Umpires tossed Weaver out of 96 games, fourth all-time, but he managed in fewer games than everybody else in the top five. He is the only manager to get tossed from both games of a doubleheader twice. The only men in the top ten with a higher ejection rate are Frisch, whom Weaver saw play as a boy in St. Louis, and his old Orioles boss, Paul Richards.
