Overview
Earl Weaver Baseball is a baseball video game designed by Don Daglow and Eddie Dombrower and published in 1987 by Electronic Arts. The artificial intelligence for the computer manager was provided by Baseball Hall of Fame member Earl Weaver, then manager of the Baltimore Orioles, based on a lengthy series of interviews. EWB was a major hit, and along with John Madden Football helped pave the way for the EA Sports brand, which launched in 1992. A Sega Genesis version was planned, but cancelled.
