You know....if Weaver or Billy Martin were around today...they wouldn’t last more than a season because of the sports media and current trends.

Ozzie Guiilen didn’t last more than a season, but he said he liked Fidel Castro.

Weaver would have been adored by the sabremetrics crowd. Weaver was so far ahead of his time that there are managers in baseball STILL catching up to him.

Martin was a truly terrible manager and an even worse human being who stumbled into some really good teams.
