“The most important decision you make each year is which 25 guys to bring north from Florida,” Earl Weaver told us at Fantasy Camp.

      As he chose his roster, Weaver envisioned the role each player would have.

     In his only season as an Oriole, there was no doubt about Reggie Jackson’s status.

     Tim Nordbrook, a utility infielder, sat at the other end of the scale.

     Jackson frequently taunted Nordbrook, “What do you do on this team?”

     In a rare start, Nordbrook saved a run with an inning-ending play at shortstop.

    After the players returned to the dugout, Weaver confronted Jackson, “That’s what he ——- does on this team.”
