I haven't seen this one before. A nice little piece showing Earl Weaver at his best on a variety of occasions.

Thats an awesome video...I would have loved to have seen those tirades in person.

One of my favorite Earl things is how, once he got tossed, he's storm towards the dugout, and then turn around and go back out for more. If you were outside the stadium, you could tell which direction he was stomping in by the crowd noise. You can see it (and hear it) in the clip that starts with Eddie fussing at the ump about the balk call, but it was a regular feature.

Is there a film clip of him pulling the rulebook out of his hip pocket and tearing it up in little pieces? That was an all-time great. (I think he got fined for that one.)

I'd love to see that!

I thought the bit where he took the glove from Dennis Martinez in the video was hysterical.
