"Th inimitable Earl Weaver on: Umpires who don't know the rules; The strike and the Player's Association; Jim Palmer's ulnar nerve; The time he stole third base - and wouldn't give it back; His feud with Ron Luciano; His friendly rivalry with Billy Martin; The Baltimore Oriole kangaroo court; His theory of the loaded gun; His storm relationships and long-standing friendships with his players; How he invented the turned-around cap to facilitate arguing with umpires; How he set a record selling used cars; The media; Why he hates the sacrifice bunt. It's What You Learn After You know It All That Counnts is as full of fire as Weaver himself. It includes stories about many of the big names in baseball - Frank Robinson, Reggie Jackson, and George Steinbrenner, to name a few - as well as insights into the game at all its levels, from the bushes to the World Championship." - from the rear outer jacket. "Earl Weaver is a baseball original, a man who spent twenty years in the minors preparing himself to become the best manager in the majors. And many experts now feel he is the finest manager in history (his winning percentage is second only to Joe McCarthy's, and Earl achieved his record with a less-talented team). In his forthright autobiography - It's What You Learn After You Know It ALl That Counts - Weaver reveals the secrets of his success, providing insights into the workings of the game. For example, he has used hypnotism as well as salesmanship in his attempts to reach his players. The Baltimore Orioles' skipper is equally forthright on inept umpires (including one who stole a World Series game from him), league officials (including AL President Lee MacPhail, whom Earl charges with ignorance of the rules of baseball), and the team owners "who tried to destroy the Player's Association." The book, like the man, is both feisty and funny, full of stories about such protean personalities as Jim Palmer, Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin, George Steinbrenner, and the inimitable Earl Williams ("I don't think he ever ran out a ground ball, but we won two division titles with him"), as well as all of his great players including Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, and Boog Powell. Weaver is also candid about himself, telling about the time he faked a heart attack on the field to make a point with the umpires, about the time he ordered an intentional walk with the bases loaded, and about his numerious battles with his own players, whom he allows to say whatever they want about him. "When all is said and done," Earl writes, "all I want anyone to say about me is, 'Earl Weaver - he sure was a good sore loser." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
