Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 03, 2023

Lucy, your team needs to practice, practice, practice!

Haven’t the Oakland A’s been through enough, Charlie Brown?

It would probably be a lot funnier if I had any idea who Charlie Finley was before Googling him.

Who knows. She might fit in with Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, and Rollie Fingers.

What year was this? Charlie Finley was seven kinds of insane, but WHICH kind of insane depended upon the year.

Tightwad owner of the A’s in the 60s and 70s.

Charlie O was an American businessman who owned Major League Baseball’s Oakland Athletics. Finley purchased the franchise while it was located in Kansas City, moving it to Oakland in 1968. Where does Charlie B live?

from Charlie Brown to Charlie O…looks like a lose-lose trade…

Maybe they could trade her to the Cubs.

Trading her, or dumping her on some other team, isn’t the answer. Charlie might try something innovative like actually coaching.

Charles O. Finley—-wow. there’s a name from the seventies I’d hadn’t thought of in years

Charlie did many things to promote the team. I’m surprised he didn’t sign a woman to play, maybe pitch.

In a time of drab unis, he gave the A’s bight green and yellow, and had his players grow mustaches. Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers – great players, great teams.

Actually, the current A’s ownership might consider taking Lucy if it’ll alienate their fanbase any quicker.

Long overdue, CB

You’d never get away with trading Lucy. She’d be sent back.

I remember Findley had a herd of sheep with a shepherd dressed in biblical garb in the grassy area outside of the baseball field. And, then there was the mechanical rabbit that popped up through a trapdoor to give the pitcher a new baseball.

I’m sure whoever that is would probably still not want her.

Nice reference; timely at the time of the ’toon — LOLOL

Just what the team needs, a comedian in center field.

Finley wasn’t that crazy at least I think he wasn’t.

She wouldn’t be much for the Charlie Finley era, but she’d fit right in with today’s Oakland A’s.

Nobody wants her Charlie Brown, so you’re stuck with her.

President of what, Lucy? Of ludicrous fussbuckets?

You could trade her to a stone which will be more useful on the pitch to slow down the opponent.

I thought I would be the only one to pick up the La Porte IN connection.

She and Finley would deserve each other.

Cut it out,Chuck.You’re scaring Finley out of h is grave
