What city are you people living in? More baseball can be nothing but good, why does it have to be an undermining thing? (Geez, you sure you're not from here? Tsk, such negativity.) My grandfather in his twilight years used to fondly recall, to prove he was still spry, the starting lineups in order of the 1920's Athletics he grew up with, so I'm all for bringing them home.

Up until the inglorious last couple of years in the 50s (coupled with the arrival of the Whiz Kids), the Athletics OWNED baseball in this city. And, not for nothing, some folks still hold on to the dream: http://www.philadelphiaathletics.org/museum.html Ask any old-head in your family and they will tell you that the wrong team left town.

The displaced Yankee fans and Red Sox Nation would do a great deal of heavy lifting. Agreed, Matt B. Something has to be done to fix what ails the AL West and this could be part of the solution.

As a transplant from another NL town, I can only reservedly support the Phils.If the divisions would be realigned to move the team into the AL East, then countless games against the Yanks and Sox would provide lots of media exposure and demand for tickets, too.

I love my Phillies, but I wouldn't want to see the A's fall further into obscurity. I’m blushing. Seriously, this is a movement for anyone who loves baseball and Philadelphia.
