3. As An A's Fan, I Think You'll Like This
Sun Dec 22, 2024, 04:31 PM

When I was a kid, I was a Cub fan. (Still am.)
But, I wanted a favorite American League team.
Well, it's against the rules in Chicago to be a fan of both the Cubs & Sox.
And, I didn't want to be a Yankee fan. Too easy.
So, I decided on the Kansas City A's. They had Campineris, Green, Hunter, and they had the cool white shoes and the yellow & green uniforms.
When they moved to Oakland, it changed nothing for me. I was over the moon when they won 3 straight WS titles, especially since they won the first 2 against Cincinnati & the Mets. (I hated both of those teams.)
I'm more a casual fan now, so I only care hor the Cubs are doing, but I dug the A's for a long time.
