  • Earl Weaver managed the Orioles with intensity, flair, and acerbic wit for 17 seasons. He fashioned an impressive .583 winning percentage bolstered by five 100-win seasons (1969-1971 and 1979-1980). Known for his innovative managerial style and his colorful confrontations with the men in blue, the Earl of Baltimore won 1,480 games, six American League East titles, four pennants and the 1970 World Series.

    I'm suprised he can still talk after all that hollering at the umpires during his tenure

    Earl understood the analytics long before the computers and Bill James spelled it out. H worked very hard to hone his craft and made baseball fun.

      Outstanding comment: a true bull's eye. I think that sabrmetrics began bigtime because Weaver was so independent and outspoken, and while people were disagreeing or agreeing with what Weaver's teachings and practices, James realized that Weaver's ideas could be statistically texted. If James is the father of sabrmetrics, Weaver is the godfather. I would like to know what Bill James would have to say about that.

      @@MG-ei7pt Sparky was a very good manager, but Earl Weaver was an insightful genius, an independent thinker who thought outside the box and KNEW that what he believed was true, and had zero respect for the revered conventional baseball wisdom handed down through the generations where it contradicted his own common sense. Sparky when he was with the Reds may have had better winning % than Earl Weaver (career MLB it is Sparky .545 and Earl .583), but Earl was on another level.
