...or Philadelphia...

The Philadelphia Athletics won 9 American League pennants, appeared in 8 World Series, winning 5 of them before leaving for KC in 1955. The Phildelphia Phillies have yet to reach any of these records. The 1929 Phidelphia A's are regarded as the best baseball team ever, being statistically better than the 1927 Yankees. The decline of the A's in Philly resulted from manager Connie Mack becoming the owner and his refusal to pay for good talent. The old man in the tower in The Natural is based on Connie Mack and his office in the Shibe Field (later Connie Mack Stadium) tower.
