in the first place It is all very well tf say this now in October-but we have the Advantage of hindsight back there in July when it all started When Finley innnmi during the AIl-StaT jreak that he would no longer subject his Oakland Atb- leocs to the drudgery of' daily competition therewas plenty of sentiment supporting Win After the Athletics had the best voaendJost record in baseball and they had' achieved it with of help from Vida Blue Finley said they had at ready proved their superiority and ranting them -go through the charade of playing out the season against those humpty-dumpties in the American League West would be film demanding that a Bobby Fischer demean himself and take part in the United States sonal matches wifli inferior chess players 1 Ibis attitude make Finley popular with all the faas and seme baseball men found him arrogant abra-3 live and downright obnedouL lhatfiDy mule he had for niascet-those ged-awful uniforms he deigned far his players bush Stunts like paying Us employes $3M te let thetr whiskers grew for a Moustache Day promotion unties like these irritated many Still when tteamete the playoffs everybody la the American League West wanted the
