...and there's Brooks... and Palmer and Quellar and McNally and Ripken and MaGregor and Flanagan and Eddie Murray. Man they had some players back then. I didn't particularly care for Weaver, but he was a HOF manager.. a winner.
He was also able to get along with Palmer well enough that the team didn't suffer. Different times.
