EARL WEAVER
Game 185 | May 13, 1970 | Earl Weaver
The Earl of Baltimore, Weaver managed the Orioles from 1968-1982 winning six Eastern Division titles, four American League pennants and a World Series championship in 1970. That 1970 team defeated the Western Division Champion Twins en route to the World Series. He was famous for his animated arguments with umpires. In one, he walked back to the dugout screaming, "I’m going to check my rule book on that one." To which the umpire replied, 'Be my guest. Use mine." "That's no good," Weaver yelled, "I can't read Braille."
