"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."

Boy, do I know that.

Being a child in '69, I really wasn't aware of the Miracle Mets. That was the Palmer era O's. However in '73 I was well aware of the team in green and gold.

Yep...that 24-9 year that Vida Blue had was incredible, plus we had Holtzman and Dobson and Catfish fer the rotation and Rollie Fingers reinventing the Stopper role. Great fun, especially with nutty ol' Charley O. Finley stirrin' the mix!!

If we could sign one or two of our OWN FRee Agents, we might just be able to re-achieve those Glory Years...MUD

BTW...you reckon the J-E-T-S JetsJetsJets are gonna match the Skins' offer fer the KR of yers?! Can he play the backfield at all?! We seem to be collecting skatbacks...LOL!! I'm still predicting Emmitt Smith Leads Redskins to Super Bowl!!
