- 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
lol that is facts!
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.
I was a kid when he managed. Thank you Earl for all of the great memories.
The best manager of his generation!
That would be Sparky Anderson
@@MG-ei7pt Sorry MG Sparky couldn't shine "The Earl of Baltimore's" shoes!!
He mentioned Stan The Man a couple different times. They happened to pass away within hours of each other.
If you were around in Maryland, in the 60s & 70s, Earl was a show onto himself. Boy howdy, he knew the rules and would bust a gut to win within them. And he was funny.
Any umpire dies and goes to hell will find himself at first base umpiring a game with Weaver in one dugout and Billy Martin in the other with close play after close play at first for all eternity.
Earl finally made the HOF for F'ing up the world series.
He won more than he lost
@@scottythegreat1
No he didn't!
Games dummy!
@@ThekiBoran GAMES, STUPID!! COUNT'EM!!
😂😂😂😂 best argument ever recorded
Earl of Baltimore is the meaning of Oriole Magic
Turnabout from last to first this season is a tribute to Earl Weaver.
Earl was the greatest. Always will be Baltimore's Best! Thanks for posting, HOF.
Hiccups in the World Series aside, Weaver was one of the greatest. Year after year his teams excelled. Of the 14 full seasons he managed his team was under 500 only once, that being his final season. His teams won 100 or more games five times and 90 or more ELEVEN times.
Loved The Earl of Baltimore. I use to love when he came out of the dug-out , would get ejected and roar in the tunnels at Memorial Stadium as he left the game. He was a character and us O's fans loved this man.
same day, wasn't it?
The Earl, someone I will always remember
A legendary baseball figure...Earl Weaver, Sparky Anderson, and others. Baltimore Orioles Baseball would never been, or have the been without Earl Weaver.
It's so fitting that he passed away on the Oriole Cruise! Talk about sailing into the sunset. He was a baseball man's man!
My Dad's golfing buddy after he retired in Miami......he was a legend in coaching and a great man.
I worked at grand palms where earl lived. I must have met ur dad.
Earl was the best. #HOF #4
RIP
Earl weaver before orioles
@@jamesleili7942 he coached the triple A team up in Rochester NY
Its nice that he mentioned all his coaches.
Best EVER
Earl and Billy the Martin DONE DID IT THEIR WAY.
he was a great manager and performer.
thanks for posting this.
Loved this guy. Cut from a different cloth for sure. Back when players and managers said what was on their mind,
Wadda great guy
If General Motors was managed by the likes of Earl Weaver, Tokyo would be teeming with Chevrolets.
To all the young people who might stumble into this, there's only one way to get to make a speech like that...produce. Do it. Get out and try. Stick with it. Live the life. Show up to play every day. Every day. Passion and learning are more important than talent. Come back and do it again tomorrow.
RIP Earl..great memories going to Memorial stadium to see the Orioles.
The 5 thumbs down are from people who are here for one goddamn specific reason! Also, I believe Alice Sweet got out of the bar and made it to Cooperstown for the ceremony.
Love this comment!
Fuckin' up World Series was enough to get him in 😂
@@christopherjohnson1803 roll in your grave Bill Haller /s
Earl Weaver. Simply a CLASS ACT! RIP Earl. We miss you.
Get a beer goat guy
So, are the four "thumb downs" from former umpire nemesis of The Earl of Baltimore?
The Earl of Baltimore.
"except for those 92 times I disagreed" LOL
It took Jim Palmer 21 hours to get his hair right for a 3-hour baseball game that's 24 hours in a day folks
It also got him a 2.86 lifetime era and 268 wins and 3 world series
@@cheesegreezy9860
Tou'che
Thank you Earl for all of the great memories. Fall of fame manager
goat. great video
I used to see Dick Gordon at the old Memorial stadium in Baltimore bugging athletes for their autographs so that he could sell them at his upcoming baseball card shows even going so far as to allowing his wife Gloria to blow anyone and everyone from Rod Hendricks to practicaly the entire Red Sox and Orioles teams for over a decade...Most athlete would accept a BJ from just about anyone and Dick had to take his wife to Mercy Hospital and have her stomach pumped out on many occasions.
@@llenavangend4591 oh my
R.I.P. Earl. The greatest Oriole manager ever.
Greatest speech ever
The best manager ever
NUMBER 4 SHOULD BE RETIRED IN BALTIMORE a great manager
Actually--number 4 IS retired in Baltimore--(along with 20 for Frank Robinson, 5 for Brooks Robinson, 8 for Cal Ripken, 22 for Jim Palmer, and 33 for Eddie Murray.)
I hope Bill Haller was somewhere close by, to tell him about fucking up World Series!!
Bill Haller must be mad wherever he is
He told Bill 5-10 years though.... took him 16 after that incident. 😊
@@gregg.9420 only because he kept managing.
Scott Schum That’s true. Fantastic clip.
Yup. Earl was right!
Go Rams & O's
be funny if that ump from the one video was there. he said you'll never be in the hof earl lol
How many umpires showed up?
Never been on a team or a fan of a team that used orange.
I wonder if that's tough to embrace.
God bless 'em, I'll bet it is.
Fun fact, weaver got into the hall of fame for fucking up the world series.
Even Alice Sweet forgave Earl and showed up to show her support...Unfortunately Crowley didnt show up, still held that grudge.
