Mitch 'Wild Thing' Williams tossed from youth baseball game for calling umpire a motherf***** (REPORT)

MLB Network analyst Mitch Williams was tossed from a youth baseball game for profanely berating an umpire in front of horrified children and parents.

The former pitcher known as Wild Thing during his days with the Philadelphia Phillies reportedly called the umpire a ‘motherf****r’ during a furious rant in front of the teams made up of 10-years-olds, said witnesses.

Multiple sources told Deadspin Williams was coaching his son’s Cal Ripken youth team Saturday during a tournament in Maryland when he went on the pre-Mother's Day tirade.

Wild Thing was said to have been griping about balls and strikes the whole game from behind first base.

His constant complaints led to several arguments on the field that eventually culminated in his profanity-laced blowout after he "shouted something to a parent in the stands about getting that umpire fired," sources told Deadspin.

Another parent in attendance said the confrontation was "a train wreck," and that Williams had to be physically separated from the unnamed umpire.

"He went nuts. He got into the umpire’s face like it was the Major Leagues."

The hot-headed Williams then refused to leave the field and caused a 10 minute delay that led to him being banned from the entirety of the tournament. The ban was reportedly lifted after it was determined that the umpire had acted unprofessionally.

Williams eventually left the field but remained behind home plate to watch the rest of the game, said another witness. There were no further incidents.

Later, he took to Twitter to defend his actions after being taunted by a fan.

"To set the record straight. I was thrown out for laughing at a call. Then the [umpire] threatened to fight me. Said pick a time and place," Williams tweeted.

"For those that think I'm making this up. It is on film... and when he threatened me [one] of my coaches came out and put his hands on him," said Williams.

Williams also swore that video would vindicate him, but that footage was nowhere to be found. Curiously, it is curiously the only game in the entire tournament not able to be viewed online.

VIDEO: Mitch Williams goes off after Mets-Nationals goes extra innings

MLB Network analyst and former Philadelphia Phillies closer Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams wasn't too happy when the New York Mets-Washington Nationals game went into extra innings Thursday night.

After saying a few choice words and storming from the studio set, Williams yelled, "Extra baseball in spring training that's like extra tooth decay at the dentist."

Watch his reaction to the game, which was being aired on MLBN.



Williams admitted he had been on the set since 9 a.m. and just couldn't stand the the thought of "MLB Tonight" being pushed back for the exhibition game's finish.

The Mets and Nats ended the game after 10 innings still tied at 4-4.

Charlie Sheen Used Steroids for "Major League" Film Role

Charlie Sheen, the star of the classic 1989 baseball movie "Major League" admits in the new Sports Illustrated "Where Are They Now" issue that he used steroids to boost his fastball for the film, according to the New York Daily News.



Talk about method acting.  Is this what Sheen meant when he says Tiger Blood runs through his veins?

"Let's just say that I was enhancing my performance a bit," admits Sheen.  "It was the only time I ever did steroids.  I did them for like six or eight weeks.  You can print this, I don't give a f---.  My fastball went from 79 to like 85."

"Wild Thing" would have approved.

The actor carried over his portrayal of the wild and crazy "California Penal League" pitcher, Ricky Vaughn, from the film set to his personal down time during the shoot.

Sheen's character sported a lightning bolt haircut and, combined with Vaughn's nasty stuff on the mound and 'roid rage, made Wild Thing a cult figure and the most popular and enduring character in the movie about a down-and-out Cleveland Indians team.

The then-22-year-old Sheen said the character didn't make him a winner off the set and his juicing only intensified his rage.  Sheen said he stopped using the drug after the actor got into too many confrontations.

"I didn't like the haircut because it generated so many comments in bars.  I've got  enough of that already," said Sheen.  "Add that to the mix, and it's a recipe for a fistfight."

Drugs and Charlie Sheen, what a shock.  What no Goddesses?

And I thought Sheen's portrayal of a 'roid-raging pitcher was just good acting.
