RIP. Let's hope he doesn't argue with the angels at the gates and get himself tossed from baseball heaven.

RIP
One of the true greats. He was truly ahead of his time in that he was embracing the sabermetric philosophies of Bill James before Bill James even came up with it. There are managers all over baseball that still don't get that you should want guys with high on base plus slugging in your lineup as opposed to high batting averages, Earl was doing that over 40 years ago.

RIP. Let's hope he doesn't argue with the angels at the gates and get himself tossed from baseball heaven. Ahahaha! ;D I think this guy had to be one of those most intimidating five-foot-seven people on this earth. May he RIP. |

One of the greatest managers of all time. VERY underrated.
RIP Earl.

Earl Weaver & umpire Ron Luciano arguing was quite the show.
Ron: You say one more word, I'll bite your head off!
Earl: If you do, you'll have more brains in your stomach than in your head!
Rest In Peace to a part of my early baseball watching.

I remember sitting in Memorial Stadium as a kid and anytime Earl came out of the dugout to argue with an umpire the crowd went nuts.
R.I.P. Earl Weaver
