The Constellation is one of the most elegant, beautiful airplanes ever. Much of the design work was done by Kelly Johnson (later famous for some of his "Skunk Work" designs) and Howard Hughes. That big 4 engine airliner, designed in the late 30's, had a top speed of 375 MPH - faster than a Japanese Zero! |

Here's a great article. Seems odd that the league would let a business associate of another owner buy a team. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/corner/c042001b.shtml

It's interesting how the crowd used to applaud when their team scored or got on base. Now we all yell and cheer instead. I guess golf is the only sport I can think of where they still applaud.

And we'd be in ****ing first place right now. However, I'll be happy to root for Hosmer, Moose, Gordon, Perez, Holland and Shields for the next several years. Well, hopefully they'll all be here for several years. |

My father was sixteen yrs old playing centerfield for Folger's Coffee in the old 3 & 2 league and he also was on the tarp/ground crew for the A's at the time all the way through high school. Loved every minute of it but did say that Mickey Mantle was a total prick. |
