invisible airwave Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Even as a non Angels fan, this is unfortunate. You hate to see it in someone of his stature who still has some seasons left to play.

I could have sworn it was Arthur, but it was really Arnold Johnson, owner of the Kansas City A's, who supplied the Yankees with talent from his franchise as needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that effing guy; he was real POS as an owner, and it's too bad the early '70s A's got good while he still owned the team because it's left a sort of legacy as just a kooky guy, but he was actively working against his own teams quite often. Yeah, he'd approve, then call a press conference to say he told is GM not to sell, while badgering his GM for not selling more of the players.

You might be thinking of Charlie Finley, who was also a bad owner, in ways that would take more time to detail than I've got. Here's the Wiki blurb on Arnold Johnson. Quote Rumors abounded almost as soon as the ink dried on the purchase that there had been massive collusion between Johnson and the Yankees, especially when the Yankees opted not to force Johnson to pay them an indemnity for moving the Athletics. Under major-league rules of the time, by virtue of owning the Blues, the Yankees also owned the major league rights to Kansas City.[2] Those claims grew louder with a series of trades between the Yankees and A's. With few exceptions, these trades were heavily slanted in favor of the Yankees, with the A's getting very little in return. For example, ten players from the 1961 Yankees, reckoned as one of the best teams of all time, came from the A's.[4] The trades led fans and other teams to accuse the A's of being little more than a Yankee farm team at the major league level. Bill Veeck, for instance, recalled that under Johnson, the A's were "nothing more than a loosely controlled Yankee farm club."[5] In March 1960, Johnson was returning from watching the Athletics in spring training when he was fatally stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage. He died at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida on March 3 at the age of 54.[6] Later that season, his estate sold its controlling interest in the team to Charles O. Finley, who moved the A's to Oakland and assembled a sports dynasty there in the early 1970s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the Wiki blurb on Arnold Johnson. Yeah, you're right. I had my bad owners of the Kansas City A's mixed up; Johnson was the Yankee-friendly one who died about '60, I think; Finley was the one who denied he was trying to move the team while visiting Dallas, Oakland, Seattle, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Brewers @ Red Sox: Brewers’ color commentator Bill Schroeder, yesterday and today, called the ball park “Wrigley Field”. Maybe by tomorrow, he’ll realize that they’re in BOSTON. The very high green wall and the lack of ivy may clue him in….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
