 Earl Weaver has passed away

R.I.P. You was one hell of a manager.

Enjoyed watching the O's while you were there.

Used to love it when he chased the umpires around. One hell of a manager.

"Full Pack" Stanhouse.
Weaver said he smoked a half pack of cigarettes during a game...Except when this guy came in to close out a game.

Although an effective closer, Stanhouse had a reputation of walking batters he was not willing to face. Frequently his tactics would lead to dangerous situations in close games with multiple base-runners, and send the chain-smoking Weaver pacing back and forth in the dugout in agony. This resulted in Weaver nicknaming Stanhouse Fullpack, referring to the number of cigarettes consumed while watching him pitch.
