Welcome to the 1910 Philadelphia Athletics Chatroom!

Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: Gents, it pains me to concede that our beloved Philadelphia no longer has in its possession the necessities, nor the adequate brotherly love to maintain our club.
Rube Oldring oldring_to_find_them: Unheard of! Perhaps one of my friend Pat's new, patented "Philadelphia Style Cheesed Steaks" will change your mind!
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: No, Rube, stop being so unsophisticated. The move looms; city dangers continue to rise.
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: and, frankly, things just haven't been the same since Shibe Park was refurbished to accommodate football.
Chief Bender

JuddNelson: To which city will the Athletics relocate? New York? The other side of New York? A third part of New York.

Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: California.
Rube Oldring

oldring_to_find_them: WHAT?? You're moving us to California??

Connie Mack

ReturnOfTheMack: Yes. Fremont, California.

Chief Bender

JuddNelson: can we stop in kansas city on the way there

Bris Lord

KingOfTheJews: We can't move to Fremont! All of my friends are here! I'll be so boooooored

Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: That's impossible! In Fremont you can enjoy their moderately large lake, competent hillsides, and occasional high school jazz festivals!
Bris Lord

KingOfTheJews: oh godddd

Chief Bender JuddNelson: This is nonsense, Mr. Mack. I've a right mind to tell you to bite my shiny Native American ass!
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: I am not going to spend even one more nickel on tarps to cover all the seats we can't fill. If we're going to have 20 people at the game we should at least have some expensive, nicer carpeting for the team higher-ups to enjoy.
Connie Mack

ReturnOfTheMack: So just stop complaining or I'm going to launch my flying silver Phantasm balls at you.

Chief Bender JuddNelson: Come on, you grand old man, tell us the REAL reason we're moving.
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: All right, you've forced my hand.
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: Having captained this team, born and raised in this area of the city, I find it composing to participate in games of roundball outside of institutions of learning.
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: Before I knew it, a gaggle of roustabouts with clearly nefarious intentions showed up to make trouble in our neighbor-hood.
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: After an inconsequential squabble with the aforementioned, my Mother became frightened and insisted that the team migrate in the direction of my Auntie and Uncle.
Chief Bender JuddNelson: I don't get it.
Connie Mack ReturnOfTheMack: Don't worry, in 90 years Greg Maddux is going to find our situation to be quite hilarious.
