I remember Earl from my childhood. Fiery and fun for a new baseball fan back then.
RIP Earl.

He believed in acquiring bases nine at a time.
Somehow, I can't see Earl arguing with a computer making the calls, or it being nearly as entertaining. Earl was a fantastic manager and great for the game. The Earl of Baltimore. RIP
So sad. RIP Earl.
Earl Weaver baseball on a home PC was awesome!

RIP Earl.
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
The article mentions that Weaver died while on an Orioles Fantasy Cruise. I'm wishing the Reds would put together something like that! Wouldn't it be great to take a cruise with Reds players/staff on board the ship!!!
Hello, Reds PR department!!! Somebody take note of this, then sign my family up!
Earl Weaver was one of a kind. He was a big part of Orioles baseball. RIP Earl.
I imagine the O's will wear some kind of patch this year in his honor.
My favorite manager ever
This ain't a football game, we do this every day.

Nobody likes to hear it, because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same - pitching.
Earl Weaver
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 the other man has his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
Earl Weaver
Great baseball mind and what a great and salty and colorful character. I loved watching and listening to him.
RIP Earl. You will be misssed.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
RIP

In other news there is one heckeva brouhaha going on at the pearly gates....
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
