Billy Martin

On this date in 1981, Billy Martin of the A's flies into a rage and heaves two handfuls of dirt on home plate umpire Terry Cooney after being ejected for arguing balls and strikes. He will be suspended for seven games.

That is a marvelous holiday greeting. Fitting, since he died on Christmas.
