DAVID KAVAL
President
On Nov. 17, 2016, David Kaval was named the seventh president in the
history of the Oakland Athletics.
As one of the most dynamic leaders currently in sports, Kaval has led
a complete transformation of the organization. He has repositioned the
internal and external perception of the Club and has driven a number of
innovative initiates to propel the business forward.
Kaval is leading the Club’s efforts to open a new ballpark in Oak-
land. On Nov. 28, 2018, the organization announced its desire to build its privately financed,
34,000-capacity waterfront ballpark at the Howard Terminal site at the Port of Oakland. The ball-
park design is led by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Copenhagen, New York, and London based groups
of architects and designers. BIG’s architecture emerges out of a careful analysis of how contem-
porary life constantly evolves and changes and creates architecture by mixing conventional in-
gredients such as living, leisure, working, parking, and shopping. The ballpark is designed to be
the most intimate in Major League Baseball, and it will feature an elevated park that wraps and
frames the bowl, and it will anchor a new, vibrant waterfront district in Jack London Square that
features a mix of housing, including affordable housing, offices, restaurants, retail, parks, and
public gathering spaces.
The A’s and the Port of Oakland Board of Commissioners entered into an Exclusive Negotiation
Agreement in April 2019. On May 13, 2019, the board commissioners voted 7-0 to approve and
authorize the Executive Director to execute the initial term sheet.
Kaval has worked collaboratively with State officials to develop and pass legislation related
to the waterfront ballpark project. Since 2018, Kaval has worked closely with legislators to craft
and support AB 734 (2018), which provides expedited judicial review in exchange for the high-
est environmental standards of any ballpark project; AB 1191 (2019), to simplify the regulatory
approval process for the ballpark, as well as housing, retail, and mixed-use development at the
waterfront site; and SB 293 (2019), which helps the City of Oakland finance infrastructure and
transportation projects for a new ballpark.
Kaval has made it a priority to engage the community to ensure the ballpark project is big-
ger than baseball. The A’s have hosted hundreds of community meetings and workshops since
2018, giving residents a voice to share their perspectives and insights on how the ballpark can
benefit and provide opportunities in Oakland. In addition to community engagement meetings,
Kaval has implemented a number of initiatives to connect with fans and community stakehold-
ers, including hosting weekly office hours, participating in town hall meetings, posting blog and
Facebook Live updates, and communicating via Twitter and Instagram at @DaveKaval.
He is also leading the A’s plans to redevelop the current Coliseum site. Preliminary plans in-
clude a large park surrounded by substantial new housing, including affordable housing, a skills
center, community gathering spaces, office and retail space, and restaurants. On Dec. 23 2019,
the Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to sell the County’s 50 percent interest of the
Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Complex for $85 million to the A’s.
In his three seasons as president, Kaval has enhanced the

more than 35,000 students in education initiatives, and provided 15,000 youth baseball and
softball players opportunities to play the game.
Kaval previously served as the president of the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer.
He oversaw the business and soccer sides of the franchise and represented the club on the Major
League Soccer Board of Governors. He continues to serve as a Board Member of the San Jose
Earthquakes.
During his time with the Quakes, the team won the 2012 Supporters’ Shield, which is awarded
to the MLS team with the best regular season record. His success with the team culminated
in the opening of Avaya Stadium – the Quakes’ $100M privately financed soccer stadium – on
March 22, 2015. Kaval developed the innovative $20M naming rights partnership with Avaya,
which helped create the first cloud-enabled stadium. Since opening its gates, Avaya Stadium
has held numerous events including the 2016 MLS All-Star Game and World Cup Qualifiers. The
18,000-seat venue also houses the largest outdoor bar in North America.
Prior to joining the Earthquakes, Kaval founded the independent Golden Baseball League
(GBL) in 2003. Memorable GBL alumni include Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, Jose Canseco,
Daniel Nava, Jose Lima, and Mark Prior. Kaval has also spent time in the Office of the President of
the United States in Washington, D.C., where he worked on the National Security budget as part
of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
He serves on a number of boards, including the Bay Area Council and Rocketship Education, in
addition to the National Governing Board of the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) and the Young
Presidents’ Organization (YPO).
In 2000, Kaval co-authored a book entitled “The Summer that Saved Baseball,” which high-
lighted a tour of all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums in the summer of 1998. He is also a
lecturer in management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) where he teaches
sports management.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Kaval earned a B.A. with honors in International Relations and an
M.B.A. from Stanford University. He is a long-time resident of Menlo Park and lives there with his
wife and two daughters.

BILLY BEANE
Executive Vice President, Baseball Operations
Billy Beane, who is considered one of the most progressive and talent-
ed executives in the game today, has molded the A’s into one of baseball’s
most respected teams since he was named head of baseball operations
following the 1997 season. He was promoted to his current position of
executive vice president of baseball operations on Oct. 5, 2015, after 18
seasons as general manager.
Under his watch, the A’s have compiled a 1890-1672 (.531) record over
the last 22 years, which is the fourth-best record in the American League and sixth best in all of
baseball during that time frame. The A’s have six American League West titles (2000; 2002-03;
2006; 2012-13) and have secured four AL Wild Card spots (2001; 2014; 2018; 2019) during that
span. His teams have posted 90 or more wins in 10 of the last 20 years. The A’s 10 postseason
appearances since the 2000 season are tied for sixth most among all Major League teams, trail-
ing only New York-AL (16), St. Louis (13), Los Angeles-NL (11) and Atlanta (11) and are tied with
Boston.
Beane received MLB’s inaugural Executive of the Year award in 2018 and has been named
Major League Executive of the Year by Baseball America two times (2002; 2013) and The Sporting
News Executive of the Year three times (1999; 2012; 2018). He also earned MLB.com’s Greatness
in Baseball Yearly (GIBBY) Award as the 2012 MLB Executive of the Year and the 2012 Legacy
Awards’ Rube Foster Award as AL Executive of the Year, presented by the Negro League Baseball
Museum. In November of 2001, Beane was named to Street & Smith’s Sport Business Journal’s
“40 Under 40” list, honoring the nation’s top 40 sports executives under the age of 40.
Additionally, Beane earned the prestigious Inspirational Leader Award from Leaders in Sport
at the 2017 Sport Business Summit in London and was named to the Forbes list of 100 Greatest
Living Business Minds in 2017.

Beane has continually remolded a team that has Billy Beane 1997-Present
posted one of the majors’ best records over the last de-
cade. Over the years, his ability to acquire pivotal play-
ers through trades has proven instrumental in keying several playoff runs.
Beane’s executive talents and the organization’s baseball philosophy were the subject of Mi-
chael Lewis’ best-selling book “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game,” which opened
the eyes of many of the top sports executives and business CEOs in the nation. The book has
since been made into a full-length motion picture featuring Brad Pitt in the starring role, which
premiered in 2011.
As a result, Beane remains in great demand on the national speaking circuit, where he regu-
larly addresses top companies on his management approach of identifying and using under-
valued assets to create and sustain a competitive edge. He sits on the board of directors for the
Dutch professional football club AZ Alkmaar and recently became a minority owner of the British
football club Barnsley FC.
Further demonstrating his unique tastes and interests, Beane was invited to speak at Rupert
Murdoch’s News Corp. management retreat in Pebble Beach, Calif., in 2006, an event that fo-
cused on issues such as volunteerism, technology and politics and featured leaders and luminar-
ies from around the world. Among the VIP who attended were British Prime Minister Tony Blair,
Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres, former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore,
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Harvard President Lawrence Summer and U2 lead
singer Bono.
In 2008, Beane also collaborated with Gingrich and Sen. John Kerry in co-authoring an article
in the New York Times offering possible remedies for the U.S. health care crisis. In addition, he
was honored by PromaxBDA Sports Media Marketing Awards with the “Game Changer Award”
in 2011, an accolade given to a “cultural trendsetter who, through the development of new tech-
nologies, applications, business models, and industries, has transformed the business of Sports
Media and Sports Media Marketing.”
Beane joined the A’s front office staff in 1990 as the club’s major league advance scout. In
1993, former A’s president and general manager Sandy Alderson promoted him to the assistant
general manager’s position when Walt Jocketty left the organization to accept the assistant gen-
eral manager’s job in Colorado. Alderson handed over his general manager’s duties to Beane on
Oct. 17, 1997.
A first round draft pick (23rd overall) of the New York Mets in the 1980 June Free Agent Draft,
Beane played six major league seasons as an infielder, outfielder and catcher for the Mets, Min-
nesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and A’s. His final season in uniform was 1989 when he was a utility
player on the A’s World Championship team. Beane retired as an active player in the spring of
1990.
A native of San Diego, Calif., Beane attended Mt. Carmel High School and UC San Diego, where
he studied economics. Billy and his wife, Tara, reside in Danville, Calif., with their twins, Brayden
and Tinsley. His daughter, Casey, is a graduate of Kenyon (Ohio) College.

