Background - Oakland Athletics
The A's won five World Series and nine American League pennants in Philadelphia and four World Series and six pennants since moving to Oakland. The best run the team has had was from 1972 to 1974, when they won three straight World Series titles. The year before the club won its first World Series the ball club won the AL West and went to its first post season since 1931. That season would mark the beginning of the third dynasty for the franchise.
The Athletics dynasty featured star players Reggie Jackson, Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Bert Campaneris and pitchers Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, and Vida Blue. The club is said have gelled due its universal dislike for owner Charles Finley. Finley changed the home uniforms from the common white to a flamboyant solid green and gold jerseys and white pants. He also offered financial incentive for players to grow mustaches.
The changes in external appearances led to a World Series dubbed "The Hairs versus the Big Squares" in 1972. The Hairs (the Athletics) beat the Big Squares (the Reds) in the series in game seven to take the series. The club would go on to beat the Mets in 1973 and the Dodgers in 1974. Despite the success increasing tension between Finley and the players escalated to Catfish Hunter's grievance that the club had failed to make insurance payments on time. When an arbitrator ruled in Hunter's favor, he became a free agent and the dismantling of the team began.
The Athletics returned to domination with the Bash Brothers in the late ‘80s. Mark McGwire, Jose Conseco, and Ricky Henderson were the face of the club that won four AL West titles in five years from 1988-1992 and won the World Series in 1989.

2008 Season Preview
|
 The Oakland Athletics won 76 games last year. The 2007 season was a departure from the previous five, when the club went the post season every year. So, in 2008, the rebuilding has begun.
Joe Blanton and Chad Gaudin are the only two familiar returning starters, leaving the A's with a weak pitching staff for the first time in years. Rich Hared, Justin Duscherer, and Lenny DiNardo will round out the rotation, but that may change by the end of the season. The bullpen will be a closer by committee with games split between Huston Street and Alana Embree.
The bats will need to perform to make up for rookie growth, but the offense is a question mark. Shortstop Bobby Crosby, right fielder Chris Denorfia, and designated Jack Cust are all returning from injury and may not return to prior years' form. Eric Chavez' numbers have continued to decline and his time as a prime time third baseman may be done.
McAfee Coliseum will see the new faces of the Athletics develop this year. A schedule full of division games will help, as the AL West is expected to have a down year after several tough years. See the youngster live with tickets from Online Seats.
