Sometime in July or early August, Buck Showalter will have more major league wins as a manager than Earl Weaver. That's right. Showalter, the now legendary Orioles manager who can probably manage this team as long as he wants to, will have more wins than the other Orioles managerial legend.
Of course, Showalter, who begins the 2017 season with 547 Orioles wins, can probably only dream of passing Weaver for most Orioles wins. He trails Weaver by 933 and would have to manage into his seventies.
Last season, Showalter passed Paul Richards for second-most wins in franchise history, and in May, will have the second-longest tenure in team history.