RICKEY HENDERSON
Special Assistant to the President
Rickey Henderson enters his third season as Special Assistant to the Presi-
dent. In this role, Henderson assists A’s President Dave Kaval in promoting
the Oakland Athletics brand, in addition to continuing his duties as a roving
on-field instructor.
During Henderson’s 25-year Hall-of-Fame playing career, he spent 14 sea-
sons with the Green and Gold. Henderson made 10 All-Star teams, won two World Series cham-
pionships, one AL MVP (1990), one Gold Glove Award (1981), three Silver Slugger awards (1981,
1985, 1990) and one ALCS MVP Award (1989). He holds the record for most career stolen bases
(1,406), runs scored (2,295), lead-off home runs (81), as well as the single-season stolen base
record (130, 1982). For his career, Henderson hit .279 with 3,055 hits, 297 home runs, 1,115 RBI,
1,406 stolen bases, and 2,295 runs scored. In 2009, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame
on the first ballot with 94.8% of the vote.
Following his playing career, Henderson joined the New York Mets as a special instructor in
2006 before being promoted to first base coach in 2007. For the past several seasons, Henderson
has served as a roving instructor in the Athletics system.

BASEBALL OPERATIONS
DAVID FORST
General Manager
David Forst begins his 21st season in the Athletics organization and his
fifth as General Manager after being appointed to the position on Oct. 5,
2015. The A’s have made 10 postseason appearances since he joined the or-
ganization in 2000, including five times in the last eight seasons.
Along with Billy Beane, Forst co-authored the acquisitions of every mem-
ber of the 2019 A’s Wild Card team. Beginning with the drafting of Matt Olson (2012) and Matt
Chapman (2014), continuing with the trades for Khris Davis (2016), Marcus Semien (2014), Ste-
phen Piscotty (2017), Ramón Laureano (2017) and Mike Fiers (2018), all the way through the
in-season trades for Tanner Roark, Homer Bailey and Jake Diekman, the 2019 playoff team was

2020 ATHLETICS
BOB MELVIN 6
MANAGER
Robert Paul Melvin
Named as A’s interim manager, June 9, 2011
Birthdate: October 28, 1961
Birthplace/Resides: Palo Alto, California / Berkeley, California
Contract Status: Signed through 2021

Bob Melvin returns for his 10th season as manager of the Oakland A’s in 2020, a tenure
that has included five postseason appearances and two American League Manager of the Year
awards. Melvin has a 731-664 (.524) record since being named interim manager, June 9, 2011
and his wins are third most in franchise history behind Connie Mack (3582) and Tony La Russa
(798). No other active manager has a longer uninterrupted tenure with their current team.
Melvin is now 1224-1172 (.511) in 16 seasons as a Major League manager, including stints with
the Seattle Mariners (2003-04) and Arizona Diamondbacks (2005-09). Among active managers,
only Dusty Baker (1,863), Terry Francona (1,667) and Joe Maddon (1,252) have more wins.
Melvin was named American League Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association
of America and the Sporting News in 2018 and Major League Manager of the Year by Baseball
America. It was third time he was named Manager of the Year by the BBWAA (2007 with Arizona
and 2012 with Oakland) and he is the eighth manager to win the award three or more times,
joining Dusty Baker, Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland, Joe Maddon, Lou Piniella and Buck
Showalter. He was already just the sixth manager to win the award in both leagues and he and
Tony La Russa (1988 and 1992) are the only managers to win the award in an Oakland uniform.
Melvin has led the A’s to 97-win seasons and a postseason appearance as an American
League Wild Card team in each of the last two years. He now has five postseason appearances
with the A’s (2012-14, 18-19), which are the most by a manager in Oakland history and trail only
Connie Mack, who had eight World Series appearances, in Athletics history.
Melvin guided the A’s to a 47-52 (.475) record in 2011 after Oakland started the season
27-36 (.429). He then led the A’s to back-to-back AL West titles in 2012 and 2013 with records of
94-68 and 96-66. Melvin became the first manager to lead the A’s to consecutive division titles
since Tony La Russa won three straight from 1988-90. He was named AL Manager of the Year by
the BBWAA in 2012 after the A’s became the fifth team in Major League history to win a Pennant
or Division after trailing by 13 or more games and the first to come back when trailing by five or
more games with fewer than 10 games remaining. That club employed 19 rookies, including 12
pitchers.
The A’s finished 88-74 in 2014 but reached the postseason for the third consecutive year as
a Wild Card. Oakland logged back-to-back 90-loss seasons in 2015 and 2016 before going 75-87
in 2017. On July 29, 2017, Melvin became the 64th manager in ML history to win 1,000 games.
Oakland then went 97-65 in 2018, which was a 22-win improvement and the third time
a Bob Melvin-managed team increased its win total by 20 or more games from the previous
season. In his first season with Arizona in 2004, the Diamondbacks posted 77-85 record after
going 51-111 in 2003. He then took the A’s from a 74-win season in 2011 to a 94-68 record and
an AL West title in 2012.
Melvin signed a three-year contract through the 2014 season, Sept. 21, 2011, a two-year
extension through 2016, Jan. 14, 2013, another two-year extension through 2018, Sept. 9, 2015,
a one-year extension through 2019, Sept. 28, 2017, and a two-year extension through 2021, Oct.
29, 2018. The Bay Area native is the 30th manager in franchise history and the 18th in Oakland
history.
In his previous managerial stint, he guided Arizona to a 337-340 (.498) record in four-plus
seasons. He was named manager of the D-backs Nov. 5, 2004 and led the club to a 77-85 mark
in his first season, a 26-game turnaround from a franchise-worst 51-111 mark in 2004. After a

at the time. The Mariners then fell to 63-99 in 2004 and he left Seattle with a 156-168 (.481)
record in two seasons.

those bench coach roles, he spent three seasons with Milwaukee in various capacities, serving as
a scout in 1996, roving instructor in 1997 and as assistant to General Manager Sal Bando in 1998.

