Joe Maddon pulled out a classic bit to motivate his players out of a 12-game slump earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Yet nobody got to see it.<\/p>\n

Maddon, according to ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian, got a mohawk to surprise the Los Angeles Angels amid their 12-game losing skid last week. Before anyone could see the 68-year-old’s new haircut, he was fired.<\/p>\n

The timing is incredible and horrendous all at the same time – especially considering that general manager Perry Minasian presumably had to look at Maddon while he had the mohawk and fire him face-to-face moments after seeing the haircut for the first time.<\/p>\n

Very few people seem to have actually seen Maddon’s haircut and photos of it haven’t surfaced. By now, it’s almost certainly gone.<\/p>\n

The Angels’ losing skid snapped two days after Maddon was fired, and he seemed to take the news well, all things considered.<\/p>\n

“I’m doing really well. I mean that sincerely, don’t feel bad for me, \u201dMaddon said, via the Los Angeles Times’ Mike DiGiovanna<\/a>. \u201cI’m good\u2026 I went for a bike ride, playing golf tomorrow morning at 9:15 am\u2026 I told Perry he had to do what he has to do. Don’t feel bad for me. “<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Hey, good effort.<\/p>\n
