About Me
I managed the Orioles with intensity, flair, and acerbic wit for 17 seasons. I fashioned an impressive .583 winning percentage bolstered by five 100-win seasons (1969-1971 and 1979-1980). Known for my innovative managerial style and my colorful confrontations with the men in blue, the "Earl of Baltimore" won 1,480 games, six American League East titles, four pennants and the 1970 World Series. During 1972 spring training in Miami, Florida, I pioneered the use of radar guns in professional baseball to track the speed of pitches.
