Lee Elia, known for managing the Cubs and Phillies during a decades-long career (and for an epic, expletive-filled postgame rant), has died.

A beloved former baseball player, coach and manager who also won a World Series has sadly passed away. On Wednesday, former Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies manager Lee Elia passed away. He was 87 years old and just one week away from his birthday.

It’s been about 100 years since this party took place at 122 S. Brainard St. in the mid-1920s, but it would seem only the fashion has changed given that we still celebrate birthdays with cake and candles.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson was understandably emotional and had a tough time putting words together when talking about long-time coach/manager Lee Elia, who passed away Wednesday at the age of 87. Wi
