Oakland Athletics 2009 Playoffs
The Athletics have quietly won 15 American League pennants and nine World Series. While the Cardinals and the Yankees have received many accolades for their extensive playoff history, the A’s is too-often forgotten. The team has provided tickets to the World Series throughout the generations, winning their first World Series title in 1910 after dismantling the Chicago Cubs 4 games to 1. The Athletics would follow with two more series titles in the next three years, winning in 1911 and in 1913 against the New York Giants.
The A’s even won three in a row in the ‘70s, taking the title in every year from 1972 to 1974. Known as the Athletics third dynasty, the team comprised of Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter brought the first championship play to McAfee Coliseum. Sal Brando, Bert Campaneris, Rollie Fingers, and Vida Blue pitched in to make playoff tickets a familiar sight in the city by the bay.
Oakland Athletics Background
The 2008 Oakland A’s know that their strength is their pitching. Justin Duchscherer is the new ace of the rotation and he leads a new young nucleus of pitchers that includes Greg Smith and Dana Eveland. The bats have been rather quiet all year, but they will need to wake up to make playoff tickets worth it this postseason. Jack Cust carries the power load, but few batters other than Kurt Suzuki seem to get on for him to drive them in. If the rest of the lineup can come alive then this team can be truly dangerous.