2019 REVIEW

Liam Hendriks saved a Major League leading 25 games


after taking over as closer June 21, 2019.
SEASON IN REVIEW
2019 RECAP: The A’s finished the season with a 97-65 (.599) record
for the second consecutive year…had the fourth best record in the OAKLAND A’S
American League, tied for fifth best in the majors and tied for ninth BEST RECORDS
best in Oakland history…it was the third time in Oakland history
.642 (104-58) 1988
(1988-90 and 2001-02) and fifth time in Athletics history (1910-11
.636 (103-59) 2002
and 1928-31) the A’s won at least 97 games in at least two straight .636 (103-59) 1990
seasons…have 194 wins over the last two seasons, which is fourth .630 (102-60) 2001
most in the majors…it is tied for fifth most in Oakland history over .627 (101-60) 1971
a two-year stretch and the most since they had 199 from 2002-03… .611 (99-63) 1989
have won at least 90 games in each of the last two years, four of .605 (98-64) 1975
the last eight and 10 of the last 20…only the Yankees (14), Red Sox .600 (93-62) 1972
.599 (97-65) 2019
(12) and Cardinals (11) have more 90-win seasons over the last 20
.599 (97-65) 2018
last years…the 97 wins match the 2018 club for second most in Oak-
land by a team that did not win the division…the most was 102 in
2001 when Seattle won 116 games…finished in second place in the
AL West, 10 games behind first place Houston…it was the sixth time in the last 10 years and the
14th time in the last 21 years the A’s finished first or second in the West…over the last 21 years,
only the Yankees (18), Dodgers (15) and Cardinals (15) have more first or second place finishes in
their division…spent 95 days in second in the West, one day tied for second, 46 days in third, six
days tied for third, 13 days in fourth, seven days tied for fourth and 17 days in fifth…went 14-13
over the first 27 games through April 24, which put the A’s in a tie for third in the West, 2½ games
behind first place Houston…then were swept in a three-game series at Toronto April 26-28 to
start a nine-game road trip where they went 1-8 against Toronto, Boston (0-3) and Pittsburgh
(1-2)…lost a season-high six straight games from April 26-May 1…were 15-21 at the conclusion
of play on May 5 and were in fifth place in the West, six games behind Houston…then went 82-
44 (.651) over the final 126 games…had a season-high 11-game winning streak from May 16 to
27…extended the streak to 11 games on Sept. 6 when they completed a May 19 suspended game
that began in Detroit but was finished in Oakland…the winning streak tied for third longest in
Oakland history and was the longest since the 20-game streak in 2002…then lost five straight
games from May 28-June 2 and went 7-11 over an 18-game stretch from May 28 to June 16…
including the suspended game victory, the A’s were 37-36 through June 16…then went a Major
League best 60-29 (.674) from June 17 through the end of the season…defeated Minnesota 8-6
on July 2 to move into second place in the AL West…would remain in second the rest of the year…
had a 50-41 record at the All-Star Break and then went 5-0 on the first homestand after the break
against Chicago-AL (3-0) and Seattle (2-0)…that gave the A’s a 55-41 record and moved them to
within 4½ games of first place Houston entering play on July 18…posted a 41-24 (.631) record the
rest of the way but Houston went 47-18 (.723) and Oakland never got closer than 4½ games…
won three of four against AL West leading Houston Aug. 15-18 and then swept a three-game
series from AL East leading New York from Aug. 20-22…from Aug. 20 to Sept. 4, the A’s, Cleveland
and Tampa Bay exchanged first, second and third place in the AL Wild Card race…Oakland defeated
Los Angeles 10-6 on Sept. 5 to take over the second Wild Card spot and defeated Houston 3-2 on
Sept. 12 to take over the first spot from Tampa Bay…held at least a share of the first spot the rest
of the way and clinched a playoff appearance on Sept. 27 at Seattle in Game 160…earned the first
Wild Card spot and finished one game ahead of Tampa Bay and four games ahead of third place
Cleveland…were officially eliminated from the AL West in game 156 on Sept. 22.
A’s IN POSTSEASON: The A’s returned to the postseason for the second consecutive season, fifth
time in the last eight years and 10th time in the last 20 seasons…over the last eight years, only
the Dodgers (7) have more than five postseason appearances and over the last 20 seasons only
the Yankees (16), Cardinals (13), Dodgers (11) and Braves (11) have more than 10…it was the
28th postseason appearance in franchise history, which includes 20 with Oakland and eight
with Philadelphia…that is fourth most all-time…reached the postseason for the fourth time as
the American League Wild Card, the third time in the two wild card era…lost the AL Wild Card
game to Tampa Bay on Oct. 2 in Oakland by a score of 5-1…that extended the A’s losing streak
in winner-take-all postseason games to nine, which is the longest such streak in Major League

310 > 2020 OAKLAND ATHLETICS MEDIA GUIDE


history…the last time Oakland won a winner-take-all postseason game was Game 7 of the 1973
World Series, a 5-2 win over New York…dating back to 2000, the A’s have now lost 15 of their
last 16 postseason games with a chance to clinch the series…have won just one of their last 13
postseason series (includes one-game wild card games), the 2006 ALDS against Minnesota…won
11 of their first 15 postseason series in Oakland through the 1990 ALCS.
THE MIDDLE OF JUNE: The A’s were 37-36 (.507) at the conclu-
sion of play on June 16 but then went 60-29 (.674) from June MLB BEST RECORDS,
17 through the end of the season, which was the best record JUNE 17-END OF SEASON

DESIGNATED HITTER RULE


A hitter may be designated to bat for the pitcher in any spot in the batting order in any game without
affecting the status of the pitcher. The designated hitter must be selected and be included on the lineup
cards presented to the umpire-in-chief prior to the game. Failure to do so precludes the use of a desig-
nated hitter for that game.
The designated hitter is “locked” into the batting order but may be removed for a pinch-hitter or pinch-
runner, who in turn becomes the designated hitter. The designated hitter, while still in the game, may be
used defensively but the pitcher then assumes the batting order of the replaced defensive player, thus ter-
minating the designated hitter role. The designated hitter is eligible for all American League batting titles.

Notes: The all-time Athletics franchise record for biggest come-from-behind victory is also the Major League record, set by the
Philadelphia A’s on June 15, 1925 against Cleveland…the A’s trailed by 12 runs in that game but scored 13 runs in the bottom of the
eighth inning to win, 17-15….twice in Oakland history the A’s have erased leads of eight or more runs, only to eventually lose the game…
in the second game of a doubleheader at Toronto on Sept. 15, 1982, the A’s trailed the Blue Jays 11-2 after six innings, but came back to
tie the game at 11 before the Blue Jays scored one run in the bottom of the ninth for the 12-11 victory…on April 14, 2001, the A’s trailed
the Texas Rangers, 8-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth inning and tied the game at eight before the Rangers scored one in the top
of the ninth for the 9-8 victory.

Hatteberg in the bottom of the ninth inning…the win gave the A’s their American League-record 20th consecutive victory…three other
times in Oakland history the A’s have blown seven-run leads only to win the game…the last time was on April 24, 1997 vs. Minnesota,
when the A’s led 8-1 after four innings and fell behind 11-8 before tying the game in the bottom of the ninth…the A’s eventually won in 11

the bottom of the sixth inning…the Browns scored once in the bottom of the sixth, three times in the seventh, seven times in the eighth

