Self-Made Finley Fights A’s Move and Corporate Fame
Charles O. Finley, 45, a self-made millionaire and A’s owner, built wealth from insurance and odd jobs before buying Kansas City Athletes for 1.975 million. He has threatened to move the franchise, studied Dallas-Fort Worth and Oakland sites, and signed a two-year deal to shift the A’s to Louisville for 1964 and 1965. Finley, energetic and outspoken, once faced near death from tuberculosis and rose to run a far-reaching insurance business while pursuing radical baseball ideas that challenged AL owners.
