Random Thoughts – August 14th
Happy Birthday, Earl Weaver
Both clips, NSFW (language):
Earl Weaver turns 78 today. He won a World Series, four pennants, had a remarkable five seasons with 100+ wins, an even more remarkable ONE season sub .500 and is in the Hall of Fame. But his greatest
accomplishments were off the field. Like Earl's landmark "Manager's Corner" appearance (see the first clip) where he demonstrated his unparalleled ability to be a vulgar old bastard, the Picasso of Profanities. Earl's other great accomplishment was lending his name to EA Sports' Earl Weaver Baseball, the first truly great sports video game. The only thing that would've made it better is if the manager's in it talked like Earl. I personally pledge $1000 to the Jimmy Fund Radiothon if Terry Francona will say "Alice Sweet needs to worry about where the fuck her next lay is coming from" to Joe Castiglione in his pregame show.
