Some fun trivia about the Oakland A's

[WildfireMicro]

They used to be in Kansas City, and before their move to Oakland in 1968, thier owners signed a contract to play in Louisville Kentucky in 1964 to play as the Kentucky Colonels. The other American League owners blocked the move however because it would have been to small a market. The stadium they would have played in was old Cardinal Stadium (which has since been torn down), where the Cardinals played football and the Louisville Redbirds (now Louisville Bats I think) played Minor league baseball.
