As we start the new year, I want to look back in time at the Kansas City Athletics. The Athletics moved to Kansas City for the 1955 season. I was too young to remember much about them. I only recall seeing them play once on TV, and I’m guessing that game would have been in the summer of 1967. It stands out in my memory because I remember seeing the A’s bright green and yellow uniforms. Most teams wore dull greys and whites in those days. Many players and sportswriters made fun of the A’s brightly colored uniforms, but I thought they were the coolest thing I’d ever seen.