HISTORY
ATHLETICS HISTORY
From its beginnings in Philadelphia to its current version in Oakland, the Athletics franchise has been one
of the most storied in Major League history. The A’s have won nine World Championships, 15 Pennants and 16
Divisions Titles in 119 years in the American League. Only the New York Yankees (27) and St. Louis Cardinals
(11) have won more World Series and only the Yankees (40) have more American League Pennants.
The A’s were one of the eight original AL franchises when the league was born in 1901. Connie Mack was
named manager of the Philadelphia entry and would guide the A’s for 50 years, winning five World Champion-
ships and 3,582 games. The Hall of Famer was also an owner of the club for all 54 years in Philadelphia.
Under Mack’s leadership, the A’s would win six of the first 14 AL Pennants, including World Series titles in
1910, 11 and 13. The first dynasty featured the “$100,000 infield” of Stuffy McInnis, Eddie Collins, Jack Barry
and Frank “Home Run” Baker as well as Hall of Fame pitchers Chief Bender, Eddie Plank and Rube Waddell.
Waddell led the AL in strikeouts each year from 1902-07 and Baker earned the “Home Run” nickname by top-
ping the AL in round trippers from 1911-14, with 11, 10, 12 and nine.
The A’s won 99 games in 1914 but dropped off to 43 wins in 1915 as the club sold off many of its star play-
ers, a pattern that would continue throughout the history of the franchise. The A’s had seven straight last place
finishes through 1921, but a second dynasty was on the horizon.
Mack again began to assemble Hall of Fame talent in the mid-20’s, putting together one of the most feared
batting orders in baseball history with catcher Mickey Cochrane, first baseman Jimmie Foxx and outfielder Al
Simmons. Add in another Hall of Famer on the mound in Lefty Grove and the A’s would win 100 games in three
straight seasons, including back-to-back World Championships in 1929 and ’30.
The A’s won their ninth AL Pennant with a 107-win season in 1931 as Grove won AL Most Valuable Player
honors. Foxx won back-to-back MVPs in 1932 and 1933, setting franchise records for home runs (58) and RBI
(169) in 1932. However, economics again led Mack to sell or trade his best players. The club would post 13
consecutive losing seasons from 1934-46 and would finish no higher than fourth place in the final 21 years in
Philadelphia.
Connie Mack managed his final season in 1950 at the age of age of 87 and the Mack family sold the club
to Arnold Johnson, who moved the A’s to Kansas City in 1955.
The A’s finished in sixth place in their first season in Kansas City, but that would be their highest finish in
the midwest, which featured 13 losing seasons. The club again began to develop talent, but most, including
the likes of Roger Maris and 1952 AL MVP Bobby Shantz, would end up being traded to the Yankees. Following
the death of Johnson in 1960, the A’s were sold to Charlie Finley.
Finley began assembling another talented group of A’s players, signing Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Rollie Fingers,
Bert Campaneris and Joe Rudi and drafting Reggie Jackson, Sal Bando and Vida Blue. While most of these play-
ers had limited time with the Kansas City A’s, they would form the nucleus of the next A’s dynasty.
The A’s moved to Oakland in 1968 and won 82 games that year for their first winning season in 16 years.
After back-to-back second place finishes in 1969 and ’70, the A’s won five straight American League West ti-
tles from 1971-75. Anchored by Hall of Famers Hunter, Fingers and Jackson, the A’s won three straight World
Championships from 1972-74.
Although the A’s won 98 games in 1975, the third Athletics dynasty was already coming to an end with the
departure of Hunter via free agency prior to the season. The rest of the players would be traded in the next two
years and the A’s reached a low in Oakland with a 108-loss season in 1979. However, that year saw the debut
of the next A’s superstar, Rickey Henderson.
Billy Martin was hired to manage the A’s in 1980 and Henderson flourished under Martin, stealing 100 bas-
es that year and a record 130 in 1982. Finley sold the A’s to Haas Family following the 1980 season and BillyBall,
featuring Henderson on the bases and starting pitchers going the distance, was born. The A’s won the West
in the strike-shortened 1981 season but would face a seven-year drought before returning to the postseason.
The turnaround began in 1986 with the hiring of Tony La Russa as manager and the signing of Dave Stewart
as a free agent. A trade for future Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley in 1987 led the to the emergence of the modern
day closer, and three straight rookies of the year in Jose Canseco (1986), Mark McGwire (1987) and Walt Weiss
(1988) gave the A’s the ingredients for a run of four AL West Championships in five years from 1988-92.
Oakland made three straight World Series appearances from 1988-90, including a World Championship
in 1989 that was buoyed by the return of Henderson to Oakland. Two years later on May 1, 1991, Henderson
would break Lou Brock’s Major League stolen base record with his 939th steal.
The A’s had MVPs in 1988 (Canseco), 1990 (Henderson) and 1992 (Eckersley) and Cy Youngs in Bob Welch
(1990) and Eckersley (1992), but this time it was age that ended the A’s run. While the A’s have not won the
World Series since the 1989 sweep of the cross-bay rival San Francisco Giants, there has been no shortage of
postseason berths in the 21st century.
The Moneyball teams of the early 2000’s featuring the Big Three of Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder and 2002
Cy Young winner Barry Zito, and the offensive power of 2000 MVP Jason Giambi, 2002 MVP Miguel Tejada
and Gold Glover Eric Chavez, made four straight postseason appearances from 2000-03 and another in 2006.
The 2002 club set a then-AL record with a 20-game winning streak, capped off by a Scott Hatteberg pinch hit
home run.
The Bob Melvin-led A’s have returned to the postseason five times in the last eight years, including back-
to-back AL West titles in 2012-13.

POSTSEASON SERIES YEAR-BY-YEAR RECAP

1905 WORLD SERIES


The A’s make their first appearance in the World Series and lose to the New York Giants, four
games to one. Three of the losses come against Christy Mathewson who tosses three complete
game shutouts. The A’s collect just 25 hits in the series for a .161 batting average and score just
three runs. Topsy Hartsel paces the A’s offense with a .294 batting average and Bris Lord has the
only two RBI. The A’s use three pitchers in the Series and all toss complete games. Chief Bender
makes two starts and has a 1.06 ERA.

The A’s lose the first game in Philadelphia, 3-0, as Mathewson tosses a four-hit shutout. Chief
Bender returns the favor in the second game of the series as he tosses a four-hit shutout and
strikes out nine in a 3-0 A’s win at New York. Lord has RBI singles in the third and eighth innings.
Mathewson tosses a four-hit shutout in the Giants 9-0 win in Game 3 and Joe McGinnity blanks
the A’s on five hits in a 1-0 win in Game 4. Eddie Plank allows just four hits in Game 4 and the
only run of the game is unearned after a Monte Cross error. Mathewson tossed a six-hit shutout
in Game 5 as the Giants clinch the series with a 2-0 win.

1910 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their first World Series and use just two pitchers to defeat the Chicago Cubs, four
games to one. Jack Coombs wins three of the games and posts a 3.33 ERA while Chief Bender
is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA. Eddie Collins paces the A’s offense with a .429 batting average and four
doubles and Frank Baker hits .409. Danny Murphy connects for the only home run of the series
and leads the A’s with nine RBI. The A’s hit .316 and score 35 runs in the five games while the two
pitchers combine for a 2.76 ERA and allow 15 runs.

The A’s win the first two games in Philadelphia as Bender tosses a three-hitter in Game 1 and
strikes out eight in a 4-1 win while Baker has three hits and two RBI. Coombs allows eight hits
and nine walks in Game 2 but the Cubs strand 14 in a 9-3 A’s win. Eddie Collins has three of the
A’s 14 hits and all nine Athletics collect at least one hit. The series moves to Chicago for Game
3 and Coombs comes back on one day of rest and defeats the Cubs, 12-5, collecting three hits
and three RBI. Harry Davis and Jack Berry add three hits each and Barry and Murphy have three
RBI. Bender suffers the A’s only loss in Game 4 when the Cubs win 4-3 in 10 innings. The A’s have
a 3-2 lead entering the ninth but the Cubs score once in the ninth and once in the 10th for the
win. The A’s wrap up the series with a 7-2 win in Game 5 as Coombs picks up his third win of the
series. Collins has three hits and the A’s score five times in the eighth to break open a 2-1 game.

1911 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their second consecutive World Championship as they defeat the New York Giants,
four games to two. The A’s pitching staff, which consists of Chief Bender, Jack Coombs and Eddie
Plank, allows just 13 runs in the series for a 1.29 ERA. Bender goes 2-1 with a 1.04 ERA, Coombs
is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA and Plank is 1-1 with a 1.86 ERA. Frank “Home Run” Baker earns his nick-
name as he paces the A’s offense with a .375 batting average, two home runs and five RBI. Jack
Barry hits .368 and the A’s offense hits .244 with 27 runs scored in the six games.

