The Oakland Athletics entered major league baseball in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics, an expansion franchise in the new American League, which had been founded the previous year. A dominant team in the League’s early years, appearing in the World Series five times between 1905 and 1914, the Athletics slipped out of contention for a number of seasons before returning to dominance with three consecutive World Series appearances and two World Series titles from 1929 to 1931. Following the 1931 season the A’s did not return to the postseason for 40 years. In 1955 the team was moved to Kansas City. In 1968 the franchise, having never had a winning season in its 13 years in KC and never finishing higher than 6th, moved to Oakland. Since arriving on the west coast the Oakland Athletics have appeared in the postseason 9 times, won 3 pennants and one World Series. The period of greatest success was in the five seasons from 1988 through 1992 when the A’s went to the ALCS 4 times and appeared in 3 consecutive World Series. In 1988 the Athletics swept the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS and lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the world championship. The follow year they defeated the Toronto Blue Jays to take the American League Pennant and swept the Dodgers in four straight to be crowned the 1989 World Series Champions. The A’s returned to the postseason the following year (sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS only to be swept in turn by the Cincinnati Reds) and again in 1992, losing in 6 to the eventual world champion Toronto Blue Jays. The Oakland Athletics have made 5 postseason appearances since 2000, most recently in 2006. When they won they advanced past the ALDS for the first time since the 1988-90 World Series run. In 2007 and 2008 the A’s finished the regular season in 3rd place in the West and out of the playoffs. The Oakland Athletics are in the 4-team West Division of the 14-team American League of 30-team Major League Baseball. Awesomeseating.com offers cheap tickets and luxury tickets for all MLB teams.
