Earl Weaver argues with Umpire Bill Haller in 1980 at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.

- I was shooting a story for PM Magazine on MLB umpires at the old Memorial stadium in Baltimore. We had wireless mikes on 2 of the umps for the story. The Orioles were playing the Minnesota Twins. 5 pitches into the game the umps called a balk on the Orioles pitcher and Earl Weaver came flying out of the dugout to argue the call. This is the raw, unedited and uncensored, video of the exchange between umpire Bill Haller and Earl Weaver.

Don't let this violently civil discussion distract you from the fact that Earl pulled this 5 PITCHES INTO THE GAME.
I'm not sure if this is the same incident, but there was one instance of one of his pitchers getting called for a balk and as Earl ran out, he asked the guy, "Did you balk?" and he said, "Yes." That didn't stop him from doing another violent argument with the umpire who called it.
@@pronkb000 That would happen to be this exchange.

I noticed from the scoreboard in the background and the time displayed on it. Lol.
@@pronkb000 this is the incident 😊
The mic crew who captured this tirade are fucking legends.
I wonder was one of them mic'd up or did the camera boom mic pick up the sound that clearly?
@@yodaguy6956 the ump was being mic’d for a news show called “PM Magazine” for a story on being an umpire
I was the cameraman on this PM magazine shoot, a day in the life of a MLB ump. We had wireless mikes on 2 of the umps. Earl did not have a mike but Hallers mike picked him up just fine! 5 pitches into the game our feature story changed!
@@rickarmpit awesome! Love getting insight like this
@@rickarmpit Rick you are a legend sir
One of my favorite Earl Weaver quotes is when an umpire offered to give him his rule book and Earl says, “No thank you. I don’t read braille…”
Or better yet when he got a rule book from the clubhouse and tore it into hundred pieces in the infield. He said since the umpires weren't going to follow it, he had no use for it.
@@Dana-wq5tp 😆😆😆😆😆😆. Sounds like something Earl would do.
@@Dana-wq5tp I heard Mike Krukow tell this story. Apparently he had told one of his assistant coaches that the best way to become a manager was to get a rule book and read a little every day and take notes in it. When he went to get the rule book he grabbed the one that his assistant coach had been taking notes in for 5 years.
😂
Thanks for sharing that Hilarious and brilliant wit
Greatest conversation in human history as far as I'm concerned.
By far
Doesn't say much about either of you...
@@TorontotootwoIt's a joke, numb nuts.
It's right up there :
Divinely inspired, if a bit too ripe for our brethren N of the 49th.
Bobby Valentine was asked, “Who do you want to be President of the US?” And his answer was, “Ken Kaiser” (the home plate Ump). When asked why, he said, “if he’s President he can’t be an Umpire anymore”
Before umpiring ken was a pro wrestler fun facts
Ken Kaiser was from Rochester, NY. He was a total a-hole
That's a good one.Never heard that.LOL.
If that’s the case, I nominate angel Hernandez for president
@@HipsterDoofus100 Forget it. He'd be ejecting everybody. 😆😆😆😆😆😆
‘ oh you gonna be in the hall of fame? Why? For fuckin up World Series?’ Great line
Brutal.
Best comeback.
Pre-scripted by a sneak who knew he was miked. Plus, Earl’s ass can currently be found. . . In Cooperstown. So Earl was right & Haller was wrong.game/set/match to The Weave!
Weaver 1-3 lifetime in the world series…
@@VolumedMusicMan Yes indeed. But the issue is Haller scoffing at the notion that Earl would get to Cooperstown. Which he did, and easily. Plaque & all. Best part of his speech was admitting that umps do a pretty darn good job, most of the time. QED
Earl passed away ten years ago (Jan 19, 2013), and Bill Haller just this past year (Aug 20, 2022). They're probably still arguing in the hereafter! So glad this video was captured and preserved.
They’re smiling up at us, having another argument for ol time’s sake.
"YOU FUCKED US EVEN IN THE AFTERLIFE, BILL!"
"Awwww, yer full o' shit, Earl."
RIP Both of them.
These were two good men. Earl was a fierce competitor. God how I wish they look at an appreciate this as they're having a cold one in heaven.
I'm sure they shook hands and made up in God's house.
