Earl never recovered from the Gil Hodges shoe polish ball, did he?

I did some research and found out that Jim Playfair's middle name is "Doesn't".

There are 2 great things about that Earl Weaver rant:

1) Check out the scoreboard...that happened in the bottom of the 1st!!!! Talk about an early night.

2) Haller's line: "You're going into the Hall of Fame Earl??? For what? F**king up World Series."

What they used to be able to get away with (sigh).

He said that Wellman did that stuff as a show for the fans and nothing else, and the umpires knew it. (I'm pretty sure he knew the umpires involved in that video) He also said Wellman left those guys a case of beer in their locker room afterward for "playing along".
This reminded me of a great anecdote I read from Tim McClelland on the MLB.com site a couple years ago. It's the second question from the bottom.

The image of Jack McKeon yelling and kicking dirt while carrying on a conversation about where to eat dinner is just something that stuck with me.

Wonder if the Trader had a lit stogie in his mouth at the time....

And he is refusing to apologize for his actions.

If you look carefully - you can see the players on the bench to the right of him are peeing themselves laughing when Playfair loses it. :D
I would too, but Playfair is usually such a quiet, reserved, technical kind of coach that this was WAAY out of character for him. So it leaves you to wonder what really set up off like that.
