For some reason I always liked Earl Weaver from the Baltimore Orioles.

    Billy Martin. He tossed me a BP ball in the early 70's when he managed the Tigers.

    Tom Kelly. Wasn't afraid to go "against the book". Managed the Twins to two W.S. wins. Only Minnesota team to win a Championship in my lifetime.

    Although I'm not a Yankee fan, I'll have to say Joe McCarthy. I love his Ten Commandments.

    McCarthy's "10 Commandments for Success in the Majors"

    Nobody ever became a ballplayer by walking after a ball.
    You will never become a .300 hitter unless you take the bat off your shoulder.
    An outfielder who throws in back of a runner is locking the barn after the horse is stolen.
    Keep your head up and you may not have to keep it down.
    When you start to slide, SLIDE. He who changes his mind may have to change a good leg for a bad one.
    Do not alibi on bad hops. Anyone can field the good ones.
    Always run them out. You never can tell.
    Do not quit.
    Try not to find too much fault with the umpires. You cannot expect them to be as perfect as you are.
    A pitcher who hasn't control hasn't anything

    Weaver

    If you look in that video there was one out in the first inning and he was gone already. There are some funny videos of earl on YouTube.

    Got to talk to him a little in Cooperstown when cal went in, highlight of the day for me along with brooks.

    Lets go O's!
