Oakland Athletics Information:
The Oakland Athletics are a Major League Baseball team that competes in the American League West Division. The Athletics, also known as the A's, have been playing in Oakland since 1968. Before they settled down in Oakland, the franchise was based in both Philadelphia and Kansas City.
The Athletics play their home games at McAfee Coliseum, and have been doing so since making the move to Oakland nearly 40 years ago. Although this stadium is a bit long in the tooth, it still has a lot to offer both teams and fans. But even though this stadium has a long history, it appears that the Athletics will be moving out of it by 2010 at the latest.
Most people are not ware of the fact that the Athletics have won nine World Series Titles. These came in the years of: 1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, 1930, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989. As you can see, the Athletics were known as one of the most dominant teams of the early 1970's.
Many great players have donned the Athletics jersey over the years. Some of the greatest players in franchise history include Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Dennis Eckersley, and many more.
All in all, the Oakland Athletics stand for success and integrity. This explains why the people of Oakland and the fans love this team so much!
