One thing about Earl - they say keeping all your feelings bottled up inside is bad for you, that old bastard should have lived to be 130...

I've always liked Earl. Jim Palmer once said about him: "The only thing Earl Weaver knows about pitching is, he couldn't hit it."

RIP Earl. Here's a great quote:
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." |

I was very saddened when I heard this. One of my good friends is his grandson, he's pretty torn up about it as they were quite close.

Oh, damn, I just saw this. Shit. I remember thinking, when the Orioles were planning the statues for all the HOF'ers, that they'd better not fart around and get it done before one of them was gone. I'm gonna miss that little rooster.

He had some very funny stories about some of the scrapes he got into with opponents and with hecklers. Great manager and good for baseball.
