Mark that is an awesome jersey!! Funny, I was visiting my parents this weekend and talking with one of their close friends about the A's. He was a pitcher from Chicago and in the KC Athletics farm system for six years in the late 50's and early sixties. Made it to triple A but not the big leagues. His name was Chuck Kowalski and played and competed with many players who would eventually make the big leagues, including Frank Howard. Thanks for sharing.

That's a good story, Adam...
It's always amazing to me how many great players fail to ever make it to the majors. I suppose it takes a combination of exceptional talent, good timing, good attitude, good luck, and good health.
