Ron Luciano wrote some of the best Earl Weaver stories in his various books. The Umpire Strikes Back among others.

Re: RIP Earl Weaver
The Earl of Baltimore. Great manager who also entertained those of us who watched him guide the Orioles during the time they were the best organization in baseball. The Oriole Way. So glad he was able to attend and participate in his statue unveiling ceremony last season. RIP #4.

Re: RIP Earl Weaver
Weaver was one of a handful of managers and coaches from the 1970s who had cigarette pouches sewn inside their jerseys in order to carry a pack of smokes around and light up when need be. It's not PC, but it's good collecting nostalgia.
