He was an Oakland Athletic, before he was traded to the Yanks.

He was a Met before he was a Devil Ray and an Athletic, from which he went to Toronto and Cinncinato before he got traded from the Phillies to the Yankees.
Get your obscure MLB journeymen right!

Seriously, isn't the "Athletics" the most unoriginal name for a team ever?
Anyway, I'm glad no one in that building died. When I saw the footage on TV, I really thought people would have had to. Glad I was wrong.... Oh, and man, that is the best picture of him ever. |

Blame Philidelphia
"A's" sounds better. Its also better than the "Oakland Mackmen".
| wiki wrote: | The Athletics name--originating in the term "Athletic Club" for local gentlemen's clubs--dates back to 1860 when an amateur team, the Athletic (Club) of Philadelphia, was formed. (A famous image from that era, at left, published in Harper's Weekly in 1866, shows the Athletic players dressed in uniforms displaying the familiar blackletter "A" on the front.) The team later turned professional Association through 1875, becoming a charter member of the National League in 1876, but were expelled from the N.L. after one season. A later version of the Athletics played in the American Association from 1882–1891.
The team name is typically pronounced "Ath-LET-ics", but their long-time team owner/manager Connie Mack called them by the old-fashioned colloquial pronunciation "Ath-uh-LET-ics". Newspaper writers also often referred to the team as the Mackmen during their Philadelphia days, in honor of their patriarch.
