“Earl Weaver stands alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball. This is a sad day for everyone who knew him and for all Orioles fans. Earl made his passion for the Orioles known both on and off the field. On behalf of the Orioles, I extend my condolences to his wife, Marianna, and to his family.”
-Orioles Managing Partner Peter Angelos
The Orioles invite fans to please leave any condolences and memories of Earl in this guestbook blog’s comments.
4Earl: Remembering Earl Weaver 
R.I.P. Mr. Weaver. I am 62 years old and have been an Oriole fan all my life, watched alot of baseball thru the years. There’s no doubt in my mind, Earl was, is and will always be, “THE GREATEST MANAGER IN BASEBALL OF ALL TIME”.
i still remember the day Earl announced his retirement, for me it was the end of Orioles baseball as I grew up knowing it. Earls way was the winning way, unlike todays players, coaches, managers and even the umpires, it’s all about money and the business side. THANK YOU MR. WEAVER FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES !!!
RIP Mr. Weaver. You were the greatest and we’ll never forget you.
Grew up in Connecticut, but became an O’s fan in ’68. Wonderful memories of the teams of that era! My sympathies to the Weaver family. He is forever the Earl of Baltimore. Go O’s!
The only thing I can say is Thanks….. grew up with the orioles and still am an avid fan. Earl gave me so many hours of pleasure watching those great teams and especially Earl’s leadership. Thanks Earl !!
THANK YOU
GOD BLESS
RIP
I can remember playing baseball w/neighborhood friends while growing up. We’d all choose and pick which player we were at that time. Whoever would be Earl, you could rest assured, they’d be kicking dirt and all. RIP Earl. And thanks. 🙂
I have been an Orioles fan my whole life and Earl was one of the greatest managers ever to coach the game. I remember watching him on TV with my grandfather and i would get such a kick out of him when he would turn his hat on backwards and start arguing with the umpires. He will be greatly missed. RIP Earl
From the time that I understood what the Orioles meant to Baltimore as a young child, and throughout my adult life, Earl Weaver stood out as a great manager and a person to be respected. I loved it when he would through his cap in the dirt and get up in the umpire’s face. Earl Weaver was loved by all that knew him. I am proud to say that I was at the games when he took our Birds to victory. Thank you, Mr. Weaver. May you rest in peace and condolences to your family.
earl you made my childhood summers the best . growing in baltimore watching o,s games with my dad . god bless you
Well we knew this day was going to come sometime but it’s still sad.
I remember, as a kid in the 70s, my dad getting to go out on the field as part of a First National Bank employee promotion. I was able to see Earl up close, and it was awesome. I am so glad he was able to see his statue and the orioles win before he departed. Thank you for the great memories and I hope you are sharing your stories with Rex Barney and Chuck Thompson. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu
Thanks for all the memories, Earl. You were the best. Enjoy managing in the Field of Dreams from now on.
Earl was the greatest and most fun manager I’ve ever had the priveledge to watch. I’ll always treasure those wonderful years of Oriole baseball at Memorial Stadium. RIP Earl. You’ll be the Earl of Baltimore forever!
I loved the passion Earl Weaver brought to the game. He i a big reason I love the sport today.
Earl brought a lot to Baltimore baseball. I grew up in the 70s and 80s at Memorial Stadium and I loved watching the O’s play and I loved the passion of Earl. He will be missed and often thought of during the present Oriole magic.
He is the reason a kid from the Midwest became a die hard Orioles and baseball fan. The best of the best.
RIP Mr Weaver. Your passion for the Game and love for our Orioles will remain unmatched. Thank You and Godspeed.
WE LOVE YOU EARL!!!!!! R.I.P.
Earl was hands down the best Orioles coach ever. I feel honored to have attended all of the legends series last year and look back on some of Earls coaching days. Especially the day that you were honored. It was an amazing day! You will forever be in my memory and any die hard Orioles fans memory as well. Thank you for everything and RIP. We will take it all the way this year for you!!!
Rest in peace Mr. Weaver. Your legacy of winning will not be forgotten. Thanks for the memories.
Earl you will foever remain the Earl of Baltimore. I am so grateful to have met you when I was a child you asked me if I liked baseball and I replied that I was at my first game. You told me I was going to love it and youwould tell the team to win for me. They won and I was forever hooked pn ORIOLES baseball. Thank you
R.I.P. Earl Weaver. The best manager in Orioles history, possibly even all of MLB. You’ll be missed by all.
We’re bringing the World Series trophy back to Baltimore this upcoming year, for you, Earl!!
Been a baseball fan for 40 years now and growing up in the 70’s, Earl was considered one of the top 3 managers in the game. Watching him come out to argue a call, with his hands in his back pockets at first before becoming much more animated, was classic Earl. I’m happy he was able to experience getting the statue dedicated to him this past season and I’ll miss seeing him in the future. RIP Earl, you were truly one of a kind.
RIP Earl. You will be missed. You are one of the reasons I love the game of baseball. My father and I shared many a father and daughter moment either at Memorial Stadium or in front of the tv. And you were the reason.
He put the B in Baltimore, i loved the passion showed throughout his career for the game he loved so much
Thank you for the memories from a lifelong (42 years old) Orioles fan.
