RIP Earl Weaver

[Boreas]

Classic Weaver!

You'll see Hall of Famer Eddie Murray start arguing with the umpire over an apparent balk call by the late Mike Flanagan, who should be in the Hall). Then Weaver comes out and really pours on the coal. I think he did it partly to make sure that Murray didn't get ejected but mostly because Weaver just loved giving umpires a raft of shit.

I like this from the comments section...

"The 'Earl of Baltimore' will be missed. During one particular tirade with an umpire, Weaver headed to the dugout screaming, 'I'm going to check the rule-book on that' to which the umpire replied, 'Here, use mine.' Weaver shot back, 'That's no good - I can't read Braille.' "