BIll was never too stuck up, never had a chip on his shoulder or took things too seriously. He was able to brush Earl off pretty harmlessly. Game needs more Umpires like him today.
I especially loved his retort at 0:41 "Ahhh, you're full of shit. Fuck you."
Definitely a blue collar man.
I’m a baseball novice & just now heard about Earl weaver & his infamous fight. I watched this for the 1st time with the sound •off•. It looked like Earl was an old woman wagging his finger & ranting while the umpire was just an old henpecked guy trying to avoid “the crazy” ! Lol 😂
Big Bill has the patience of a fucking Buddhist monk here.
Are you kidding? Obviously the highlight is "What are they gonna put you in the Hall of Fame for? For fucking up World Series'?" Absolutely savage.
Bill Haller is a good friend of mine n is retired in the Vandalia IL area! Bill is a modest n down to earth person! He is all about his fellow Veterans, besides telling some great MLB stories! 😜
@@lucken13 that is awesome!! 😎
I love the ump crow hopping into the ejection and then throws in the "BOOM" to top it off.
He had practiced that one. Created just for Earl I bet.
That was one hell of a sell
"You ain't going to knock nobody on their ass." Now this is entertainment. Probably the best mic'd up moment in MLB ever.
Earl would have needed a stepladder to punch Haller in the nose, LOL.
@@mikeprevost8650Or a cherry picker.
Bill Haller just passed away on August 20 and left some great memories of what a legendary umpire is all about. He lived an extraordinarily interesting life and anyone who had a chance to know him would agree .RIP Bill!!
Is this true that he just passed away?
But he was there just to fuck Earl Weaver and the O's.
@@DavidSilva-fq7nt yes.
That was enjoyable between those two.
Was a great friend to my aunt as well. Bill was a great man.
Fun fact: Earl Weaver is in the Hall of Fame for Fucking Up World Series'
He was to the 60's and 70's what Bobby Cox was to the 80's and 90's...
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424no contest, id go with the Earl. As a Braves fan throughout Cox era and before, and knowing Cuz got tossed a lot, I can never comment on why Braves didn't win more Series than they did without noting how laid back the team as a whole was and how they never turned it up postseason. They played the same intensity all the way and I think it hurt them in the end. Other teams seemed to have more fire in the belly, despite Cox's getting tossed a lot. In between getting tossed he didn't seem to say anything; just sitting with Mazzone and rockin'.
Welp he can draw comfort from his 1970 ring & his HOF status. Love #4
This whole thing is golden but what makes it better is the fact that the game had JUST STARTED!!!
The funniest line which is not on this particular video was when Rick Dempsey asks Kaiser just as it ends, "did he get thrown out?"
@@Dana-wq5tp not sure how Rick could have missed Haller's ejection move. If he wasn't looking he surely heard, "BOOM".
The games never ended for Earl. Different era. Labor of love and umps were in the way.
I saw a very similar situation where Bobby Cox was ejected in the first inning for arguing a balk call against Greg Maddux.
I LOVE the way Haller holds his own. "Ah, you're full of shit." Then, "Fuck you." Good for him, man, he doesn't take Earl's tirade too seriously.
Are u a cop?
@@timmyfay4187 What an odd question. Irrelevant and odd.
@@venisin Are you a cop?
@@Thomas-fk3cw Nope.
You?
@@venisin I may or may not be a cop. Can't disclose.
"You gonna be a hall of famer? For what, fuckin' up the World Series?"
Best fucking shot this whole argument.
Except of course Earl sailed right into the HOF, in Cooperstown. His 1-3 WS record not his best, but the one, plus the overall record, meant he was in fact a sure thing. Wonder if Haller attended the ceremony? Weave did admit umps are usually good. Audience roared at his self-aware humor. Epic.
Notice from the scoreboard that this is literally in the top of the first inning!
Earl liked to get his rants in as soon as possible.
I don’t think Earl even mentioned the balk call. Maybe he had some place he had to be.
@@johncronin9540 he may have also wanted to keep Eddie Murray from getting ejected. But that too.
That has to be a record for the earliest ejection!
that's why Earl was so calm
God I love Bill Haller. That "boom!" is pure gold. This dude kept his cool and stayed the good guy throughout.
He knew he was mic'd. He's a fraud.
Yes. He tried to set up Earl & only served his pompous self on a platter as a foil. Oh, he did get one thing right: Earl is in the HOF.
