Supposedly, there have been three managers, Weaver, Billy Martin, and Mel Ott, who were ejected from both games of a doubleheader. In 1985, Weaver earned the dubious distinction of being the only guy to be ejected from the first game of a DH, and then get tossed again BEFORE the start of the second game.

Earl had quite a.. fiery personality, that's for sure.

He was one of the great MLB managers of the 20th century.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Weaver.

Another Great Baseball Manager has departed. RIP Mr. Weaver.

Didn't he tell the Orioles to leave the field at Exhibition Stadium because he was concerned about the weather conditions during a game against Toronto? Maybe I'm thinking about someone else :/

Always very sad to hear of a MLB manager's death....R.I.P
