This month I will teach the following class for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at The University of Kansas: History of the Kansas City Athletics 1955 - 1967.
The franchise was a product of the post-World War II geographical shift that changed the face of Major League Baseball. Formerly the Philadelphia Athletics, the franchise's new owner moved it to Kansas City in 1955. This course will explore the details surrounding the move, the impact of it on Kansas City, the team's 1950s controversial relationship with the New York Yankees, the era of the 1961 new owner Charlie Finley, and the team's acrimonious departure from the city.
The dates for the course are April 13th, April 20th, and May 4th. The length of the course each day is 2 hours, 2:00 PM - 4 :00 PM.
Although I will teach the course in-person, you can enroll to attend on-line via Zoom.