Earl and Haller went way back to the beginning of Weaver's managerial career. This was hardly the first argument they ever had. What's funny to me is how he never calls Earl by his last name. Like they're family relatives that can't get along. And on a side note- the funniest part of this video was cut off at the end when Rick Dempsey says to Ken Kaiser, "did he get thrown out?" (LOL)
I want to see Earl Weaver yell at Angel Hernandez. That would be most satisfying.
I think everyone would
I grew up in O's country (I wasn't an O's fan, but all of my friends were...) and Earl losing it at the ump was always a great moment. Can you imagine if social media had existed in the late 70s? Earl Weaver would have gotten his own reality show for sure.
What team did YOU like??
@@Getrealpeeps probably a Dodgers fan 🫣
You’re a Phillies fan. There’s some who live in O’s county.
"You better get going, Earl!"
God, I wish I was around for the Earl Weaver days. That's amazing. At least I was around for the Ripken trifecta. 🧡
The Ripken run was great to follow. What a gentleman. That’s coming from a NYer. Gave class to back Baseball.
Well guess what cutie your around for my days .u wanna go to the strip club .
I was & it was wonderful
I must watch this once a week and it never gets old
I come back to this when I need a good laugh. Not of derision, but of delight.
The fact Earl did this 5 pitches into the game shows he had the confidence that his team could win this game without him coaching.
He knew the Haller clan were total Det. biased
The World Series remark is golden. 😆
His other gem here: Earl's ranting about calling the league office and demanding that Haller never work O's games, and Haller's reply was perfect--"what do I care?"
That hit him where he lived.
Well his plaque lives in Cooperstown, so yes, Earl did make the HOF. Another great call by Haller. Got it right in spite of himself.
And to think these modern Sabre metrics nerds want to get rid of these interactions for robots. No thank you. These fucking kids ruin everything
@@Furry67… in cooperstown?
Fun fact: when Flanagan got back to the dugout, Earl ask if he had bulked and Flanney said yes!!! Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The base runner was Alan Trammell and the batter was Al Cowens and he got a hit. The Os won 9 -3.
No, it was when Earl stopped at the mound on his way to the dugout. He wouldn't have been in the dugout when the inning ended.
This is amazing, and the best quality video. Haaaa, Boooom!
It was good quality video for the time. Not HD though. There was no such thing in 1980.
The single best ejection move I’ve seen hands down
Yes
Lou pinella in Seattle with his hat
HA…..BOOM!
If you're gonna toss the manager make it fun. lol Bill and Earl argued a lot so it was more in jest more than anything.
@@LinkRocks I don't know about that, from what I've read and heard, they really couldn't stand each other. Not that Earl ever had a lot of affection for any umpire.
The Earl of Baltimore, great times for Oriole fans
1 of the best baseball clips of all time. Haller saying he'll be in the Hall of Fame for fking up the world series has me 😆
This is how men argue and it’s not pretty 😂
I’m still bitter about the 79 collapse.
Must have been a painful thing to hear, considering the Orioles had a 3-1 lead in the series.
That is an absolutely savage line. So quick on his feet.
Savage enough to be true. Earl is in the HOF. Self-own (preplanned) by sneaky ump.
Bill Haller's brother Tom was an All-Star catcher for the Giants. Bill is still alive at 87. Tom died in 2004.
Haller was a pretty good hitter with the Giants. i heard he was a jerk as GM or other executive. Frank Robinson kind of trashed him in his book Extra Innings
I think Rawlings once sold an autographed Tom Halker model. At here’s mitt. I had such a thing in my youth.
Tom Haller was a Tiger for one year. Supposedly that's when Weaver developed a grudge for Bill Haller, as Earl thought he was screwing them in favor of their AL East rivals.
@@jimwerther thanks I didn’t know Haller played for Tigers briefly in 72. but now I can see how the problem started. He should not have been allowed to do a game that his brother played in.
@@loyaldude10
Agreed. But it would be far easier for MLB to figure it out now, as they could rotate that umpiring crew to the NL. Not an option back then.
The best part of this is that Earl knows every time he turns back around the fans are gonna go wild. So he gets a little further away each time and then turns back around
Yeah, the handful of them who are actually in the stands. It was like 5 pitches into the game, and a lot probably hadn't even gotten to their seats yet.