The A’s lose Game 1 at New York by a 2-1 score as Bender strikes out 11 in eight innings in a
complete game effort but loses to Christy Mathewson who tosses a six-hitter. The A’s then win
each of the next three games, beginning with a 3-1 win at Philadelphia in Game 2. Plank tosses
a five-hitter and Baker breaks a 1-1 tie with a two-run home run in the sixth inning. Game 3 lasts
11 innings at New York and the A’s are 3-2 winners. Trailing 1-0 entering the ninth inning, Baker
homers to tie the game and the A’s score two in the 11th for the win. Coombs goes the distance,
allowing just three hits in 11 innings. The series is delayed for seven days because of rain but
it resumes with a 4-2 A’s win in Philadelphia in Game 4. Bender tosses a seven-hitter, Barry has
three hits and Eddie Collins, Danny Murphy and Baker have two hits each. The A’s lead 3-0 after
six innings in Game 5 but the Giants score once in the bottom of the seventh, twice in the ninth
and once in the 10th for the win. The A’s then wrap up the series with a 13-2 win at Philadelphia,
scoring seven times in the seventh inning. Murphy has four hits, Bris Lord adds three and Bender
tosses a four-hitter.

1913 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their third World Championship over a four-year span as they defeat the New York
Giants, four games to one. The A’s use just three pitchers in the series with all going the distance,
including Chief Bender, who wins Games 1 and 4, and Eddie Plank, who posts a 1-1 record and
a 0.95 ERA. Frank Baker paces the A’s offense with a .450 batting average and matches Wally
Schang for the team-lead with seven RBI. Eddie Collins hits .421 and steals three bases.

Bender allows 11 hits in Game 1 at New York, but the A’s defeat the Giants, 6-4. Collins goes 3 for
3 and scores three runs and Baker is 3 for 4 with three RBI, including a two-run home run. The A’s
lone loss comes in a Game 2 at Philadelphia, a 3-0 decision in 10 innings. Plank tosses nine shut-
out innings before allowing three runs in the top of the 10th, while Christy Mathewson blanks
the A’s on eight hits. The series returns to Philadelphia for Game 3 and the A’s score five times in
the first two innings en route to an 8-2 win. Collins has his second three-hit game of the series
and drives in three runs and Joe Bush tosses a five-hitter. The A’s take a 6-0 lead into the seventh
inning of Game 4 at Philadelphia and hold on to win 6-5. Jack Barry has three hits and Schang
goes 2 for 2 with four RBI. The A’s then clinch the series at New York with a 3-1 win in Game 5 as
Plank tosses a two-hitter, allowing just one unearned run in the fifth inning. The A’s score early
again as Baker has a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a RBI single in the A’s two-run third.

1914 WORLD SERIES
The A’s return to the World Series for the fourth time in five years but are swept in four games by
the Boston Braves. The pitching staff posts a 3.41 ERA in the series, including 1.00 by Eddie Plank
The offense is held to a .172 batting average and scores just six runs in the four games. Frank
Baker leads the A’s with four hits in the series.

The A’s drop a 7-1 decision in Game 1 at Philadelphia as Dick Rudolph limits the A’s to an un-
earned run in the second inning. Chief Bender takes the loss, allowing six runs in 5.1 innings. Bill
James shuts out the A’s 1-0 in Game 2, yielding just two hits. The game is scoreless over the first
eight innings before Plank allows a Les Mann RBI single with two outs in the top of the ninth. The
series moves to Boston for Game 3, a 5-4 A’s loss in 12 innings. The score is tied at 2-2 when Frank
Baker delivers a two-run single in the top of the 10th inning. Joe Bush, who goes the distance
for the A’s, then allows two runs in the bottom of the 10th. Bush takes the loss when his own
throwing error on a Herbie Moran sacrifice bunt attempt in the 12th allows the winning run to
score. The A’s then drop a 3-1 decision in Game 4 as Rudolph again holds the A’s to just one run.
Starting pitcher Bob Shawkey allows three runs in 5.0 innings for the loss.

1929 WORLD SERIES
The A’s return to the World Series for the first time in 15 years and win their fourth World Cham-
pionship, besting the Chicago Cubs four games to one. The pitching staff posts a 2.40 ERA, in-
cluding 1.42 by Howard Ehmke. The offense hits .281 and scores 26 runs in the five-game series.
Jimmy Dykes hits .421 and Mickey Cochrane adds a .400 batting average. Jimmie Foxx, Mule
Haas and Al Simmons all hit two home runs each.

Ehmke strikes out 13 and tosses an eight-hitter in the opener as the A’s win 3-1 at Chicago. Foxx
breaks a scoreless tie with a solo home run in the seventh inning and the A’s have a 3-0 lead
before Ehmke allows an unearned run in the bottom of the ninth. In Game 2, Simmons drives in
four runs and Foxx is 3 for 5 with three RBI and his second home run in a 9-3 victory. The series
moves to Philadelphia for Game 3 when the A’s lose their only game of the series, 3-1. George
Earnshaw goes the distance and strikes out 10, after tossing 4.2 innings two days earlier. The A’s
fall behind 8-0 in Game 4 before scoring 10 times in the bottom of the seventh inning to win,
10-8. Haas and Simmons both homer in the inning and Haas and Jimmy Dykes drive in three
runs each as the A’s send 15 batters to the plate. Philadelphia then clinches the series with a 3-2
win in Game 5. Ehmke allows two runs in 3.2 innings before Rube Walberg comes on to pitch 5.1
innings of scoreless relief. The A’s trail 2-0 entering the bottom of the ninth before Haas hits a
two-run home run to tie the game. Bing Miller then has a walk-off double to drive in Simmons
and win the series.

1930 WORLD SERIES
The Athletics win back-to-back World Series for the second time, defeating St. Louis four games
to two. The pitching staff allows 12 runs in the six-game series for a 1.73 ERA. George Earnshaw
goes 2-0 with a 0.72 ERA in three starts and Lefty Grove picks up the other two wins, posting a
1.42 ERA in three games, two starts. Offensively, the A’s hit just .197 but add six home runs. Al
Simmons hits .364 with two home runs and Jimmie Foxx bats .333. Mickey Cochrane adds two
home runs and Jimmy Dykes drives in a team-best five runs.

Grove tosses a complete game in Game 1, a 5-2 A’s win at Philadelphia. The A’s are held to just
five hits in the game, including a pair of solo home runs by Simmons and Cochrane. Earnshaw
fires a six-hitter in the A’s 6-1 win in Game 2. Simmons has two hits and Cochrane homers again,
a solo shot in the first inning. The Cardinals win Game 3 in St. Louis as Bill Hallahan shuts out the
A’s on seven hits in a 5-0 win. Jesse Haines four-hits the A’s in a 3-1 loss in Game 4 to even the
series at two games each. Earnshaw and Grove then combine on a three-hit shutout in a 2-0 win
in Game 5. Foxx hits a two-run home run in the ninth inning to account for all the scoring. The
series returned to Philadelphia for Game 6 and the A’s win their fifth and final World Champion-
ship in Philadelphia with a 7-1 victory. Earnshaw tosses a complete-game five-hitter and Dykes
and Simmons both homer.

1931 WORLD SERIES
The A’s and Cardinals meet in the World Series for the second consecutive season but the A’s lose
in seven games. The pitching staff posts a 2.66 ERA, including 1.88 by George Earnshaw and 2.42
by Lefty Grove, who picks up two of the A’s three wins. Earnshaw and Grove both start three
games each. The offense hits .220 and scores 22 runs in the seven-game series. Jimmie Foxx hits
.348 and Al Simmons bats .333 with two of the A’s three home runs and eight RBI.

