Earl Weaver passed away last night. (With Roy Firestone Remembrance)

Earl Weaver was 82. Once again, we're reminded how long ago the glory years were. I'm so glad we got to see him smiling at the statue ceremonies last season. R.I.P. Earl.

I heard he was the only one of the 6 to make all the statue ceremonies. Earl just loved Baltimore and he would come visit for any reason.

Earl and his Orioles made me fall in love with baseball. RIP.

[BobbyWoontz]

You will always be the Earl of Baltimore to me. Thanks for the memories.

Stupid ass ESPN called him the "Duke of Baltimore" on reporting his death. Boy, are they getting a backlash now.

On my tombstone just write "The sorest loser who ever lived."

RIP Earl.

Thanks for the Oriole Way. Thanks for everything.

I obsessively played Earl Weaver Baseball on the computer for years. To this day I'll occasionally refer to the computer manager on OOTP as "Earl".

One of the first PC games I used to play with my Dad and pretty much all I knew about Earl Weaver as a kid. Its amazing how good of a sim that was. Its still hard to find such a great collection of historical players. Homerun Baker was amazing.

Remember the weird circle you had to use as a cipher to run the game? Still better then a MS activation key.

This is very sad. He lived a long, great life. I'm glad he got to see one more magical season.

RIP Earl.

Such sad news. So many good memories generated by one of the greatest managers of all time.

RIP, Earl.

THE Earl of Baltimore. Rest in Peace good sir, you have most certainly earned it, you fiery World Champion, Hall of Manager. Your love of the game was infectious, your competitive nature was as inspiring as the teams you so often put on the field. Thanks for everything. And take it easy on the big fella upstairs, he gets a lot of calls right....

Love the guy. So glad he got to experience last season, and come back to Baltimore for his statue dedication. I hope it is covered with flowers on Opening Day.

[Why Not?]

This.

Will never be another like him. Ill never forget a headline on the back page of the New York Daily News. "The Earl of Baltimore brings his high flying birds in for critical 3 game series". We swept them!!! RIP number 4.

R.I.P. Earl.
