Lee Elia, a former major league player and coach who was managing the Chicago Cubs in 1983 when he famously criticized the team’s fans in a memorable postgame rant, has died. He was 87. The Philadelphia Phillies said Elia died on Wednesday.

Elia was let go before the end of the season, and his Cubs tenure ended with a record of 127-158. The Philadelphia native Elia later managed the Phillies for parts of the 1982 and for part of the 1983 season and went on to resume a distinguished career as a coach in the majors, including several years with the Seattle Mariners .
