Charlie Finley


On this date in 1960, Charlie Finley buys a 52% share of the A's.

"If a manager of mine ever said someone was indispensable, I'd fire him."

I wish he'd repurchase the Oakland A's (from his grave) and bring back some of the gimmicks... especially since they're talent pool is dry.

Aw, ya gotta call him Charlie O Finley! Also, he's a villain in these parts. He took the A's from Kansas City, where they had never won, and won 3 straight World Series. NOT cool!
