I'm not known for being a huge baseball fan, but this list of best manager ejections is great. Earl Weaver is my new idol, and so is the umpire he is arguing with.


Help request: Can someone please explain to me, preferably in short, easily understandable words, what a "crown bolt" is, and how it differs from other bolts. Feel free to mock this obvious defect in my masculinity for not knowing this.

A "crown bolt" is what occurs after the thief has removed the crown from the King's head in the presence of witnesses and armed guards.

two things about the argument: they were in the first innning, one batter into it (notice the scoreboard). secondly, i love the ump telling him that he's good at 'blowing the world series' and earl's comeback is 'i've won more than i've lost' the ump tells him to check the record and earl tells him he's talking about world series games as opposed to the actual series. that is some funny shit, i vote for the ump winning the argument.bread

Maybe its the brand name and not a special kind of bolt.

Crown bolt or could it be called the crown nut. The crown nut on an axle has slots to help lock the cotter pin. The nut with slots resembles a crown.
