The Oakland Athletics were incepted over a century ago, in the year 1901, in the city of Philadelphia as the Philadelphia Athletics. They played in the city all the way till 1954. It was during that time, that they sowed the seeds for what was to become one of the biggest names in baseball. They won five World Series as a Philadelphia based team. The Athletics also clinched nine pennants between 1902 and 1931.

Their fortunes began to nosedive after 1931 and the team was located to Kansas to start playing as the Kansas City Athletics in 1955. The move however didn’t do them any good so the Athletics relocated to Oakland in 1968 and changed the name to the Oakland Athletics.

The re-location put them back on track. The Oakland Athletics clinched their first division title in 1971. They went a step further next year and managed to complete the division, pennant and the World Series treble. They repeated the feat for the next two years as well to complete what was a simply an astonishing hat trick. The Oakland Athletics were now a dominant force. They continued on this pattern and they haven’t looked back since. Even when they were going through financial difficulties, they managed to hold more than their own during the 2000’s. The famous “Moneyball” was used and that played a big part in the team winning twenty straight games in the year 2002 which was a new AL record.

The Oakland Athletics have in total won an impressive sixteen division titles and fifteen American League pennants over the years. They have also won nine World Series titles, the last of which was won in 1989. Their World Series haul puts them third on the list of teams with most wins after the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. The two division championships in the last two seasons have given them a solid base to go from. There is a lot of optimism surrounding the Athletics right now as everyone associated with them looks forward to building something special.
