Earl Weaver Wife: Who Is Marianna Osgood?

In 1964 he married Marianna Osgood, a divorcee with a young daughter until his death in 2013. He had four children. He bought a house in Elmira and was content to make his home there.

Earl Sidney Weaver was an American professional baseball manager, author, and television broadcaster. After playing in minor league baseball, he retired without playing in Major League Baseball (MLB).

He became a minor league manager and then managed in MLB for 17 years with the Baltimore Orioles (1968–1982; 1985–86).

Weaver’s style of managing was summed up in the quote: “pitching, defence, and the three-run homer.” He did not believe in placing emphasis on “small balls” tactics such as stolen bases, hit-and-run plays, or sacrifice bunts. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996.

In 1989, Weaver managed the Gold Coast Suns in the new Senior Professional Baseball Association. Less than a week into the season, Weaver was ejected from his first game. He later commented, “These umpires are high school rejects.

The league went for the cheapest umpiring association. There should be no league if this continues.” The Suns failed to make the playoffs in the 1989–90 season and folded after one season.
