Photograph signed: "Earl Weaver". B/w, 8x10. Earl Weaver
(b. 1930) managed the Baltimore Orioles for 17 years, including 15 in a row,
taking them to the World Series four times. His winning percentage as a
manager is the eighth highest of all time. Weaver liked to bait umpires, and
was thrown out of almost 100 games (including a rare World Series
ejection in Game Four of the 1969 Series) and suspended at least four times.
In 1985, he was ejected from both ends of a doubleheader. Not a big advocate of
base stealing or sacrifice bunts, Weaver expressed his winning formula this way:
W = GP + 3RH (Win = good pitching + 3-run homer). Weaver was highly
superstitious, even for a baseball guy, but was also one of the first to rely
heavily on computer-generated statistics. Weaver entered the Hall of Fame in
1996. Fine condition.
