  Earl Weaver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weaver eschewed the use of so-called "inside baseball" tactics such as the stolen base, the hit-and-run, or the sacrifice bunt, preferring a patient approach ("waiting for the homerun"), saying "If you play for one run, that's all you'll get" and "On offense, your most precious possessions are your 27 outs".
Weaver claims to have never had a sign for the hit-and-run, citing that the play makes both the baserunner and the hitter vulnerable, as the baserunner is susceptible to being caught stealing and the hitter is required to swing at any pitch thrown.
Weaver joined the Orioles in 1957 as skipper of their Fitzgerald club in the Class D Georgia-Florida League, where his team finished nine games under.500; he would never again have a losing season as a minor league pilot.
