( CNN ) -- Baseball Hall of Fame manager Earl Sidney Weaver , who led the Baltimore Orioles to four pennants and a World Series title with a pugnacity toward umpires , died Saturday of an apparent heart attack at age 82 , Major League Baseball said . Dubbed `` the Earl of Baltimore , '' Weaver managed the American League team for 17 seasons and amassed a record of 1,480 wins and 1,060 losses , including five 100-win seasons ( 1969-1971 and 1979-1980 ) . He and the team won the World Series in 1970 . The tenacious Weaver was outspoken with some players as well as umpires . At the same time , he was open to innovation , using computers to analyze opposing pitchers and pioneering the introduction of radar guns to measure fastballs and other pitches . On the matter of marching out of the dugout to give the umps a piece of his mind , Weaver said : `` The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager , because it wo n't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game . '' Stan Musial dead at 92 . Team managing partner Peter Angelos described Weaver as standing `` alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball . '' `` This is a sad day for everyone who knew him and for all Orioles fans . Earl made his passion for the Orioles known both on and off the field , '' Angelos said in a statement . Maryland Gov . Martin O'Malley said Weaver was `` a beloved Baltimore legend . '' `` Many will remember Earl for ushering in a new era of success for the Baltimore Orioles , '' O'Malley said . `` He led the O 's to four World Series -- including the memorable World Championship victory of 1970 . '' Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1996 , Weaver joked in his induction speech about his feuds with star pitcher Jim Palmer -- also in the Hall of Fame -- by saying he was the player `` I had more arguments with than my wife . '' Weaver managed the team from 1968 to 1982 and 1985 to 1986 . He was regarded as among the most ejected managers in baseball -- more than 90 times . He thanked umpires in his induction speech , saying the game ca n't be played without them . `` I 'm serious when I say their integrity and honesty is , and must be , beyond reproach , '' Weaver said . `` Now counting balls and strikes and close plays on the bases , they must have made over a million calls while I was managing , and except for those 91 or 92 times I disagreed , they got the other ones right . '' People we 've lost in 2013 : They lives they lived .
