Interviewed him for profile for SPORT magazine about 30 years ago. He was indeed, a riot. Turns out we both saw Don Zimmer's last HR. He was manager of the Buffalo club around 1967, which moved to my hometown of Niagara Falls due to race riots. As sometimes happened in those days, when rosters got short, managers who had played in the bigs would activate themselves for a day or two. So Zim did that and hit a dinger. When I told Weaver that, he said he was managing the Rochester club at the time, and the dinger was hit off--Jim Palmer! Weaver, who had love/hate relationship with Palmer ,said he never let him forget it...