The series opens in St. Louis and the A’s take a 1-0 lead with a 6-2 win in Game 1. Grove goes
the distance, allowing 12 hits, and Simmons drives in three runs, including a two-run home run
in the seventh. Bill Hallahan tosses a three-hit shutout as the A’s lose Game 2, 2-0. The A’s then
fall behind in the series with a 5-2 loss in Game 3 at Philadelphia. Burleigh Grimes no hits the A’s
over the first seven innings before Bing Miller singles in the eighth. Al Simmons hits a two-run
home run in the ninth for the A’s only runs. The A’s even the series at two games each with a 3-0
win in Game 4. Earnshaw tosses a two-hit shutout and Foxx hits a solo home run in the sixth.
St. Louis wins the final game in Philadelphia, 5-1, but the A’s win Game 6 at St. Louis, 8-1 to force
a seventh game. In the final game, Grimes again shuts down the A’s in a 4-2 win. He does not
allow a run over the first eight innings before yielding a pinch hit two-run single to Doc Cramer
with two outs in the ninth. Max Bishop comes to the plate as the potential winning run but Hal-
lahan relieves Grimes and gets Bishop to fly out to end the series.

1971 ALCS
In their first trip to the ALCS, the Oakland A’s ran into the defending World Champion Baltimore
Orioles, losing in three straight games. Touted A’s pitchers Vida Blue and Jim “Catfish” Hunter
ran into problems during the series, leading to the A’s downfall. Offensively, the A’s got solid
performances out of third baseman Sal Bando and right fielder Reggie Jackson, who hit .364 and
.333 respectively.

In Game 1, Vida Blue took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh before allowing a RBI single
to Mark Belanger, a RBI double by Curt Motton and a two-run double by Paul Blair. ALCS MVP
Mike Cuellar tossed a complete game six-hitter to defeat the A’s in Game 2. Jim Hunter also
went the distance for the A’s, allowing seven hits, including four home runs. In Game 3, Reggie
Jackson homered twice and Sal Bando once but that was the A’s only scoring as Jim Palmer tossed
a complete game seven-hitter.

1972 ALCS
Forty-one years after the Philadelphia Athletics won the American League Pennant, the Oakland
A’s recorded the organization’s next pennant with a hard fought three games to two triumph
over Detroit. It was the first time in the four-year history of the ALCS that the playoffs had gone
more than three games. The A’s used superb pitching, scoring just a total of 13 runs in the five
games, but allowing only 10. The series also saw a near brawl between Tigers manager Billy
Martin and A’s shortstop Campy Campaneris, who threw his bat at Tiger hurler Lerrin LaGrow
after being hit by a pitch.

In Game 1, the Tigers scored a run in the top of the 11th inning on an Al Kaline home run to
take a 2-1 lead but Gonzalo Marquez tied the game in the bottom of the inning on a pinch-hit
RBI single. A Kaline throwing error on the play allowed Gene Tenace to score the winning run.
ALCS MVP Blue Moon Odom tossed a three-hit shutout in a 5-0 A’s win in Game 2. Campaneris
had three hits, two runs and two steals but was suspended for the remainder of the playoffs by
American League President Joe Cronin after the bat throwing incident. Joe Coleman blanked the
A’s 3-0 on seven hits in Game 3 and the Tigers won 4-3 in 10 innings in Game 4. The A’s scored
two runs in the top of the 10th for a 3-1 lead but the Tigers scored three times in the bottom of
the 10th, including the game-winning single by Jim Northrup. In Game 5, Vida Blue pitched four
innings of shutout relief to pick up the save for Odom. Gene Tenace’s two-out RBI single in the
fourth inning scored George Hendrick with the winning run.

1972 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their first World Championship in Oakland, the first for the Athletics franchise since
1930, defeating Cincinnati, four games to three. Six of the seven games are decided by one run
and Gene Tenace picks up the offensive slack for Reggie Jackson who misses the entire series
after pulling a hamstring in the ALCS. Tenace hits .348 with four home runs and nine RBI in the
seven games to earn World Series MVP honors.

Tenace homers in his first two at bats of the series, hitting a two-run homer in the second and a
solo shot in the fifth to lead the A’s to a 3-2 win in Game 1. Catfish Hunter tossed 8 2/3 innings
of six-hit, one-run baseball in Game 2 before yielding to Rollie Fingers who got the final out in
the A’s 2-1 win. Joe Rudi homered and made a spectacular catch off the bat of Denis Menke in
the ninth. After a rainout in Oakland, the Reds won Game 3, 1-0 on a combined three-hitter by
Jack Billingham and Clay Carroll. In Game 4, the A’s trailed 2-1 entering the bottom of the ninth
before scoring twice on pinch hit RBI singles by Don Mincher and Angel Mangual to take a 3-1
lead in the series. The Reds scored once in the eighth and once in the ninth off Rollie Fingers to
win Game 5, 5-4 and then won 8-1 in Game 6 to even the series at three games each. In Game
7, the score was tied at one after five innings when Tenace delivered a RBI double to give the A’s
the lead. Sal Bando followed with a RBI double and Rollie Fingers pitched two scoreless innings
for the save.

1973 ALCS
The A’s win their second consecutive American League Pennant, defeating Baltimore three
games to two. It was the second consecutive year that the ALCS had gone the maximum five
games after having been decided in three games each year previously. In a rematch of the 1971
ALCS, it was pitching again that was the key, this time for the A’s. Five of the six A’s pitchers had
ERAs under 2.00 for the series.

Jim Palmer tossed a five-hit shutout to defeat the A’s 6-0 in Game 1 but the A’s evened the se-
ries with a 6-3 win in Game 2. Sal Bando homered twice off Dave McNally and Campy Cam-
paneris and Joe Rudi also homered for the A’s. The A’s won Game 3, 2-1 in 11 innings as both Ken
Holtzman and Mike Cuellar went the distance. Holtzman allowed just three hits and Cuellar had
allowed just three before Campaneris homered to lead off the bottom of the 11th. The A’s ap-
peared to have the series locked up in Game 4 as they had a 4-0 lead after six innings. Baltimore
then scored four times off Vida Blue in the seventh and once off losing pitcher Rollie Fingers in
the eighth for a 5-4 win. ALCS MVP Catfish Hunter then tossed a five-hit shutout in Game 5 as
the A’s won 3-0 to clinch the series.

1973 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their second consecutive World Championship, winning Games 6 and 7 to defeat the
New York Mets, four games to three. Reggie Jackson was named MVP of the series after hitting
.310 with a home run and six RBI and Ken Holtzman was the winning pitcher in two of the A’s
four victories. The series also featured the “firing” of Mike Andrews by A’s owner Charlie Finley
after his two 12th-inning errors in Game 2 helped the Mets to a 10-7 win. Andrews did make
another appearance in the series, grounding out as a pinch hitter in Game 4.

Holtzman picks up the win in the A’s 2-1 victory in Game 1. The A’s collect just three hits off Mets
starter Jon Matlack but all come in the third inning as Holtzman doubles and scores on an error
and Joe Rudi has a RBI single. The Mets score four runs off Rollie Fingers in the 12th inning of
Game 2 to defeat the A’s 10-7, but only one run was earned as Andrews committed two errors.
Game 3 went 11 innings but the A’s won 3-2 on a RBI single by Campy Campaneris in the top of
the 11th. The A’s lost Game 4, 6-1 as Rusty Staub was a perfect 4-for-4 to even the series at two
games apiece. Jerry Koosman and Tug McGraw then combined to three-hit the A’s in a 2-0 win in
Game 5 but the A’s came back to win the final two games in Oakland. In Game 6, Reggie Jackson
doubled twice, singled and drove in two runs in the A’s 3-1 victory. The A’s had gone the entire se-
ries without a home run before Campaneris hit a two-run home run in the third inning in Game
2. Jackson added a two-run homer later in the inning and Darold Knowles retired Wayne Garrett
with runners on first and third in the ninth to save the A’s 5-2 win.