I was there as a freshman in college. Had no clue what fight was about but we roared w/laughter. Earl was the very best. Fun team.
I grew up with this. It's why I love baseball to this day.
Lol ohh the old days. It's not as long of a argument now. How many times did he walk back. This is gold haha
Today's game just isn't the same. That's why I stopped watching MLB over 20 years ago.
Any Marylanders here? For me the golden years were 69-83…. Wild Bill (?) in the stands at Memorial Stadiums, Eddie Murray, Ken Singleton, Rick Dempsey, Jim P & the 4 other 20-win pitchers that year….? Well, damned never thought I’d forget that. Was it 75?
Can't stand how they watered down baseball with rule "changes" and calling New York for instant replay reviews. Let the umps do their job. If ur gonna use replay let the actual umpires make the call. Like the NFL.. Not calling clear across the country. SMH.....IF IT AINT BROKE DONT TRY AND FIX IT!
@@thomasexler7127, I knew when they allowed the last expansion and started inter-league they'd ruin it. The silly rule changes just made it worse.
The late AL umpire Ron Luciano disclosed in one of his books that every time Luciano had an Orioles game, Jim Palmer would run a block pool based on when Luciano would throw Weaver out of the game. He even said that one time when he ran Weaver, he heard one of the Orioles in the dugout yell, "Top of the 4th, that's my inning."
My favorite Weaver/Luciano story took place during a doubleheader. Luciano had thrown Weaver out of Game One, and when they had the meeting at home plate before Game Two, Weaver said, "How 'bout it, Luciano? You gonna be as bad this game as you were in the first?"
And Luciano said, "I looked at him sadly and said, 'You'll never know, Earl, because you won't be around to see it'," and then threw him out at the pregame conference.
Had a chance to meet Bill Haller in Detroit in '77. A very nice man who took all the time he had to talk baseball with us.
They never even discuss the balk call.😂😂
Pride and ego on the line. lol
So, why is crap like this tolerated in baseball
@@erose964 It's not anymore. Angel Hernandez and the rest of the merry little men of modern umpiring have seen to that. Watch some Jomboy clips of umpires not taking this shit anymore. XD LOL
@@BigBlack81 What do you mean, "taking this shit?" He threw weaver out 6 seconds after he opened his mouth.
That's because the call didn't matter.
What mattered was team morale... so Earl hauls out of the dugout to put on some gorilla theater for the fans and the team. He's out there fussing at the ump for them...
Instead of thinking about the balk, or thinking, "Damn... what ELSE is gonna go wrong?" Everyone's drawn into this animated back and forth between the ump and the manager.
Usually, nobody by the people closest to the ump and the manager can hear what's being said anyway.
Never in the history of the game, was a call made by an ump, ever changed, because players or managers threw a fit about it. NEVER.
Everyone involved knew it going in...
So 99% of the time, umps didn't even take these arguments seriously... and neither did the managers or the league offices... It was gorilla theater and it added some zing to the game.
Watch Billy Martin, Lou Pinella, Tommy LaSorda, Sparky Anderson, Earl Weaver and more, venting their spleens to the umpires... and then, listen to the fans... look at the players and how they play.
The game goes from "ho-hum... only 160 more of these to go..." to players playing just a smidge harder and fans even more into the game than they were before.
We need to ditch the replays and crap from the game, and get back to stuff just like we see here in the video. It all was part of the magic of the game.
I love how the crowd just roars every time Weaver goes back for more!
This was a time when televised ballgames were still a big deal, radio was the primary source to follow the Tigers in the 70's/80's. We had 2 Hall of Fame announcers in Detroit, Ernie Harwell & George Kell. We were happy campers.
Ernie Harwell was my youth. God bless him
Dee Donner Ramone. Even though I grew up a Yankees fan, and we had some great announcers, my absolute favorite baseball sportscaster was Ernie Harwell.
@@words911 I grew up a Yankees fan, but would tune in especially to Detroit radio to hear Ernie Harwell call the Yankees/Tigers games. It came in loud and clear especially on a cool day. There was just something about him...that got to me! There was such warmth and heart to this man. His various special "calls" were folksy and unique. His "That's Baseball" (definition of baseball), with all of his variations to it, still gives me a lump in my throat. He was my favorite baseball sportscaster. I loved Ernie.
