John Szefc, head coach, men's baseball, University of Maryland:
“Earl Weaver is an absolute Hall of Fame manager. There are only 19 managers in the Hall of Fame, and he is one of them. That says a lot.
“I grew up in New York and was lucky enough to attend many games at Yankee Stadium, many against Weaver’s Orioles. Those were always great games and Billy Martin and Weaver could really put on a show.
“He was just a hard-nosed baseball manager and I am sure a lot of managers emulate him today.”
