    Default Earl Weaver dead

    Former Orioles manager

    Earl Weaver, the feisty Hall-of-Fame Baltimore Orioles manager and persistent Yankee nemesis died late Friday night of an apparent heart attack while on an Orioles’ fantasy cruise in the Caribbean. He was 82.

    Loud, profane, egotistical, belligerent, confrontational, Weaver never denied being any of those things, but they were merely part of the makeup of what best described the Hall-of-Fame Baltimore Orioles manager: Winner.
    RIP.

    Whatever will Alice Sweet from Norfolk do about her tomato plants now?

    RIP Earl.

    The Sun finally has a story, but it is very short.

    He was a Maryland Treasure from a bygone era. He was one of the truly greats and will be greatly missed.

    RIP Earl Weaver

    Earl Weaver penned his own epitaph.

    "On my tombstone just write, ‘The sorest loser that ever lived,’ " he once said.

    Not a bad way to go. Better than sitting around wearing diapers waiting to die in some cold institution.
