Earl Weaver reminisces on the art of ejection
1 06 2007Donovan: Feisty Weaver holds court on the art of the ejection (SI.com)
John Donovan of SI.com takes a look back with legendary Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver on the art of getting ejected.
Weaver relays a good story about getting thrown out of both games of a double-header (after the jump):
The first time, though, was the beauty. In the third inning of the first game on that late-September day, after Weaver already had been out on the field three times to argue something or other, umpire Jim Evans finally tired of the show and tossed the diminutive Baltimore skipper. The ump then took out his watch and gave Weaver one minute to leave the field.
Weaver grabbed the watch, reared back and flung it into the visitors’ dugout, where it skidded to a stop under the Orioles’ bench.
“If my arm was still good,” Weaver told reporters after the game, “I would’ve thrown it into the stands.”
So with that, we leave you this all-time Earl Weaver interview that’s a classic. Oh yeah, there’s language involved…bad language.
