	Oakland Athletics - BaseballWiki - A Wikia wiki
		The name "Athletic" for Philadelphia's baseball team dates back to 1860 when an amateur team, the Athletic of Philadelphia, was formed.
		The Athletic played in the National Association through 1875, becoming a charter member of the National League in 1876, but were expelled from the N.L. after one season.
		Arguably, the Athletics' biggest American League rivals in recent years have been the teams that were their old traditional rivals from decades ago in Philadelphia---the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox---if only because of the hard-fought playoff games between the teams.

		A second baseman for the Athletics' early champions, Murphy yielded the position to Eddie Collins in 1909.
		An expert sign stealer, he was a favorite of Connie Mack and his hometown Philadelphia fans, but he deserted them as his career was ending to join the Federal League.
		Both teams score once in the 11th; an umpire's ruling costs Philadelphia the game in the 14th: Harry Davis hits a long fly into the crowd in left CF, ordinarily a ground-rule double.

	Athletics in the Hall of Fame: Elmer Flick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		After filling in for an injured Sam Thompson, Flick became a mainstay for 13 big league seasons for the Philadelphis Phillies, briefly for the Philadelphia Athletics, and finally with the Cleveland Naps, later known as the Indians.
		This move was not popular with Philadelphia Phillies fans who had lost future Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie to the Athletics the year before.
		The injunction was sought before Flicks' move to the Athletics, and pertained specifically to Nap Lajoie, Chick Fraser and Bill Bernhard who had become "jumpers" in 1901, but it also covered Elmer Flick, Monte Cross, and Bill Duggleby of the Athletics, as well as others.
