I clearly remember that season for the A's. Growing up, the early 70's A's were my favorite team, and just stuck with them.

1979, freshman year in college. The first baseman mentioned in article was Dave Revering. He would routinely count and personally report attendance. If the official attendance was stated at 3000, he would say he only counted 600.

Also had an article taped to my dorm room wall saying: "Finley to sell A's for 6 million."

Sad day for Baltimore; sadder day for Baseball.
