BTW, Was that Ken Kaiser working the plate?? And who wore AL #1?

Bass:
 

Bill Haller is #1 . . . KK on dish and a couple of other notables walk through the frame . . .

Regards

And underlying Earl's peevishness about the balk call was the fact that MLB allowed Haller to call games in which his brother was the catcher.

And,
 

The odd thing about that is that his brother, Tom, played only one year in the American League as I remember.

This year we have the Wolfe brothers doing the same act.

Regards,

trip down memory lane... the coaches knew how to put on a show in the old days ... now only a few even bother.

Thanks

Weaver headed to the dugout screaming, "I'm going to check the rule-book on that"- to which the umpire replied- "here, use mine." Weaver shot back-"that's no good- I can't read Braille."

While I do not agree with umpiring your brother's game, MLB at least prohibits J. Wolfe from being behind the plate when R. Wolfe is pitching.

that is awesome, funniest thing I've heard all week

Weaver had been the bane to umpires for a long time. Ron Luciano tossed him out of both ends of a double dip, Shag Crawford thumbed him from a World Series, and I believe in that double header, Weaver was tossed during the pre-game conference. Priceless :D:D:D:D

Check out a still frame from :59 and 1:44. Top of the 1st, 1-1 pitch, 1 out.

Classic Earl Weaver... I have a video of him flipping his hat around(so he could go nose to nose) and doing some version of the waltz while getting after an umpire.

I get a kick out of Dick Trazewski just standing in the first base coach's box watching it all.

Guess you missed Lou Pinnela

Earl Weaver is hardly a role model.

And what is exactly wrong with umpiring if your brother is playing.?

It presents a possible conflict of interest. Actually, it IS a conflict of interest.

There was so much bad blood between Weaver and Ron Luciano that the AL had to schedule Luciano's crew away frm Baltimore games.
