Minor League Spotlight is the MLB FanHouse's look into baseball's minor leagues. But you probably figured that out already.
Many players use the independent leagues to try and get noticed by a big league organization. Some managers are likely trying to do the same thing. Give Kash Beauchamp of the Wichita Wingnuts credit, then, for getting himself some major publicity. His tantrum is sure to live forever alongside Phillip Wellman and Joe Mikulik, the established masters of the form.
I'm fairly certain more than one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates broke down into mayhem when Lincoln offered his sweaty armpit as a retort for Douglas's support of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Beauchamp described the tirade as an out of body experience.

"It's weird -- it just comes out of nowhere, the ejections and stuff. When I'm gone, (my brain is) gone. All I know is somehow I ended up in my socks. I don't even know how I got into my socks. I was looking for my shoes and I had no idea where they were."He's been suspended four games by the American Association. Beauchamp's short fuse may keep him from reaching a big league dugout but that umpire showed me something. Staying so calm amid Beauchamp's malodourous assault may mean he's got the nose for the show.