I bet Earl was the life of any party. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was actually a very intelligent and well rounded guy. He loved gardening and was a Shakespeare buff.
"Oh you're going to be in the Hall of Fame? For fucking up a World Series?" Haha... I'm ded.
Well, Earl DID make the HOF. Bill hasn't yet.
@@bowlersinger Bill's got as much chance of making the HOF as Angel Hernandez.
That's a GREAT clap back. And even the 'count games, stupid' is wrong since 69 and 70 cancel each other out and he lost in 71 and 79 to Pittsburgh.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Losing to Pittsburgh is always embarrassing.
@@dalethelander3781 Or Joe West.
Seeing Earl in action was worth every penny during his Oriole tenure!
Weaver and the umpire both played their roles to perfection. Thank god it was caught on tape!
I’ve watched this so many times. It’s so funny
1:50 Notice how it's the top of the 1st. Earl doesn't waste any time.
Maybe Earl had an early dinner reservation.
There was a story about one catcher back in the day, last game of the season and his team eliminated by Labor Day, who asked the home plate ump to run him early in the game, so he could catch an earlier flight home.
Everything was better in the 80’s
except for the weird fashions.
I like it that Bill Haller cusses Weaver right back - that's about all Weaver understood, anyway.
Whenever I need a good laugh, this is my go-to video. It’s never gets old 😂😂
Ranks up there with "What did I think of Kingman's performance?" Which, sadly, is audio only.
More like the Jerry Springer Show!!!
Me also
The best part of this wonderful tirade was told by the late Mike Flanagan who was called for the balk. At the end of the “discussion “ Weaver goes to the mound to ask Flanagan if he thought he balked and Flanagan said yes I did! 😁😁😁
The funny thing is that the O's actually won this game. In 1980 Baltimore won 100 games but lost the division to the Yankees by 3 games. Amazing. Classic clip!
Whenever I am having a bad day, I watch this and almost immediately, I feel better.
R.I.P. Bill Haller.
This is hands down one of the funniest manager freak outs I’ve ever heard 😂
I don't follow baseball but this is one of the best highlights of ANY sport I have ever seen.
That throw out is legendary. Boom!
Bill Haller handled this beautifully.
And his finger never came withing 4" of Earl, lol.
He was also correct that Earl lost more WS games than he won.
Right. You’re full of s-- F you. Love it!!f
Now THAT was baseball. What a great time for the sport.
A great time for all pro sports.
😂😂😂 “you’re a liar. No, you’re a liar. No, you’re a liar”. The best.
Pee Wee Herman:
"I know you are, but what am I?"
I love how Murray see's Weaver and even he's like "O boy here we go"
He came out to keep Murray from getting tossed. But I think Haller would have taken a little more shit from Eddie than from Earl.
Wow! Hearing Earl changes my outlook towards him.
Being a Red Sox fan in those days, I got to see Weaver and Billy Martin a lot, they were nuts.
I was lucky to see the Earl of Baltimore many times as a kid at Memorial Stadium on 33rd. Earl Weaver was a fantastic manager, my father always got us season tickets so I witnessed Earl tossed out of games many many times over the years, he always gave it his all, you are missed Earl Weaver.
That must have been so much fun, I envy you.
Earl was tossed so many times, that when Cal Ripken Sr. finally took over, he had more than half a season's experience as O's manager, lol.
Earl knew how to get the stands involved. I’ll never forget his antics on the field. Great coach. RIP Sir.
Except there was hardly anyone in the stands! The place looks empty.
@@jah0524 and if everyone in the stands could hear the audio, they'd realize that Haller was making Earl look like a clown.
He went out there to save Eddie from getting ejected. Eddie was about to get into it with Haller, and Weaver went out to one-up any protest that Eddie had. Earl knew that he was more likely to win if his players weren't tossed, and if that meant he was, that was a better outcome.
@@jah0524 but this was everyday. It wasn’t just to show off! He knew baseball. What he lacked in size he made up for in temper in we all loved it.
@@finewinematt what made him a great manager! 👍
As a life long O's fan there was nothing like going to a game hoping Earl got into an argument they were the best. That old stadium would go crazy. I was lucky enough to be at his last game I was young maybe 6 or 7 with tears rolling down my face. I was devastated that I woukd never see him in the O's dug out again. That man stood up for his players like no other Skipper since
2:05 Earl was right about one thing. He made it to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Wrong about Haller touching him, tho. Earl came closer to poking Haller in the face, than Haller's finger came to Earl.
