Re: Trivia time!!! What pitcher has a lifetime record of 23-1 and ERA of 2.46 against one team??
I remember the Mike Andrews incident very well.
Finley forced Andrews to sign a phony affidavit saying he was hurt, but Williams stood behind Andrews and really pissed off Finley.
Great trivia question.....Who did Finley want to replace Andrews with?
answer...Manny Trillo
The Athletics were a very interesting team in the 70's.
Every player hated Finley's guts. Sal Bando especially disliked him.
The players fought amongst themselves, but when they took the field they were a great team. I remember Reggie and Blue Moon Odom would have fist fights all the time in the clubhouse.
I have followed this team since they moved to Oakland in 1968. Have some great memories with this team.
