Bring Your A’s Game
26 Jul
Remember how I posted that thing about bringing the Athletics back to Philadelphia this morning? Well, it’s kind of becoming a thing. I just registered a domain for Bring Your A’s Game, a site dedicated to bringing the Athletics back to the City of Brotherly Love.
Where does this rank among my quixotic pursuits? Somewhere between my childhood wish to become President at 35 (still have two years to get that together!) and swimming in the ’96 Olympics, which is to say, it’s pretty far out there. Does this sound completely insane, yet strangely appealing to you? Be in touch!
As an aside, do you think I should start a Kickstarter account to raise the $295M to buy the team outright?
It's funny that this comes up now, because I've spent the last few days brainstorming over alternate history uni mashups for the Phillies that I had planned to submit for a contest to UniWatch. The next ones on the list were a Phils/A's WWII merger concept (a la the Phil-Pitt Steagles). I had been researching old A's uniforms and stuff for inspiration, and now here I find out I'm not the only one interested in dredging up ancient baseball history.
This looks like great fun. I'll help out however I can. Let me know what you need.
Um, are you my alter ego? Nice to meet you, TJ! Sounds like an awesome contest! I love Uni Watch, too.
I think for the time being I mostly need folks to help get the word out. I'm laying the groundwork for the official website but I want to have a decent following on Facebook so I can make magic happen with local media and more. In short, tell your fellow baseball fanatics!
