The Kansas City A's & The Wrong Half of the Yankees
- Used Book in Good Condition
During the second half of the 1950s, folks derisively referred to the Kansas City Aâ€™s as a â€œfarm teamâ€ of the New York Yankees. Trades between the twoâ€”often lopsidedâ€”were commonplace, and it seemed every time the Yankees needed that one final piece for yet another pennant run, the Aâ€™s filled the gap.

While most knew that Aâ€™s owner Arnold Johnson was somewhat affiliated with Yankee owners Dan Topping and Del Webb through his joint ownership of Yankee Stadium, The Kansas City Aâ€™s and the Wrong Half of the Yankees digs into the deeper business entanglements among the three. In addition to the questionable trades and his earlier purchase of â€œThe House that Ruth Built,â€ Johnsonâ€™s purchase of the thenâ€“Philadelphia Aâ€™s shows signs of Yankees clout.

Through periodicals,Â letters, conversations with contemporary players and executives, and an analysis of player records, author Jeff Katz has compiled a chronological account of how, through the hands of a friend and business partner, the Yankees controlled two of the eight American League teams during the second half of the 1950s.
