Kansas City Athletics documentary

Post by KCMax »

Its been in the works for years, but there is a preview available. I am fascinated by this overlooked period in Kansas City, and baseball history.

I was just a kid while the A's were here but I went to tons of games.  I loved the old Municipal Stadium and it ripped my heart out when Finley moved the Royals to Oakland.  What really stunk was that everyone could see the A's were an up and coming team and it was only a couple of years later that the Oakland dynasty began.  Many of the players that were to become all-stars got their starts in KC but were still in early development, guys like Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter.

I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to make a documentary showing a mule's ass (not reduntant) going down Brooklyn Ave from 22nnd in the middle of the night in 1967, but that's just me. Thank you Charlie-O!!

I thought this was an interesting extensive look at how the Athletics came to move from Philadelphia to Kansas City.
