"How is it you guys came to be Oakland!?! A's fans?"

I reckon I musta just turned 8 in '71 when this team in Green&Gold uniforms got swept in the AL Series by someone...but I thought Campy Campeneris and Vida Blue and Sal Bando and Catfish Hunter and BlueMoon Odom and Joe Rudi and--especially--Reggie Jackson were the kewlest things since sliced bread!! Liked 'em ever since...MUD

That was the Baltimore Orioles of the Jim Palmer era. But the A's came back in '72, '73, and '74 to win three World Championships.
