i found this quote from earl weaver about baseball:
“You can’t sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You’ve got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That’s why baseball is the greatest game of them all.”
funny, i didn’t know he was that eloquent…
all that ranting and getting tossed from the game and it’s still only the top of the first inning! that’s earl weaver for ya!
