In the years following the decline of the New York Yankees dynasty
that ended in 1964, three American League teams endeavored to stake
their claim to the Junior Circuit's crown. From 1965 to 1975, the
Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, and Oakland Athletics emerged
as the most significant AL clubs, but this trio achieved varying
degrees of success. Through the prism of these three teams, this
book will examine facets of the dynastic aspirations of each during
this time: the way in which key personnel were assembled into a
cohesive roster, the glory that was won by the clubs, and the
factors leading to their decline. Drawing on a rich variety of
primary and secondary sources, the story is told of vital players
from Latin America who made their way to Minnesota, the select few
who ventured from the Orioles' training facility in Thomasville,
Georgia, to Baltimore, and the collegiate stars selected in the
early years of the newly-created amateur draft who went on to help
forge a dynasty in Oakland.
