The Hall of Fame thread, and the free agent thread make me think of Finley.
Talk about a maverick, and invocator. There are some great tales about how he built the "A's".

Nothing tops DIsco Demolition night! Disco SUX, I remember that. Truly believe the 70's was the last great decade for most professional sports.

Remember when Charlie O was in contract negotiations with Vida Blue and he suggested Vida change his name to ‘True’ Blue. Vida responded,” if he thinks it’s such a great idea, why doesn’t he change his own name to ‘True’ O Finley?”

The story goes, The Yanks sent a scout to sign Blue to a contract. The scout call the home office, and said, I'm in Blue's town. Office, way aren't you talking to him.
Scout, Right now Charlie Finleys in his kitchen talking to his mother.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

INVOCATOR??????????????????????????
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
