Weaver took criticism for having Boog Powell play throughout the ’71 Series despite suffering an injury that caused obvious pain every time he was at bat. Unfortunately for Weaver, that wasn’t the only World Series gaffe to which Haller could be referring. Perhaps it was the genesis for his sixth law: Don’t play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame. I doubt the lesson was lost on the astute Weaver. If ever there was a time for Weaver to stray from his “pitching, defense, and three-run homer” philosophy, it was probably then. The victory gave the Pirates a much needed toehold in the Series before they eventually overcame a 3-games-to-1 deficit to claim the championship. Pittsburgh scored a run in the top of the ninth and then held on to win 3–2 and tie the series at a game apiece. Instead, Lowenstein hit into a double play and erased both base runners. If Weaver had called for a bunt, the Orioles would have been in excellent position to plate one or more runs to keep the pressure on the Pirates. The O’s had runners on first and second base John Lowenstein was at bat. Haller is most likely referring to Game 2 of the 1979 Series when Baltimore and Pittsburgh were tied 2–2 in the bottom of the eighth. Haller smugly inquires, “What are they gonna put you in the Hall for? Fuckin’ up World Series’?” It comes after Weaver, once again in Haller’s face, promises that it is he who will be remembered when all is said and done it is he who will be in the Hall of Fame.

If you watch the Haller clip on YouTube long enough, you’ll hear the assailed umpire make a comment that cuts deep beneath Weaver’s bristly façade. 583 winning percentage, six division titles, four pennants, and the 1970 World Series championship. All told, it was enough for him to pile up a. Weaver’s pitchers won 20 games on 22 occasions (six went on to win the Cy Young Award), his fielders won 34 Gold Gloves, and his clubs were in the top five in home runs in the American League 11 times. The catch phrase was as short as the man himself and packed every bit as much punch thanks to his ability to stack the Orioles year after year with players to supplement the threepronged attack. Though his laws are sound, Weaver was best known for his succinct managerial philosophy: Pitching, defense, and the three-run homer. Weaver even has a law for dealing with his constant nemeses: 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. He addresses defense by noting that the key step for an infielder is the first one-to the left or right, before the ball is hit. He has two laws for pitching, one of which justifies his use of the four-man rotation the other designates long relief as the best place for a rookie pitcher. Two of them prove his preference for big plays and big innings: The easiest way around the bases is with one swing of the bat and, If you play for one run, that’s all you’ll get. It’s packed with insights and observations from Weaver’s career, but there are also ten laws that delineate his managerial philosophy. Of the three books to his credit, it’s Weaver on Strategy that has left the greatest impression on baseball minds since its publication in 1984.