1974 ALCS
The A’s and Orioles square off in the American League Championship Series for the third time in
the last four years and the A’s win their third straight American League Pennant, defeating the
Orioles three games to one. Pitching was the key as Vida Blue, Ken Holtzman and Blue Moon
Odom combined for 21.1 innings of scoreless pitching. Ray Fosse paced the A’s offense with a
.333 batting average, one home run and three RBI.

The A’s lose Game 1 of the series, 6-3 as Paul Blair, Brooks Robinson and Bobby Grich all homer
off A’s starter Catfish Hunter. Ken Holtzman gets the A’s back on track in Game 2 with a five-hit
shutout in the A’s 5-0 win and Ray Fosse adds three hits and three RBI. Game 3 is a pitchers duel
between ALCS MVP Vida Blue and Jim Palmer and Blue comes out on the winning end when Sal
Bando hits a solo home run in the fourth inning for the only run of the game. Palmer would al-
low just three other hits but Blue allowed just two and did not walk a batter. Jim Hunter tosses
seven scoreless innings in Game 5 and A’s pitchers extend their scoreless streak to 30 innings
before Rollie Fingers allows a run in the ninth in the A’s 2-1 win. The A’s collect just one hit but
walk 11 times.

1974 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their third consecutive World Championship to become the first team to win at least
three straight since the New York Yankees won five straight, 1949-53. The A’s defeated the Los
Angeles Dodgers in five games in a series where four of the five games were decided by a 3-2
score. Bert Campaneris hit .353 in the series and Joe Rudi topped the A’s with four RBI. World
Series MVP Rollie Fingers had a win and two saves while posting a 1.93 ERA and the A’s used just
five pitchers the entire series.

The A’s open the series with a 3-2 win as Rollie Fingers pitched 4.1 innings of relief for the win
before Catfish Hunter comes on to strike out Joe Ferguson in the bottom of the ninth with the
tying run at first base. The Dodgers even the series with a 3-2 win in Game 2 as Don Sutton shuts
out the A’s on four hits over the first eight innings. Joe Rudi has a two-run single in the ninth but
the A’s rally falls short. Hunter starts Game 3 and kept the Dodgers off the board over the first
seven innings in a 3-2 win. Ken Holtzman is the winning pitcher in the A’s 5-2 win in Game 4 and
he also contributes to the A’s offense with a solo home run in the third inning. The A’s trailed 2-1
entering the bottom of the sixth but score four times, highlighted by Jim Holt’s two-run pinch
hit single. Rollie Fingers clinches his series MVP honors by pitching two scoreless innings for the
save in the A’s 3-2 win in Game 5. Joe Rudi homers to lead off the seventh inning to break a 2-2
tie.

1975 ALCS
The A’s streak of three consecutive American League Pennants is snapped by Boston as the Red
Sox sweep the A’s in three games. After posting a team ERA under 3.00 in each of the previous
three ALCS wins, the A’s team ERA in 1975 ballooned to 4.32. Sal Bando paced the A’s offense
with a .500 batting average and Reggie Jackson drove in three of the seven runs the A’s scored
in the series.

Luis Tiant pitched a three-hitter in Boston’s 7-1 win in Game 1 at Fenway Park. Three A’s errors
led to two runs in the first inning but the A’s still trailed just 2-0 before Boston scored five in the
seventh. The A’s took a 3-0 lead in Game 2, highlighted by a Reggie Jackson two-run home run
in the first inning but Boston tied the game with three in the fourth off Vida Blue. Rollie Fingers
then allowed three runs in four innings as the A’s lost 6-3. The series moved to Oakland for Game
3 but the Red Sox built a 4-0 lead in a 5-3 win. The A’s started their Game 1 starter, Ken Holtzman,
and he allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings.

1981 ALDS
The A’s sweep a three-game series from Kansas City in baseball’s first ever Division Series, pitting
first and second half winners in each division in a season interrupted by a strike. The A’s pitching
staff allows just two runs in the entire series and the offense is paced by Dwayne Murphy who is
6-for-11 in the three-game series.

Mike Norris tosses a four-hit shutout in Game 1, a 4-0 A’s victory at Kansas City. Wayne Gross hit
a three-run home run in the fourth inning. The A’s get their second consecutive complete game
in Game 2 as Steve McCatty pitches a six-hitter in the A’s 2-1 win. Tony Armas had a RBI double
in the first inning, and after the Royals tied the game in the fifth, Armas added a RBI double in
the eighth for the win. The A’s complete the sweep with a 4-1 win in Oakland in Game 3. Armas
had a RBI single in the first and three Kansas City errors led to a run in the third. After the Roy-
als scored a run in the fourth, Dave McKay homered and Dwayne Murphy had a RBI single in the
bottom of the inning.

1981 ALCS
The A’s are swept by the New York Yankees in three games in their first ALCS appearance in seven
years. The A’s are outscored 20-4 in the three-game set, compiling a .222 batting average while
allowing a 6.84 ERA. Rickey Henderson provides most of the offense as he is 4-for-11 with two
doubles, a triple, an RBI and two stolen bases.

The Yankees score three times in the first inning off A’s starter Mike Norris in Game 1 en route to a
3-1 victory. Dwayne Murphy drives in Rob Picciolo with the A’s lone run in the first inning. The A’s
take a 3-1 lead in Game 2 before New York scores seven times in the bottom of the fourth inning
to take an 8-3 lead. Steve McCatty takes the loss, allowing five runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings
and all five A’s pitchers allow at least one run. The Yankees then clinch the series with a 4-0 vic-
tory in Game 3 as Dave Righetti, Ron Davis and Rich Gossage combine to blank the A’s on five hits.

1988 ALCS
The A’s sweep the Boston Red Sox in four games to win their first American League pennant in 14
years. The A’s hit .299 in the series and the pitching staff posts a 2.00 ERA while holding the Red
Sox to a .206 batting average. Dennis Eckersley was named ALCS MVP after saving all four games
and the bullpen recorded three of the wins. Dave Henderson hit .375 and Jose Canseco hit three
of the A’s seven home runs.

Jose Canseco homers in the fourth inning of Game 1 but Dave Henderson provides the game-
winning single in the eighth inning in the A’s 2-1 victory. Game 2 is a scoreless tie until the Red
Sox score twice in the sixth off Storm Davis but Jose Canseco hit a two-run home run and Mark
McGwire added a RBI single in the seventh to give the A’s a 3-2 lead. After the Red Sox tie the
game, Walt Weiss has the game-winning RBI single in the ninth. The A’s outscore the Red Sox
10-6 in Game 3 as Carney Lansford, McGwire and Ron Hassey have three hits each while Hassey
drives in three runs. The A’s clinch the series with a 4-1 win in Game 4 as Dave Stewart allows one
run in seven innings for the win. Jose Canseco homered in the first and Dave Henderson had an
RBI single in the third before the A’s score two insurance runs in the eighth.

1988 WORLD SERIES
The A’s return to the World Series for the first time in 14 years when they also met the Dodgers.
After winning the series in five games in 1974, the A’s lose to the Dodgers in five games in 1988.
The A’s hit just .177 in the series and are outscored 21-11 in the five games. Jose Canseco col-
lects just one hit in the series but leads the A’s with five RBI. Storm Davis loses twice and posts
an 11.25 ERA.