For fucking up the World Series.
Earl Weaver was one of baseball's funniest characters and greatest comedians. But as a manager, Earl Weaver was also one of baseball's greatest tacticians and winners. The Orioles were pretty much perennial winners under Earl's watch, as he managed them from 1968-1982, and again from 1985-1986. And the only time Earl suffered a losing season with the Orioles was 1986. And yes, he was tough on his players...but he loved his players, too, and he always stood up and fought his players. In other words, Earl Weaver was someone you would love to play for.
If social media heard or saw this today, everyone would be screaming for Earl to not only be fired but banned from baseball. These were the days of baseball
What are you talking about? People would be doing what they're doing now -- laughing their @$$ off.
If anything, people would be debating if the umpire was right when he said that Earl Weaver f***ed up in the 1969, 71, and 79 World Series.
This made my day!! Earl Weaver was great.. a great conversation with the Ump. My wife is getting back surgery and needed this.
I can watch this a million + times..
Better keep at it. It’s only at 33k.
@@TheDizzleHawke 🤣🤣
I bet my life Eddie Murray has so many Earl stories lol!
Eddie got to be witness to both Earl Weaver and Tommy Lasorda tirades for about 80% of his career. He could probably publish an anecdotal book of quotes that would be about 500 pages of FUCK and GODDAMMIT lol
@@markroberts928 That’s OK because Tommy, Billy, Whitey, Sparky and Earl were gutsy managers. Baseballs gone WOKE nowdays and it’s not the same. The tough guys are gone…😞
Ah, classic use of “woke” meaning “anything I don’t like”. It’s such a meaningless term.
Anyway, role of the manager is fundamentally different. Instant replay has made it so that arguing most calls is pretty useless. Run the replay if they got it wrong. Getting yourself run out of a game isn’t “tough”, it’s just stupid, unless you’re trying to keep your player from getting themselves ejected or trying to fire up your team. Hell, that’s what Earl’s doing here - he sees Eddie Murray getting into with the ump, he goes in to get himself run instead of Murray because Murray is more important than he is to win the game. Earl might have had a temper but he was smart - he knew exactly what he was doing when he left the dugout. He’s brilliant, and just chalking that up to “he’s tough” completely undersells Earl Weaver as a manager.
Earl Weaver, Billy Martin , lou Pinella
Tremendous managers
It’s been mentioned on here but I think it deserves repeating.
The scoreboard says 1 out and 1 hit in the top of the first. Some people in attendance haven’t even taken a sip of their beer yet, and this goes down.
Epic.
Bill just passed away. A legendary moment in baseball.
I bet him and Earl are in Heaven still arguing
I can’t count the times I have watched this great clip. It always puts a smile on my face.
This is legendary, a gold standard. Earl Weaver " THIS CREW IS HERE JUST TO F... US" . Umpire Bill Haller " YEAH BOOM ( YOU'RE OUTTA HERE) . I wonder if those two are still going back and forth where they are today in heaven. RIP EARL WEAVER AND BILL HALLER.
This is pure gold conversation, but what really makes this clip exraordinary is the neckless umpire at the end.
Leo Kleman - THE PLATE UMPIRE SEEN IN VIDEO WAS THE LATE KEN KAISER WHO WAS ALSO A FORMER PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER.
@@claymarston8764 And you can find a slightly longer version of the ending of this where he says, "J.... C....! We've just started this goshdarn thing!"
This is wonderful - two legends. Thanks for sharing; I laughed out loud at 0:47.
I don't watch much baseball anymore, but this is an all-time highlight for me... Bill Haller might be the GOAT
He and Nestor Chylak were considered to be the 2 best AL umps of their era.
I can’t imagine any coach today being this passionate
It was an act. Earl loved being the center of attention and fed off the crowd’s cheers. If the stands were empty, none of this extended silliness happens.
Love Earl. One Of The Greatest A True Classic. 😮😊. Pete sr
Earl…. I miss this kind of manager!
How about the crow hop with the “boom” from Haller!!😂😂
I was a young buck in 1980, a whopping 12 years old loved baseball, Earl weaver, Don Zimmer and Billy Martin were fun to watch when they got pissed off in that era. Where does the time go😮
Man how I miss the old days of baseball! If you like this one, search for "Managers Corner with Earl Weaver".
