Is this where we can get tips on tomato plants? |

That was well performed by Weaver. I'd like to hang with him. He seems like a riot. That old bastard is still alive right? |

This is one of the best bits of audio I have heard in a while. I had no idea this guy was so vulgar. Lee Elia has to sit in on deck compared to this rant. |

The best part is how Tom Marr manages to maintain complete control and composure while Old Earl launches F-bombs. |

I agree, as if he can still steer the interview back on the road. The last part about the tomatoes had me cracking up out loud. This is the kind of manager we need in Chicago. |

The entire thing was a put-on, but it's always funny even the 50th time I heard it. Of course, it never actually was heard on the air as it was just an audio check in which Earl was having fun. But it has had a 10 year or more life being sent around the net. Elia's is much better in that is was actually real. |

Coast, you have said this before. Do you have inside info to prove it? I like to think Earl was in a particularly surly mood and did not want to do the manager's show one day. He therefore gave ol' Tom the business and said here's you fucking manager's show. Go fuck yourself. Stoney would probably know what the real answer is. I think Earl would do just that. He was a cantankerous old curmudgeon, a true crusty old baseball man. |

Not sure what to believe now but it was a priceless piece of audio. |

I saw the story about it somewhere years ago, Reason. I'll find it again hopefully. It's pretty obvious really. No radio station would have allowed those words over the airwaves. I'm not sure the year of this rant, but it would have put the license at risk in any era of the FCC. Doesn't make it any less funny to me though. |

Obviously, it didn't make it over the airwaves. However, that doesn't mean it was planned by anyone other than Earl and Tom just plays along. But, you're right it doesn't make it any less entertaining. |

I heard the same story as Coast. Earl just messing around. Even Earl cracks up toward the end. |

The Earl Weaver thing was totally staged, and done for their own amusement. Lee Elia's tirade? Not so. The batboy was on with Bruce and Chet and he said back then there were 3,000 people per game, and there was one guy about 10 rows behind the dugout that was just riding Elia and the players all game long, and Elia blew a cog. Keep in mind when the stadium is that empty, you can hear EVERYTHING that is said, there's no 'white noise' of the murmur of fans. Here's Elia's deal UNedited.... classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv23pqH9 ... re=related |
