OK. I lived in KC since 1952. I remember when the A’s arrived in 1955. I remember Bill Vaughan predicting every year that the A’s would win the pennant. I remember the A’s being basically a Yankee Farm club. I remember Finley moving the A’s. I remember the three losses to the Yankee’s in the playoffs. I remember the 1980 W.S. loss to the Phillies. I remember the improbable down by 3-1 in both the playoffs and W.S. win in 1985. Just give me one more.

Stop your complaining. I have lived in Buffalo all my life. You have a World Series championship and a Super Bowl with the Chiefs. Buffalo has NO Super Bowls or Stanley Cups in six tries. Two AFL championships don't count, as the AFL was considered an inferior league at the time. I just want one.

Me too, though don't remember too much re the A's other than everyone loathed Charlie Finley. Glad they moved to the left coast as he fits there very well.

We've loved the Royals since day one and continue to.
