Oakland A's
History
"The Athletics made their mark on the baseball landscape in 1901. Originally the Philadelphia Athletics, the team won three World Series in the early 1900s, in 1910, 1911 and 1913. In 1925, then manager Connie Mack signed Jimmie Foxx who would be referred to as the right-handed Babe Ruth for much of his career. In 1929, the A’s had what many baseball historians consider the greatest team of all time. The A’s won the World Series in both ’29 and ’30. In 1941, the city of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania declare a legal holiday in honor of Connie Mack. In 1955, the A’s moved to Kansas City. In 1968, the team moves to Oakland and is treated to Catfish Hunter pitching the first perfect game in the American League in 46 years. In 1982, Rickey Henderson steals 51 bases in 51 games for the A’s becoming the fastest player to reach that mark. In 1989, led by the bash brothers Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco, the A’s won the World Series. The Fall Classic is more remembered for the earthquake that rocked the Bay area during game 3 then anything else."
Oakland A's
Information
"The A’s play in the American League West Division. Division rivals include the Anaheim Angels, Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners. Major rivalries include A’s vs. Yankees, A’s vs. Mariners, A’s vs. Giants and A’s vs. Red Sox."
Network Associates Coliseum
"The A’s play their home games in Network Associates Coliseum located in downtown Oakland. The $200 million stadium opened in 1966 and seats approximately 46,000 fans. It also serves as the home to the NFL’s Raiders. The A's played their first few home games of the 1996 season in Las Vegas while work crews installed new seats in the Coliseum. The project has removed the outfield bleachers but added two 40,000-square-foot clubs, 22,000 seats, 125 luxury suites, a 9000-square-foot kitchen, two new color video boards and two matrix scoreboards. In the stadium, expansive foul territory reduces batting average by roughly five to seven points, making this the best pitcher’s park in the AL. The first baseball appearance of ""The Wave"" occurred here, sparked by the drum-toting, dugout-hopping ""Crazy George,"" on October 15, 1981."
