Famous baseball manager Earl Weaver was known for such feats of wrath as getting himself kicked out of both ends of a double-header (three times) and getting kicked out of a game during the exchange of lineup cards (twice). But his best-known bit of crustiness is this interview, which I named the number one sports tantrum of all time, despite doubting that it was unscripted.

Well, Baltimore Sun columnist Rick Maese did the legwork to satisfy the curiosity of Weaver admirers everywhere and find the real story behind Earl declaring that “Alice Sweet oughta be worried about where the fuck her next lay is coming from…if she’d get her ass out at the bars at night and go hustling around the goddamn streets she might get a prick stuck in her once in a while.”
