Show up, Grady......
Well, up to Santana as Grady did put the ball in play to the right side. A wild pitch or balk could score the run at least......

2523After two decades of decline, however, the team left Philadelphia for Kansas City in 1955 and became the Kansas City Athletics. After 13 mostly uneventful seasons in the Midwest, the team moved to Oakland in 1968.

Surber and I traded '68 recollections and summaries a few years ago. The Tet Offensive, among them.
That's why the December Apollo 8 flight was such a special way to end that year.
