A look back at old Royals programs
Share this story
I’ve been a baseball fan for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve kept just about every program of every game I’ve ever attended. For a long time, I wondered why, but now, writing for Royals Review and with the advent of Baseballrefernce.com, it’s been a fun walk down memory lane to revisit some of those old games.
The first program in my collection is from the 1966 Kansas City Athletics. It wasn’t even a game I attended. Some of my dad’s friends went to the game and brought back the Athletics 1966 yearbook for me. The front cover is long gone but featured prominently on page two is Charlie O. Finley and his family. No matter what the occasion, Charlie wanted everyone to know that he was the man.
