The Bookshelf;
 Markusen, a senior researcher at the National
Baseball Hall of Fame Library, presents a compelling case for classifying the A's of the
'70s as a sports dynasty. The A's were also controversial, starting with renegade owner
Charlie Finley, who scoffed at baseball tradition and chafed at its clubby attitudes.
Markusen explains how the foundation of the team was created, the subtle midseason trades
Finley made to cover weaknesses, and the clubhouse controversies that often detracted from
the team's on-field success. This is a carefully researched study of the team that was
built in the old baseball world of the reserve clause and was disbanded with the onset of
free agency, effectively bridging the game's two key eras. Buy this book on sale now at Amazon.com
