by signing up you agree to our terms of service The colorful A's, led by the flamboyant owner who experimented with orange baseballs and the designated runner and trotted out a mule as a team mascot, had won three straight World Series titles during the decade.
In his autobiography,"Veeck As in Wreck," two-time White Sox owner Bill Veeck wrote that Finley tried to latch on with the syndicate led by Hank Greenberg and Veeck that bought the majority share of the Sox before the 1959 season. Veeck was agreeable to the arrangement until he discovered that Finley was trying behind Veeck's back to buy the club himself.
That move, by the way, hastened expansion because MLB promised to deliver a new team to Kansas City. As a result, the Royals and the Pilots opened for business in 1969. By July 30, 1975, the Tribune's David Condon was reporting,"Plans are progressing speedily for a world championship baseball team to be wearing Chicago White Sox uniforms and playing in White Sox Park next season."
