Great Quote from Casey. I found another article about the trades handed down to me from my Brother in Laws. Boy they were paranoid of those dealings.

Also:

"Bravo! One of the highlights of my life was seeing Mickey Mantle knock one over Charley Finley's 40-foot high chain llnk fence in right field onto Brooklyn Avenue. A mule in left field, sheep grazing on the hill in right, a secondhand scoreboard from Braves Field in Boston and a mechanical rabbit delivering new baseballs to the umpires...to a kid like me, it was Disneyland and I loved every minute of it."

Great memories Rick! I never made it to a game at Municipal but old Charley sure knew how to spruce up a game. I also found this KC Paper in my stash from the first KC A's game in 1955. Sorry, could not fit the entire page in my scanner.

While on the subject of KC. I did find this that I forgot I had from the KC Blues 1924 Minor league team. Great thread!
