dc. Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Just read it, too. What an awful Saturday this just became. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/breaking/bal-orioles-earl-weaver-dead,0,6742632.story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZeKq7rbxAs
vmax Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 So long Earl. 82 years is a great run. As the saying goes...those were the days. Growing up, Earl Weaver, the O's and Memorial stadium....and championships and baseball excellence. Great pitching, great defense and the long ball.
BengalBilly Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 A great manager has passed. I liked him since the days the Reds and the Orioles played in the 1970 World Series. I'm still a bit miffed Baltimore won that series though.
cravnravn Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 The Human Vacum Cleaner is why the Reds lost
BengalBilly Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 The Human Vacum Cleaner is why the Reds lost I haven't forgotten Brooks Robinson either. The plays he made were simply amazing, and you have to have an arm to throw from 3rd base.
BengalBilly Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Im telling ya Billy, he was amazing.. i know. I watched him play. BTW the audio on that clip was bad, but the video was really all you needed.

cravnravn Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Audio worked fine for me...Shot, hit to 3rd, May is out...Shot to 3rd, Bench OUT, screamer to 3rd, Rose..OUTTTTAHERE
BengalBilly Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I think we're really dating ourselves here. That series happened almost 43 years ago. i still vivdly remember it, yet i'm walking around the house looking for where I put down my car keys two hours ago.
BengalBilly Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Baseball history is passing before our eyes. Now former Cardinal Stan Musial has passed as well. Stan the man was a bit before my time, but he was an all time great baseball player. R.I.P. Stan. **I didn't want to start a new thread**
BengalBilly Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 He deserves one, hes a legend It's strange how he started out as pitcher, then became such an epic hitter!
BengalBilly Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Earl was a firey little MF'er! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpS-XFXxJvE
BengalBilly Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 And if you thought that first vid contained foul language, Earl really let go here...
