The Earl of Baltimore

Today marks the 55th anniversary of Earl Weaver’s debut as the Baltimore Orioles’ manager, a position that eventually leads Weaver – who never plays a game in the majors – to the Hall of Fame.

The Orioles win the American League pennant in their first three full seasons with Weaver as manager.

Weaver wins 1,480 of his 2,541 games as Baltimore's manager, but does not see all of them to their conclusion as he is ejected from nearly 100 games during his career.
