This is the story of a losing baseball team that became a 1970s dynasty, thanks to the unorthodox strategies and stunts of two very colorful men. When Charlie Finley bought the A's in 1960, he was an outsider to the game-a insurance businessman with a larger-than-life personality. He brought his cousin Carl on as his right-hand man, moved the team from Kansas City to Oakland, and pioneered a new way to put together a winning team. With legendary players like Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, and Vida Blue, the Finleys' Oakland A's won three straight World Series and riveted the nation. Now Carl Finley's daughter Nancy reveals the whole story behind her family's winning legacy-how her father and uncle developed their scouting strategy, why they employed odd gimmicks like orange baseballs and "mustache bonuses," and how the success of the '70s Oakland A's changed the game of baseball. Nancy Finley, the Oakland A's "dugout daughter," was two years old when her father, Carl, joined his cousin Charlie Finley to run the Athletics' front office, and she grew up with the team. She and her family currently reside in Austin, Texas. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

The Lowe Hotel is located just across the street from the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Originally named the Spencer Hotel in honor of J.S. Spencer, a local judge and steamboat-company operator, the hotel opened in 1901 to cater to those traveling along the Ohio River. Sleeping arrangements for guests occupied the top floors, while the lower floors housed businesses such as a barber shop, bank, and billiards room.When the Lowe family purchased the hotel in 1929 after the stock market crash, they renamed it the Lowe Hotel. Ruth, Rush, and Marcia Finley, the current owners and managers of the Lowe, purchased it in 1990. The Finleys have been continually upgrading and adding their personal touch to the building. A visit to the Lowe is a step back in time with today's conveniences. The friendly atmosphere and hospitality create a very pleasant and restful experience for any traveler.Because of the hotel's longevity, it's no surprise that it is supposedly haunted. There are several ghosts who call the Lowe Hotel their home. Among them is a young woman in a dress that many have spotted dancing on the first two floors. On the second floor, guests have reported seeing the apparition of a young girl riding a tricycle and have even heard the creepy squeaks of her tricycle in the empty hallways. On the third floor, guests have reported hearing a soft whistling sound, as well as doors opening and closing on their own. Also on the third floor is the ghost of "Captain Jim", who many have reported seeing looking out of the window of room 316 toward the Ohio River. The creepiest part? He has no legs.I have personally stayed at the Lowe Hotel several times, but one visit stands out above the rest. Around 2:00 a.m. during that stay, I woke up to hear footsteps going up and down the hallway on the third floor. The noise lasted for around half an hour. The next morning, when the lady at the front desk asked how I slept, I mentioned the people walking around in the middle of the night. She asked if I was sure I wasn't dreaming and informed me that I had been the only guest that night.Have you had an experience at the Lowe Hotel? We would love to feature it!

In todays episode I'm chatting to Zoe about the births of her two sons Gordy and Finley. Gordy was born in hospital, where Zoe who is a nurse herself was confidant and comfortable to advocate for herself and the birth she wanted, but as time passed her perception of her birth changed and she started considering a home birth for the next time around. Zoe's had a miscarriage between her two sons and her experience of miscarrying naturally at home solidified her wishes to home birth her next baby. Finleys birth was quick and Zoe was beautifully supported, at home, by her birth team made up of friends and family.   Resources: Juju Sundin - Birth Skills Dr Sarah Buckley - Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering Dr Sara Wickham - Anti D in Midwifery: Panacea or Paradox
