    Earl Weaver, the fiery Hall of Fame manager who won 1,480 games with the Baltimore Orioles, has died, the team says. He was 82.

    Weaver was traveling on an Orioles fantasy cruise in the Caribbean when he collapsed in his room with wife, Maryanne, at his side on the cruise's ship at about 2 a.m. Saturday, the New York Daily News reported.

    Weaver never regained consciousness, the report said.

    Orioles owner Peter Angelos, in a statement Saturday morning, said "Weaver stands alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball."

    The Duke of Earl, as Weaver was affectionately known in Baltimore, took the Orioles into the World Series four times over 17 seasons but won only one title, in 1970.
