A's Would Have Stayed In Philly With Healthy Mound Ace
Peters burg report details Bobby Shantz recalling injuries that allegedly cost the Athletics their Philadelphia stay and attendance. Roy Mack claims Shantz's arm issues in 1932 and 1933 would have kept the club in Philadelphia, possibly preventing the 1934 sale to Arnold Johnson and move to Kansas City. Shantz, now with the Yankees, says he is healthy and eager to pitch, noting his past weight and a missed starting role under Lou Boudreau.
