The Oakland A's rise in 1971 with five straight division championships and three straight World Series championships coincided with my initial interest in baseball. I liked both of the Bay Area teams, I still do. Such a fun team, the Oakland A's. The A's have had a series of subpar owners, IMHO. Mrs. Mick was the college roommate of the daughter of one of them. Not surprised that the A's have suffered as much as they had.

If the A's had been allowed to move to the South Bay...if only.
