January 19, 201313 yr Hall of Famer Earl Weaver, former manager of Baltimore Orioles, dies at 82 - ESPN My first computer baseball game, way back in the 80s, was Earl Weaver Baseball. He actually worked with the game designer's to create the AI strategy. One of baseball's most colorful characters. RIP.
January 27, 201313 yr I just read this outstanding article about Earl Weaver and his "Moneyball" managing style: Earl Weaver preached moneyball before it became 'Moneyball' - baltimoresun.com Sounds like the guy was a great manager.
