Last week, I mentioned in passing the A’s truly horrible 1979 squad. Almost on cue, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a story on the awful Bay Area sports scene circa 1979 with a good deal of attention paid to the Swingin’ (and Missin’) A’s.
At the very least, you owe it to yourself to gaze upon this file photo of the 653 brave souls who bothered to show up for the April 17, 1979 game against the Seattle Mariners.
