They were a dynasty unlike any other. The Oakland A's in 1974 were looking for a 3-peat and the only two things in their way were themselves... and their owner, Charlie Finley. They fought, they battled, and they scrapped amongst themselves mostly before they beat the Dodgers in 5 games to win their 3rd straight World Series and nobody chronicled that team better than author Jason Turbow who wrote the book "Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic: Reggie, Rollie, Catfish, and Charlie Finley's Swingin' A's. Catfish Hunter is on the cover of the October 7th, 1974 issue of Sports Illustrated after winning 25 games in the regular season for the A's, but that was about the only thing that was regular about that season in Oakland. After winning it all in 1972 & '73 Manager Dick Williams left the team and was replaced by Alvin Dark. And while chaos was always a part of this team, it exploded in '74. Fights were everywhere. Outfielders Reggie Jackson and Billy North got into it. And on the eve of the Fall Classic, so did Rollie Fingers and John 'Blue Moon Odom'. The team didn't like each other, and they couldn't stand their owner. But they loved winning and that's what they did best. Turbow goes behind the curtain and tells some of the stories from that crazy time by the Bay. How Jim Hunter came to be known as Catfish, while Vida Blue refused to be called anything other than his God-given name. How Reggie and Joe Rudi were friends to the end and how the enigmatic Finley was his own worst enemy, but still belongs in Cooperstown alongside some of the players he helped get there. The author of many books, including singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins' memoir "Still Alright", Turbow talks with the guys in the green and gold who fought and bickered with each other but stopped long enough to win 3 straight World Series 50 years ago. It's a great talk about a great team on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Author Jason Turbow gives Nestor an Oakland Athletics history lesson and discusses everything that went wrong over 50 years dating back to Charlie Finley and a book he wrote on the 1970s World Series champions draped in thrift and constant acrimony. The post Author Jason Turbow gives Nestor an Oakland Athletics history lesson first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

In this episode, I talk with Jason Turbow, author of “The Baseball Codes, the Unwritten Rules of America's Pastime,” about his updated views on the code since writing the book and viewing the changes in baseball. 

Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder James Outman keeps a pet rock (complete with a drawn-on smiley face) in his locker both at home and on the road to help him hit. He's one of many players over the course of baseball history, to adhere to some form of superstition. From the Orioles' Mike Cuellar in the 1970s to the Yankees' Jason Giambi in the early 2000s, baseball and superstition go hand-in-hand. This week, Jason Turbow, the author of several books on baseball, including The Baseball Codes, explains why superstitions fit baseball's long schedule, Former big league pitcher Mike Bacsik tells us the one restaurant he wouldn't go to on the days he pitched, and we hear from Outman himself about the origin of the rock.

Jason Turbow is the bestselling author of four books. His most recent, Still Alright, released in June, is a collaborative autobiography of Kenny Loggins.  His other three are They Bled Blue about the LA Dodgers; Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic about the Oakland A's; and The Baseball Codes  He has written for publications including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated and Wired.

Hosts Jim Litke and Tim Dahlberg suss out potential winners and losers with the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup on the line and the U.S. Women’s National Team opening defense of their World Cup title. Then they’re joined by author Jason Turbow, whose new book “They Bled Blue,” tells the tale of a talented LA Dodger team that didn’t get over the World Series hump until chubby, 19-year-old Fernando Valenzuela appeared on the scene. On the menu: When life hands you a broken fridge, try making a frittata.

Brandon Steiner chats with author and freelance sportswriter Jason Turbow, set to release his third book "They Bled Blue" about the 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers. About Jason: Jason Turbow is the author of They Bled Blue (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, June 2019); Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017); and The Baseball Codes (Pantheon, 2010). He's written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Sports Illustrated, among other publications. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. About They Bled Blue: In the Halberstam tradition of capturing a season through its unforgettable figures, They Bled Blue is a sprawling, mad tale of excess and exuberance, the likes of which could only have occurred in that place, at that time. That it culminated in an unlikely World Series win—during a campaign split by the longest player strike in baseball history—is not even the most interesting thing about this team. The Dodgers were led by the garrulous Tommy Lasorda—part manager, part cheerleader—who unyieldingly proclaimed devotion to the franchise through monologues about bleeding Dodger blue and worshiping the “Big Dodger in the Sky,” and whose office hosted a regular stream of Hollywood celebrities. Steve Garvey, the All-American, All-Star first baseman, had anchored the most durable infield in major league history, and, along with Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and Ron Cey, was glaringly aware that 1981 would represent the end of their run together. The season’s real story, however, was one that nobody expected at the outset: a chubby lefthander nearly straight out of Mexico, twenty years old with a wild delivery and a screwball as his flippin’ out pitch. The Dodgers had been trying for decades to find a Hispanic star to activate the local Mexican population; Fernando Valenzuela was the first to succeed, and it didn’t take long for Fernandomania to sweep far beyond the boundaries of Chavez Ravine. They Bled Blue is the rollicking yarn of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ crazy 1981 season. Purchase a copy today: https://www.amazon.com/They-Bled-Blue-Fernandomania-Strike-Season/dp/1328715531

During the first half of the 1970s, the Oakland A’s were the most colorful team in baseball – with bright double-knit uniforms, long hair and outlandish personalities.

Author Jason Turbow gives us some great background on a forgotten dynasty with his new book: “Dynasitc, Bombastic, Fantastic: Reggie, Rollie, Catfish, and Charlie Finley’s Swinging A’s”.
