A’s vs. Royals, Part II
Keyword(s):
This chapter discusses the baseball rivalry that developed between the Oakland A’s and the Kansas City Royals. The A’s won two more world championships but still fought with owner Charles Finley, who drew condemnation for his actions during the 1973 World Series. The Royals had developed a talented core through trades and their farm system but could not beat the A’s when it counted the most, and the team experienced turmoil of its own. Kansas City’s and Oakland’s decisions to build new sports facilities outside their central business districts contributed to the decline of the two cities’ downtowns, which the cities tried to counter through an array of urban renewal projects that in turn provoked controversy.
