Obit watch part II.

Saturday, January 19th, 2013

ESPN is reporting the death of Earl Weaver, the colorful former manager of the Baltimore Orioles.

He was ejected 91 times, including once in both games of a doubleheader.

Obit watch: January 19, 2013.

Both Lawrence and my mother (of all people: I mean, I love my mom, and she knows I’m a “Wire” fan, but I’m not sure she’s ever watched an episode) sent me obits for Robert F. Chew, aka “Proposition Joe”. (Baltimore Sun. A/V Club.)

Don’t have much more to add to those: David Simon has a blog entry with no comments, and the A/V Club already links to the best videos of Proposition Joe. Apparently, he died of natural causes, and not from wearing a suit when it was 85  f’ing degrees out.
