Wally Backman Is Billy Martin, Minus the MLB Manegerial job and resemblance to John Turturro

After a year that included multiple suspensions, former 6 day manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Wally Backman resigned from South Georgia Peanuts coaching duties on Tuesday. As the Lion in Oil chronicles, his productive tenure wasn't without incident.

It would have been fun to have him around a big league club for a season or two. Soundbite heaven.
