Ralph Houk 1919 - 2010


"What Houk did best was kick his cap. In a moment of anger, I once saw him kick it from home plate all the way to second. That's a record." - Orioles manager, Earl Weaver

That followed by a "you are next" glance at the umpires could be a very effective managing tool if you ask me.

RIP Ralph Houk

Wow, the collared-jacket-under-jersey look is something else. Also, isn't that Berra standing behind him?

Yep, I see Yogi got 232 at bats that year.
