the apostrophe is not a possessive aspostrophe, but
instead a contractual apostrophe, like the one in
"winnin'". charlie o finley, mule & all, began
referring to the kansas city athletics as his "A's"
way back in the pre-campanerian days.

A's = Athletics, it's a big contraction.


- nate

p.s. - who was the last guy to play all 9 positions
in a nine inning game??? i cant recall after campy.

Please do not use the words "A's" and "contraction" in such proximity. Bud
the Dud's still commish.
