Earl Weaver

Haller: Why?

Weaver: You know it!

Haller: For [bleeping] up the World Series?

Weaver: You know it!

Haller: You're going to be in the Hall of Fame for [bleeping] up the World Series, Earl?

Weaver: I've won more than I've lost!

Haller: Ah, no you haven't, Earl.

Weaver: Games. Count games, stupid!

Earl Weaver was thrown out of more American League games than any other manager in history. He was thrown out in spring training. He was thrown out in the World Series. He was thrown out twice in one day. Twice. (Both ends of a doubleheader.) He was thrown out by an amateur umpire. (The regulars were on strike.)

"Most of the umpires, it's amazing, 98 percent of them will not hold a grudge," Weaver says. "I always felt a couple of them did. I never wanted to argue with an umpire in my life."
