Few teams have thrived in the face of turmoil better than the Athletics of the 1970s, which featured numerous flashy stars and perhaps the most eccentric owner of all time in Charles O. Finley. The team's central figure was temperamental outfielder Reggie Jackson, and in 1973, the future "Mr. October" won the first of his two World Series MVP Awards when he tied for the team lead in hits and home runs while leading the club in RBIs in its Fall Classic win over the Mets.
