Reviews:
“A 55 mintue documentary that offers a compelling
historical account of the A’s once the far more popular and more
successful baseball team representing Philadelphia. It marvelously
conveys an old time era when baseball was played on warm summer
afternoons and really was the National Pastime”....The Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Producer Jim Rosin has put together the ultimate
story of Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics from their very beginning
to their demise after the 1954 season. A’s fans in Kansas City and
Oakland along with the still present throng of Philadelphia A’s
fans to treat themselves to an hour of prime time viewing....Jack
