Does Boone have a Connie Mack in his bones?

TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES 
IN THE SAME SEASON 
THAT THEY WERE SHUT OUT
IN 3 STRAIGHT REGULAR GAMES 
WAS THE 1913 PHILADELPHIA A'S."

The Athletics also kept their gm and manager for decades well beyond their usefulness.

...and went 42 years between championships.

It required a new owner.

BOOM, Rufus..."it required a new owner." As a guy I used to work with often said, "Shit rolls downhill." Or, more popularly, "The fish stinks at the head." Pescadero Hal will one day ride out of town on his tricycle, pulling his trailer of gold bars to heaven - if you believe in such things - or hell, maybe, and we'll either have his moron progeny or some Bezos-type monster at the helm. I'm not in the "anybody but Hal" contingent. HE and HE ALONE is the reason we still have Brian, who is the reason we still have Boone & Company.

I meant to say "I'm NOW in the 'anybody but Hal' contingent," but I'm a lazy SOB who forgets to proof his posts. Sic transit gloria Mounds Bar.

Too true, too true. Hal is the shit head of this organization.

Remember, his name was Cornelius McGillicuddy.

P.T. Barnum told him it sounded like a clown's name. 🤡
