Earl goes out to the mound and purposefully waits for the ump to come out to the mound. Earl then "introduces" Palmer to the ump, saying that he is a future HOFer and that if the ump will just tell them where the strike zone is Palmer will be happy to throw it there. Good stuff, I never get tired of Earl Weaver stories.FreeTheBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445814327855127631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-81330622476944171652010-02-09T12:46:30.817-05:002010-02-09T12:46:30.817-05:00Max - Earl had a love/hate relationship with most ...Max - Earl had a love/hate relationship with most of his players. He rode them hard, knowing that their dislike for him would fuel the competitive fires. At least, that's what I've heard. I think he knew how talented Palmer was, and rode him even harder because of it. Of course, Palmer wasn't afraid to give an earful back to him!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-41835307209874663732010-02-08T04:35:54.293-05:002010-02-08T04:35:54.293-05:00And some sweet BVDs. and he never got around to g...And some sweet BVDs. and he never got around to giving up a grand slam. and earl weaver still hated his guts, lord knows why.
