I am so sad by the news that “Stosh” died today. I got to see him as a kid
in Aug of 63 at the Polo Grounds with my Dad. Mets lost 4-3 and Musial got a hit.
He was a fantastic hitter and always a class act and gentleman.
My childhood is vanishing so quickly. R.I.P. Stan.

MLB has been running a tribute several times today of Weaver’s highlights from one of the most successful managers of all time. I’m sure we’ll be seeing one tomorrow for Stan The Man.

Musial chose the wrong time to play. He played at last ten years with Aaron, Mays and Mantle. He’s underrated because of it.

Earl Weaver one of the greatest baseball managers of all time. I remember him vividly from the 1970′s. There was one game in the 1970′s when he was arguing a call and the PA system was playing Bonnie Tyler’s “It’s a Heartache.”. Weaver was also ejected from the 1969 World Series, a rarity indeed. He’s probably arguing with St. Peter at the gate right about now….

Always liked Earl Weaver, his run-ins with umps were classic. He goes down as a good baseball man with Billy Martin, Tommy Lasorda, Sparky Anderson, Chuck Tanner some of the quality managers in that era.

I always considered Weaver the last of the great old time managers….

Baseball certainly lost a legend!

“On my tombstone write the sorest loser who ever lived”

Some of his quotes were gems.

One of the few managers who really belong in HOF.

He had a careder winning percentage over .580.

In all his years managing I believe he finished under .500 just once.

Dang…sorry to hear this. R.I.P. Earl

I remember his comment well after the WS of ’69 – how all the breaks seem to have went the Mets way – i.e. shoe polish balls and Martin running out of the base line and not being called out.

The baseball world has lost a luminary. Not only did he talk a great game, but he was that rare person who was pretty much spot on with what he said.
