Earl Weaver's managing philosophy ... in a profanity-laced tirade

Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver had a relatively simple managerial philosophy -- hold the other team with pitching and defense, and blast a couple of big homers to win it. He still argued over the details -- which is why he holds the A.L. record for ejections, with 98. But his managing style certainly didn't hurt the O's, who won four A.L. flags under him.

Weaver spoke about his philosophy in a brief discussion on "Manager's Corner" -- an exchange which almost certainly never made it to air. If you don't mind a little language, so to speak, you might find this brief interview amusing.
