This is another in my series of players who made their major league debuts in Kansas City as members of the Athletics. Dick Green first came to my attention when I was six years old. A friend of my father’s had gone to an Athletics game in 1967 and gave me the program when he got back to town. I loved that old Athletics program and still have it. It’s a fascinating look at the direction the team was heading. Naturally, the first two pages of the magazine are dedicated to owner Charlie O. Finley. I’ll just leave that nugget for you to chew on.
