The current West Division team began its livelihood under the moniker Philadelphia Athletics, named after a local men’s athletic club. After more than 50 years on the east coast the Athletics moved westward, making a 12-year stopover in the Midwest city of Kansas City, Missouri. Then in 1968, the franchise landed in its final destination of sunny California to become the Oakland Athletics. Despite where they were based or what their team title was, this baseball lineup has seen plenty of play. The A’s hold copious division titles and pennants as well several World Series championship triumphs. Past team rosters are padded with Baseball Hall of Famers including Rickey Henderson, Don Sutton and Rollie Fingers.
As is customary in the MLB arena, rivalries run amuck. The A’s primary opponents are the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim due to the established acrimony between the northern and southern halves of the state. Unlike most states and cities that have dueling teams, it’s perfectly acceptable to be a fan of the A’s and their oppositional San Francisco Giants brethren. Other notable contentions are with the Minnesota Twins and the Philadelphia Phillies, for the obvious reasons.
Regardless if they are home or away, the Oakland Athletics draw crowds of fans that love the team’s level of play! Reviews declare that an A’s game is a great baseball experience for the whole family! Make sure that you are close to the action at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum to cheer your favorite players on when you purchase your Oakland Athletics baseball tickets today!
