Didn’t the Pirates have their first winning season in years in 2018 or 2019?

Correct, the Angels haven't had a winning season since 2015, which is remarkable given that they've run high payrolls, and had the best player in the game as well as last year's MVP.

Hey Bobbbb... Baseball Ref lists the 24 best players for each team. I just looked at Pittsburg and they have Wagner at #1 and Clemente next.
You saw Clemente at Seals and CP and when you were a kid you saw Wagner (not Leon) play. What do you think?

Henderson - #24.
I didn’t know EcK’s number so I looked it up. What I discovered (in addition to his #) is the A’s have not retired any numbers from their Philadelphia-era. Weird. You would think Connie Mack would have had an honorary designation (like Walter Haas) or that Al Simmons (among other players) would have had their numbers retired.

It's really interesting. The Philadelphia Athletics had some of the greatest players in baseball history play for them: Lefty Grove, Jimmie Foxx, Eddie Collins, Mickey Cochrane; but evidently the Oakland policy is that that the franchise's history begins with their move to Oakland, and that the Philadelphia and Kansas City eras are a separate thing.

And don't forget those A's who rode the KC/NYC shuttle to give the Yanks a little extra for the stretch runs in the 50's.
