Favorite team is the A's, even though I was born and raised in Florida. That team was stacked in the late 80's and early 90's.

Anyone know the cause?

The early 70s were the Golden Years of the A's.

It (article) said he got a bout of Pneumonia, and then died. A shame, 65 is much too young..

Well....I'm not that old. I remember being a kid growing up, watching the bash brothers, both the Hendersons. The Eck, Dave Stewart etc.... when they went to 3 straight  World Series

Even throughout all the "money ball " years, they were largely competitive. Now, they are a joke of a franchise, but I'm going to continue to stick by them.
