In the past week or so, it has come to my attention that some of the Camden Chat community are not familiar with why exactly Earl Weaver is probably one of the 5 greatest managers of all time and how far he was ahead of his time.  Below is an excellent starting point, Earl Weaver's 10 Laws.

Weaver's Second Law: If you don't make any promises to your players you won't have to break them

Weaver's Third Law: The easiest way around the bases is with one swing of the bat

Weaver's Fourth Law: Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs

Weaver's Fifth Law: If you play for one run, that's all you'll get

Weaver's Sixth Law: Don't play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame

Weaver's Seventh Law: It's easier to find four good starters than five

Weaver's Eighth Law: The best place for a rookie pitcher is in long relief


Weaver's Ninth Law: The key step for an infielder is the first one - left or right - but before the ball is hit


Weaver's Tenth Law: The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game
