A sad day for baseball fans, a sad day for Oriole fans but what a great human being and legend. RIP Earl. You lived a life only few of us could be so proud of. Best wishes to his family.

You and I also remember Earl choking up at Brooks' ceremony. As usual, only Roy can tell the story from his unique vantage point many years ago.

We will always have that memory Tony. So will your son.

The Earl of Baltimore was succeeded but never replaced. Earl has a special place in my heart, giving me some of my fondest baseball memories, he will be missed. Rest in Peace.

There is suppose to be special programming starting at midnight tonight on ESPN Classic about Earl and Stan Musial.

Very sad news today. He was the manager when I starting watching the Orioles. RIP Earl.

Best wishes and Prayers to he and his loved ones. You can take the body, but you cant take the soul or the memories. RIP, Coach. You made a lot of lives better and the O's nation is thankful for the memories you gave us that we'll cherish for the rest of our days.

Why is the 1970 World Series in black and white? I thought the world turned to color sometime in the 1960s.

Just heard about Earl...he was the reason why I started loving O's baseball as a kid. Rest in peace, Mr. Weaver.

LMAO, one of a kind. Never to be duplicated.

Nothing more to add...it's so sad to see the legends of the game pass. Musial and Weaver on the same day, I teared up when I heard about it. Baseball will never be the same as the days that Earl patrolled the dugout and managed the field. God Bless you Mr. Weaver.

This is a really sad day for Orioles fans. In my opinion, the greatest manager who ever lived. Haven't really talked to my family about it because my grandmother, "Maw" fell down and broke her hip two days ago. I'm from Virginia, but my whole family is from around Baltimore, Maryland is essentially my state as well, and for the most part, where I grew up. Earl Weaver was before my time, but I remember him from tales regaled. Maw loved that little man. She had her operation. She seems good, haven't talked to her, or my Pops about Earl yet, I know they will be devastated, but I'm sure they are getting fired up for tomorrow, 6:30. Go Ravens, go Earl, go O's, go Maw.

As we were walking past the Warehouse going to FanFest yesterday morning, some guys were talking about it rather matter of factly. I was shicked. Wife and I were in tears as they played the tribute at FanFest.

Rest in Peace Earl....we all love ya!

On a side note, I'm a little pissed that Earl barely got a headline on ESPN's page but now that Stan Musial died, he's dominating the front page and has nearly buried Earl's "in memorandum". At least MLB.com has them both 1-2 and had Earl alone for a bit earlier today.

I think Earl would be ok with that. He was the first to admit that great players were the only reason there were great managers.