I am so glad I grew up in Baltimore in the Earl Weaver baseball days! I spent most of my summers in the 70’s & 80″s listening to or going to the games and I would not trade it for the world! I am glad I got to see Earl Weaver one more time at the Brooks Robinson statue unveiling in Sepember. RIP Mr. Weaver you will definetly be missed 😥
R.I.P. to the greatest manager that the Baltimore Orioles ever had! Lots of love Earl
Thanks for the Memories Earl! You will be missed!!
Thank you Mr. Weaver for everything that you have done for my beloved Orioles. Not only are you a HOF Manager but a HOF human being as well. My thoughts are with your family during this most difficult time. No doubt heavan got it’s greatest HOF class for a single day on Saturday with the admittance of Stan “The Man” and the Earl of Baltimore! R.I.P. #4!

Rest In Peace, Earl Weaver, the greatest manager of my generation. Nobody ever used an entire 25-man roster like Earl did.
Thank you for everything you did to make “The Orioles Way” a great way. I grew up watching you win baseball games and raise tomatoes. I missed you when you retired and I miss you now.
RIP Earl
Pitching, Defense, and the 3-run Homer. You knew the Oriole Way.
We will never forget the Earl of Baltimore! RIP Mr Weaver!
My condolences to the Weaver family. Earl changed baseball, Baltimore and the Orioles forever. So glad he received his statue at Camden Yards and saw a wining season!
So many great memories to be thankful for. Other than the arguments with the umps, my favorites are when Fullpack Stanhouse came in to close a game.
Go with God now. We will miss you dearly but will take comfort in the memories that you left us. Thank God you are an Oriole!
My dad and I attended spring training years ago and during one game we had seats right behind the Orioles bench. Earl Weaver was there and during the game, because the players were not allowed to sign autographs or really interact with the fans until the game was over, he shook hands and had lengthy conversations with as many fans as possible. My dad spoke to him at length because he grew up watching Earl manage the team and I spoke to him very briefly, thanking him for all he had done for the organization over the years, and then we each got him to autograph a baseball. He couldn’t have been nicer to us and the fans around us. He will certainly be missed but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, Earl Weaver. Thank you for all the wonderful Orioles memories.
I had the great pleasure of watching you and loving your passion for the game and the wonderful memories you gave me. RIP you will be missed!
A colorful and sometimes onery character on the field and a person of true and honorable character off the field. People like Earl Weaver come around but once in a lifetime, if we’re lucky and we certainly were to have him in ours. R.I.P. Mr. Weaver, you will be missed but definitely not forgotten!
My thoughts go out to the Weaver family in this sad time. Earl was and always will be one of the faces of the Orioles organization. He built the foundation on which this organization and team is built upon. I know he has inspired all the players who have and are playing with the Orioles. I know he’ll be watching over the team this year and hopefully the team can lay it all out there for Earl. RIP Earl.
Mr Weaver some of my fondest memories as a child was spent watch you and your Orioles at Camden yards with my Daddy ..May you both rest in peace and I sure hope that you both are able to watch the O’s in heaven! You were a true inspiration! RIP!
As a kid growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, I thought EARL was the best mind in baseball… so the Orioles were to win every game …. if they lost….well the other team had to have cheated.
Earl RIP.You were the first Oriole manager I grew up with.Loved your style and teams.Condolences to your wife and family..
p.s. being near Gettysburg,Pa. we never had tv cable till 1980 so us kids and my dad would listen to the radio i sure miss Chuck thompson& Rex barney just as much…..we sure were lucky , we had the cream of the crop in Baltimore huh?
Earl made my many years as a season ticket holder at memorial Stadium the best years of my life,oh what memories i have. He was and will remain the Best Major league manager ever!!!
i feel inadequate to find words that would properly honor this man. thanks for the memories, Earl. and for shepherding all those young players on those great teams.
I have been an Orioles fan all of my life. Earl was the best manager. It was worth the price of the ticket just to see him in an umpires face. He knew the rule bok cover to cover and could quote page and line number, I am so sorry for your loss, An Ester Shore of Maryland fan,
Lifer O’s fan. Likewise, a Lifer Weaver fan. Having been born in the mid-sixties, Earl seemed like the only manager we ever had. I cried in the stands during “Thanks Earl Day”, then cried in them again at the last game in ’82. Of course I loved your shenanigans with the umpires, but was more impressed with your innovation. Love ya Earl. You will be missed.
Thank you for helping to instill a love of baseball in me..I started being an Orioles fan in the late 70’s and haven’t stopped yet! Rest in Peace Earl..
My sincere condolences to Earl’s family and friends. I consider myself fortunate to have seen The Earl of Baltimore in action for many years, so, of course, there were numerous occasions during which he got ejected. My fondest memory was the final game of the 1982 season. Like most of the fans at Memorial Stadium, I stuck around after the game and cheered for the retiring manager until I was hoarse. Even from my seat in the upper deck I could tell from his body language that Earl was moved by the spontaneous outburst of affection and appreciation. Thank goodness he lived to see his Hall of Fame induction, and to witness the statue unveiling last year.
