I believe he managed three 20 game winning pitchers in one year during the 70s? RIP.

Palmer, Cuellar, Dobson, and McNally.

Weaver was a thorn in the Yankees side regardless who he had on the mound.

Hard to believe he only won it all once... I'm pretty damn good with baseball history and that one would have got me.

I got to meet Earl Weaver once. Weaver retired a couple years before I was born so all I knew about him was from what my dad and grandfather had told me, supplemented with youtube videos of him exploding on umpires. I was blown away when I was at a dinner for the Brooks Robinson's senior all star game and Earl sat down at our table, shook hands, and spoke with us for a few minutes before moving to the next table. Seemed like a great guy who really enjoyed the company of other people and still had a passion for baseball. RIP

Never really was a Orioles fan, but Weaver was definitely one of the great managers, to be sure. He will be missed.

I do think that Showalter is somewhat like him though, so maybe the Orioles will be back to being a playoff regular from now on, because that would be great for baseball--especially in the DC area with the Nats' emergence, as well.
