The Athletics never should have left Philadelphia. When the Athletics left Philadelphia they left a gaping hole in our civic character and frankly the sport was cheapened.

Listen I have been watching the Phillies my entire life and I’m sick of it. Maybe Just a straight franchise swap. Oakland can call them the Oakies, and we’ll get to go back to having a team with a real name.

In conclusion, please google a pic of Connie Mack and think long and hard about what it would mean if all managers wore suits again and Philadelphia got the As back. Time’s yours.
