not for athletic fans, i hear that gibson is in the early stages of parkinson's disease...

I am an A's fan

That footage is burned into my memory forever. That A's team never maximized the full potential that they had. Three straight World Series appearances, and only 1 ring to show for it.

I remember that shocking sweep by the Reds in 1990

They had an all-time cast of characters on those teams.

Awesome thread! I haven't seen a half of these amazing photos. If I find some, I'll post them here. But it will be hard to find something better than what was already posted here.

not an action shot but you can appreciate how hard it was to hit the ball out in centerfield at the old polo grounds... only 5 guys ever did it... ruth, aaron,joe adcock, luke easter and lou brock... fence was only 483 ft away.

Kermit Washington and Rudy Tomjanovich? Life sentences for both. One of the most un-funny episodes in sports.
