On This Day in Baseball History January 6, 1964: Kansas City Athletics owner Charlie O. Finley signs a contract with the city of Louisville, Kentucky to have the Athletics play at the Louisville Field-grounds as the Kentucky Athletics for the 1964 and 1965 seasons. I have to admit that I have never, ever heard of this attempted move of the Athletics to Kentucky.

As we know, the move never happened since the Athletics played in Kansas City for through the 1967 season before moving to the greener pastures of Oakland, California for the 1968 season. But was the move to Kentucky ever really going to happen? According to Finley it was a lock. Here is how he was quoted in the article Finley Signs Contract to Transfer Athletics to Louisville from the January 7, 1964 edition of the New York Times:

“I don't expect it to be a bed of roses. But after I have had an opportunity to present all the true facts, I am sure they will be appreciative of all our problems and definite­ly give us approval.”

The move would be put to a vote by the other American League owners on January 16, 1964. Finley’s fellow owners voted resoundingly against the move to Louisville by the margin of 9-1. Not surprisingly the only vote in favor of the move to Louisville was cast by Finley himself.

And thus ended Louisville’s hopes for having a Major League team since the Louisville Colonels ended play in the National League in 1899.

On This Day in Baseball History January 3, 1973: At a press conference at Yankee Stadium, it was announced that the New York Yankees were being sold for $10-million dollars to a 12-owner group led by Yankees Chief Executive Michael Burke and George Steinbrenner III. The team was owned by CBS after purchasing the team in 1966.

Phil Pepe’s article published by the Daily News on January 4, 1973 states that “The 12 new owners will be equal partners.” Well, we know that didn’t happen.

Steinbrenner was quoted at the presser as saying: “We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned. We’re not going to pretend we’re something we aren’t. I’ll stick to building ships.” If he had stuck to that the Yankees might never have returned to glory.

In typical Steinbrenner fashion that New Yorkers grew to know, hate and later love when the team started winning, things between Burke and Steinbrenner got tense. Soon thereafter Burke was out, leaving Steinbrenner as the majority owner. The rest is history.

After all was said and done, the selling price for the Yankees was actually $8.8-million dollars. That seems like an awfully low price, especially since according to Forbes in 2015, the Yankees were worth $3.2-billion dollars. What makes it even more remarkable, that Steinbrenner used only $100,000 of his money. Steinbrenner was quoted as saying “It’s the best buy in sports today — I think it’s a bargain.” That is an understatement.
