(JULIO AGUILAR)

It's the end of an era. According to sources, Buck Showalter's reign as the king (OK, fine, manager) of the Orioles is at an end. You know what will never end? The memories he left behind. Let's look back at some of our favorite Showalter moments from his time in the Orioles dugout:

The many expressions of Buck Showalter

It's a kaleidoscope of emotion!

He still loves a prank

Just because he's a stoic presence in the dugout doesn't mean he doesn't have a good sense of humor, as evidenced by when he pranked Darren O'Day:

What are we going to do without Showalter press conferences to guide us through our days?

His favorite baseball movie is "The Sandlot"

He clearly has impeccable taste.

As we said before: Impeccable taste.

He is not a baby

If anyone was worried that he was trapped in some sort of "Benjamin Button" situation, wonder no more:
