Описание: How the 1970s Oakland As-a revolutionary band of brawling winners led by Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, Sal Bando, and Rollie Fingers--won three straight championships and knocked baseball into the modern age

The Oakland As of the early 70s were the most transformative team in baseball history. Never before had an entire organization so collectively traumatized baseballs establishment with its outlandish behavior and business decisions. Or with its indisputable winning record: five straight division titles and three straight championships. The high drama that played out on the field was exceeded only by the drama in the clubhouse and front office. But those As, with their garish uniforms and outlandish facial hair, redefined virtually every aspect of the game for coming generations.

Under the visionary leadership of owner Charles O. Finley, the team assembled such luminary figures as Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, and Vida Blue. Finley acted as his own general manager and-with an insatiable need for control-dictated everything from the playlist of the ballpark organist to the menu for the media lounge. So pervasive was his meddling that one of his managers, Dick Williams, quit in the middle of the championship celebration following Oaklands Game 7 victory over the Mets in the 1973 World Series. The advent of free agency spelled the end of Finleys reign; within two years, his dynasty was lost.

A sprawling, brawling history of one of the games most unforgettable teams, Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic is a paean to a turbulent yet magical time.
