It's been 25 years and he still hears about it everywhere he goes:
A man had approached the then-Tampa Bay hitting coach at the meet-and-greet, eager to talk to Elia about his infamous profanity-laced tirade from years earlier. "I tried to politely tell the guy, 'No,'" Elia said. "I suggested we talk about something else."
But the man in a perfectly pressed suit and flattop haircut wouldn't listen. He had something for Elia to hear. See, he was a sales manager in the area with a staff of 50 employees. And on the first Tuesday of every month, he told Elia, he kicked off his sales meeting by playing a recording of the former Chicago Cubs manager's volcanic eruption.
"He said it pumped his guys up," Elia said. "It would energize all these guys to go out and make record sales. And he just wanted to meet me and say thank you. I couldn't believe it."
