Finley the Baseball Heretic Took A's To Kansas City
Charles O Finley, a self made Alabama born insurance magnate, transformed the Kansas City Athletics with green and gold uniforms and bold ideas. Since purchasing the A's for 1 975 000 he has threatened to move the club and pursued a Louisville transfer for 1964 and 1965. Finley rose from hospital bed to wealth, built a nationwide agency, then bought teams after early bids for the Tigers White Sox and Angels failed, provoking jeers from AL owners while persisting with his unconventional plans.
