Are you advocating assassination?

Sounds like it... I'm just glad he didn't make a list.

Not advocating it at all - just stating that many people have been pushed to the edge and this will put some over that edge. Or do you thing that everyone will just roll over and take this treatment?

The ones who wish to stay alive, or out of prison? Yes.

Great player

Only two members of the 400+ homer club have more lifetime BB than strikeouts: Ted Williams and Stan Musial.

He was baseball's Gentleman Ambassador. And as fine a batter to have ever played the game.

Stan played at the level of Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams

But got little of the attention. He is little known outside of St Louis

He didn't get the big city press, but he was well-known throughout the midwest and beyond due to the Cardinal's huge radio network, anchored by 50,000 watt KMOX. For a long time, St. Louis was the westernmost franchise, so there were a lot of Cards fans in Texas, California, and the heartland.

Earl Weaver, former Orioles manager, dies at 82

A hot-tempered bantam who screamed curses at umpires and sometimes at his own players, Earl Weaver made the Baltimore Orioles into a baseball powerhouse during his 17 years as manager.

He was infamous for his explosive diatribes, which got him thrown out of almost 100 games, and for nervously smoking cigarettes throughout games, but no one could deny that the “Earl of Baltimore” was one of the greatest managers in baseball history.


Orioles officials announced that Mr. Weaver died Friday while on a team-sponsored Caribbean cruise with many of his former players. He was 82. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.


Known as the “little genius,” Mr. Weaver had an inventive baseball mind and used every imprecation in his colorful vocabulary to inspire his players. Once, when one of his pitchers was struggling on the mound, an exasperated Mr. Weaver implored, “If you know how to cheat, start now.”


He was a crafty strategist who preached a simple formula for baseball success — good pitching, solid defense and three-run homers.

Weaver and Musial were teammates for one season.

Damn boy! Stan The Man was my favorite baseball player too. Larry Carlton, Stan Musial, what's next, Ronald Reagan?
