Publisher Description "An exciting and engrossing book with stories that are worth telling. This work will engage fans of Charlie O. Finley and the Oakland Athletics, along with anyone captivated by baseball history." -- Library Journal, starred review The Oakland As of the early 1970s: Never before had an entire organization so collectively traumatized baseballs establishment with its outlandish behavior and business decisions. The high drama that played out on the field--five straight division titles and three straight championships--was exceeded only by the drama in the clubhouse and front office. Under the visionary leadership of owner Charles O. Finley, the team assembled such luminary figures as Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, and Vida Blue, and with garish uniforms and revolutionary facial hair, knocked baseball into the modern age. Finleys insatiable need for control--he was his own general manager and dictated everything from the ballpark organists playlist to the menu for the media lounge--made him ill-suited for the advent of free agency. Within two years, his dynasty was lost. A sprawling, brawling history of one of the games most unforgettable teams, Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic is a paean to the sports most turbulent, magical team, during one of major league baseballs most turbulent, magical times.
