Charlie O Finley, then owner of the A's, proposed it in the 1973. He's also the one who put the A's in kelley green, gold and white, hired sprinter Herb Washington to pinch run, tried a mechanical rabbit to pop up behind the plate to have a fresh ball for the umpire, and tried to trade a couple of players for cash only, which was overruled by the commissioner.How many kids are taking steroids because the pros do it?
They used a red baseball for at least one season on saturday games carried on fox. I don't remember the year off hand, but it was supposed to allow them to put like a glowing effect around the ball on the TV broadcast, like they did w/ the puck in hockey.EVERYONE Stop talking about steroids!!!!!!?
1973 in two preseason games. This was an idea of Charlie Finley , former owner of the Kansas City and Oakland A'sWhat do u think the world series will be this year?
Back in the early 70s, Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley introduced an orange baseball into play thinking it would be easier to see in the daytime. The idea never took off.Charlie was famous for dreaming up outlandish ideas, and the other owners were equally famous for shooting them down. He did, however, encourage all his players to grow beards/mustaches -- a radical change for that time. (Remember Rollie Fingers' handlebar mustache?) He also bestowed bizarre nicknames and mythos upon his star players like Catfish Hunter and Blue Moon Odom.
