Started with 1972, had the second-best record in either league, but unfortunately, the Twins had the best and they were in my division.... dang it... So, my Oakland A's had to settle for watching the playoffs.
Fast forward to 1976. After revamping the team, especially the offense, I thought I would have a good season, and I did. My 92 wins were 4th best, but again, I was a bridesmaid. Boston had 93 and KC, in my division, won 98.
But, interesting enough, I had top 3 HR hitters in the 1976 AL.
Mike Schmidt 52
Willie Stargell 41
Jim Rice 39
I kinda like my offense with Schmidt, Stargell, Rice, Reggie Jackson, Fred Lynn, Dave Parker, Manny Trillo, Larry Bowa and Sundberg. On the bench, I have Pete Rose, Ron Leflore, Dave Kingman, and Davey Johnson. Lot's a pop.
Well, here's looking forward to 1977!