I'd heard that turned out to be a prank, but it's still worth the price of admission.
if you dont miss the old days....you are very unfortunate!
Today's managers micro-manage games, to the point where it's almost unwatchable. A couple of them have pulled pitchers throwing no-hitters on pitch count. Earl's game managing style? Sit back and wait for the 3 run homer. It also helps to have a pitching staff with multiple 20 game winners, tho, lol.
That home plate umpire looks like the Roadrunner dropped an anvil on his head.😂
That's Kenny Kaiser. As Luciano said in his book he looks like humpty dumpty and they put his arms on backwards. Didn't put up with anything.. Passed away from diabetic complications in 2017.....
That ump isn't a pussy, either. He handles it calmly. Today's umpires would've started crying
Yep, especially if that umpire's name was Ángel Hernández. He'd be the first one to cry.
@@Coadz95 Laz Diaz, OTOH is no pushover.

Sad but true, MLB isn't what it use to be, as a matter of fact none of the major US sports are what they use to be. I miss the days where players played hurt because they hungered for victory, today if a player has a pimple on his face he is put on the DL.
@@TheLeadSled That why one of the very, very few truly unbreakable records just happens to be a baseball record and it’s Cal Ripken’s consecutive games played streak. They play a different game now. Maybe it’s because the players are soft. Maybe it’s because they make too much money and don’t want to risk getting hurt. I don’t know, but Ripken played in 2,632 straight games. Miguel Tejada’s streak ended in 2007 at 1,152 games. Currently the longest active streak the 2nd baseman for the Royals, named Whit Merrifield and he’s played in 481 consecutive games.
⚾️”- Earl Weaver was the best -or worst- depending on how you look at it - loved it when he argued w/ umpires , got ejected -“⚾️
That's what I CALL Balls my Friends. We are missing that. Right NOW. From the TOP. Also love baseball.
As I recall, at the end of clip Weaver goes to his pitcher and ask him, “did you balk?” You know, after losing his mind over the call.
I’m a long time Os fan and I Love this. He and Lasorda were the best at arguing with umps.
🤣🤣🤣 This is great. Old throwback ump vs manager argument at it's best
I love Bill. He stood up to Earl.
He did more than stood up. He handed Earl his ass. He got Earl so flustered with his, "you're going to the Hall of Fame? For what, for fucking up World Series?" that Earl totally forgot his W-L record in games. And no, he lost more than he won in that category, too. 😂
I sure do like Bill Haller's ejection gesture
The good old days. Gone but not forgotten
The best 2 minutes in sports.
I am sadden to announce, that Bill Haller passed away today! No details yet. I am a close friend of his and the family. Plus Bill was a long time active member of my VFW Post in Brownstown, IL... Till we meet again in Fidder's Green, my old friend!
Earl will be greeting Bill when he arrives at the Field of Dreams.
@@rickarmpit know Bill well, his first words to Earl will be”F-k you Earl”. 😇
The great earl weaver. There will never be another.
Wrong. One of the most overrated managers ever. Lost 3 out of 4 World Series. Not much of a winner given the talent he had to work with. A crude, very profane man.
@@Stingball22 love that guy. Maybe not a true genius of the game but a real fun guy to watch. Entertaining to the hilt. Baseball is entertainment.
When one of his players told him that he needed to walk with the Lord, he told that player that he’d rather walk with the bases loaded. I’m probably going to go to hell for laughing.
@@davidbrandel1311 we dont know if he walked with the Lord. Moses had a temper.
This was great a slice of baseball that was. A different game but similar example. Atlanta was playing the Devil Rays winning 8-2 in the 9th with Maddux on the mound and Canseco at the plate. In this game 5 batters were hit, 3 by Maddux. Maddux had unbelievable control but he stuck it to Jose. :)
Earl works it out of his system.and still entertaining
This was amazing, and only 5 pitches into the game wow
One of the greatest ejections i've ever seen.😂
"Hah! BOOM!"
Grew up in Baltimore in the late 70s and 80s, went to a bunch of Orioles games, at least a half-dozen a year, but somehow I never saw Earl get ejected.
That's because Earl got thrown out before you got there! 😉
