June 29, 2014
The Philadelphia Athletics softball team of 1978-1980 was a men’s slo-pitch squad competing in the American Professional Slo-Pitch League. The team revived both the name and the old elephant logo of Philadelphia’s former American League baseball franchise. NFL All-Pro kick returner Billy “White Shoes” Johnson of the Houston Oilers played for the Athletics during the 1978 season.
