and slid into second base to reenact what happened. Dude even took second base out of the ground and then drop kicked it. I have never seen anyone try to drop kick a base. I bet he regretted that choice once he made his way back to his office. It had to hurt.

This isn't the first time that Mikulik has melted down like this on the field. It certainly won't be his last.