Canseco hits a grand slam in the second inning of Game 1 to give the A’s a 4-2 lead before Kirk
Gibson hits a pinch-hit, two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Dodgers
to a 5-4 win. Orel Hershiser shuts out the A’s on three hits in a 6-0 Los Angeles win in Game 2.
Davis allows six runs in 3.1 innings and Dave Parker has all three of the A’s hits. The series moves
to Oakland for Game 3 and the A’s get their only win of the series when Mark McGwire breaks a
1-1 tie with a one-out home run in the bottom of the ninth. The Dodgers score two runs in the
first inning of Game 4 and lead the rest of the way in a 4-3 win. Dave Henderson collects four
hits. Hershiser clinches World Series MVP honors by tossing a four-hitter in Game 5 to defeat
the A’s 5-2.

1989 ALCS
The A’s win their second consecutive American League Pennant by defeating Toronto, four games
to one. Rickey Henderson runs away with ALCS MVP honors, batting .400 with eight runs scored,
two home runs, five RBI and eight stolen bases in the five game series. Dave Parker also homers
twice, Dave Stewart wins both of his starts and Dennis Eckersley saves three of the A’s four wins.

The A’s win Game 1 by a 7-3 score, but were trailing 3-2 entering the sixth. Mark McGwire ties
the game with a solo home run and Henderson breaks up a double play that leads to two more
runs. Stewart and Eckersley do not allow a hit after a fourth inning home run by Ernie Whitt.
Henderson goes 2-for-2 with two walks, two runs and four steals to lead the A’s to a 6-3 win in
Game 2 as Mike Moore allows just one unearned run in seven innings for the win. The series
moves to Toronto for Game 3 and the Blue Jays record a 7-3 win, scoring six runs off Storm Davis
after the A’s build a 3-0 lead. Jose Canseco hits a home run into the fifth deck at Skydome to
highlight the A’s 6-5 win in Game 4. Henderson hits two home runs and also drives in four runs.
The A’s then clinch the series with a 4-3 win in Game 5, building a 4-0 lead before holding on as
the Blue Jays score two in the eighth and three in the ninth. Stewart picks up the win and the A’s
offense collects just four hits.

1989 WORLD SERIES
Oakland sweeps San Francisco for the A’s first World Championship in 15 years in a series halted
12 days after an earthquake struck just prior to Game 3. The A’s outscore the Giants 32-14 in the
four-game set, hitting nine home runs and batting .301. Dave Stewart earns series MVP honors
with two wins and a 1.69 ERA, Mike Moore wins the other two games and Rickey Henderson hits
.474.

Stewart tosses a five-hit shutout in Game 1 as the A’s win 5-0 in Oakland. The A’s score three
times in the second and Dave Parker and Walt Weiss hit solo home runs in the third and fourth
innings. Moore and the A’s bullpen hold the Giants to one run in a 5-1 victory in Game 2. With
the score tied 1-1 after three innings, the A’s break the game open with a four-run fourth, high-
lighted by Terry Steinbach’s three-run homer. The series moves to San Francisco for Game 3 and
the A’s outslug the Giants 13-7. Dave Henderson homers twice and Tony Phillips, Jose Canseco
and Carney Lansford also homer as the A’s tie a series record with five home runs. Moore picks up
the win in the A’s 9-6 win in Game 4 and also adds a two-run double. Rickey Henderson homers
and collects three hits as the A’s lead 8-0 entering the bottom of the sixth.

1990 ALCS
The A’s sweep Boston in the American League Championship Series for the second time in the
last three years and become the first team since the 1976-78 New York Yankees to win three
straight pennants. The A’s pitching staff held the Red Sox to four runs, one in each game, while
the offense hit .299 with no home runs. Dave Stewart picked up two wins and posted a 1.13 ERA
to earn ALCS MVP honors and Terry Steinbach (.455), Carney Lansford (.438) and Mike Gallego
(.400) all hit .400.

Dave Stewart and Roger Clemens engaged in a pitchers duel in Game 1 and when Clemens left
after six innings, the A’s trailed 1-0. The A’s then scored nine runs off the Sox bullpen, including
seven in the ninth, to win 9-1. Rickey Henderson had three RBI, Lansford and Steinbach had three
hits each and Stewart allows one run in eight innings. Boston again took a 1-0 lead in Game 2,
but the A’s scored four unanswered runs this time, tying the game on a Harold Baines RBI single
in the fourth and taking the lead on a Baines ground out in the seventh. The series moves to
Oakland for Game 3 and starts in a familiar way as Boston scores a run in the second before the
A’s score twice in the fourth and sixth innings to win 4-1. The A’s finally score first in Game 4,
scoring three times in the second highlighted by a two-run double by Mike Gallego. Dave Stew-
art pitches eight scoreless innings before allowing a run in the ninth and Rick Honeycutt gets the
final three outs for the save in the A’s 3-1 win.

1990 WORLD SERIES
The A’s are swept by Cincinnati in the World Series, the fourth sweep in which the A’s were in-
volved in six postseason series from 1988-90. The Reds outscore the A’s 22-8, shutting out Oak-
land in Game 1 and holding the A’s to one run in Game 4. The A’s hit .207 as a team led by Rickey
Henderson (.333). Dave Stewart posts a 2.77 ERA but loses twice.

Former Athletic Jose Rijo shuts out the A’s in Game 1 at Cincinnati, 7-0. He combines with Rob
Dibble and Randy Myers on a nine-hit shutout as the A’s strand 11. Dave Stewart takes the loss,
allowing four runs on three hits and four walks in four innings. The A’s lose 5-4 in 10 innings
in Game 2 as Dennis Eckersley allows three consecutive hits, including the game winning RBI
single to Joe Oliver. Jose Canseco’s solo home run highlights the A’s three-run third which puts
Oakland ahead 4-2 but the Reds score one in the fourth and one in the eighth to tie game. The
series moves to Oakland for Game 3 but the Reds win 8-2, scoring seven times in the third inning.
Mike Moore allows six runs in 2 2/3 innings for the loss and Scott Sanderson allows two more.
A Harold Baines two-run home run and a Rickey Henderson solo shot account for the A’s scoring.
Dave Stewart tosses a complete game in Game 4, but the A’s lose 2-1 as Jose Rijo and Randy My-
ers combine on a two-hitter. Carney Lansford has a RBI single in the first. Stewart shuts out the
Reds over the first seven innings before Cincinnati scores two in the eighth on a fielder’s choice
and a Hal Morris sacrifice fly.

1992 ALCS
The A’s return to the ALCS for the fourth time in the last five years, but lose for the first time dur-
ing that stretch as Toronto wins the series, 4-2. The A’s hit .251 as a team led by Harold Baines
(.440) and Jerry Browne (.400). Ruben Sierra leads Oakland with seven RBI. Dave Stewart has one
of the A’s two wins and posts a 2.70 ERA.

The A’s open the series with a 4-3 win in Game 1 at Toronto as Harold Baines breaks a 3-3 tie with
a ninth inning home run. Oakland scores three in the first on home runs by Mark McGwire and
Terry Steinbach but Dave Stewart allows single runs in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings. To-
ronto comes back to win Game 2, 3-1 as David Cone shuts out the A’s over the first eight innings
before Baines has a RBI single in the ninth. Mike Moore allows three runs in seven innings for
the loss. The Blue Jays win the first game in Oakland, 7-5 as Juan Guzman defeats Ron Darling.
The A’s collect 13 hits but strand 11 runners. Toronto then goes up 3-1 in the series with a 7-6,
11 inning win in Game 4. The A’s score five times in the third and lead 6-1 entering the eighth.
The Blue Jays score three times in the eighth and then tie the game on a two-run home run by
Roberto Alomar off Dennis Eckersley in the ninth. A Pat Borders sacrifice fly off Kelly Downs in the
11th is the game winner. Dave Stewart keeps the A’s alive with a complete game seven hitter as
Oakland wins Game 5, 6-2. Jerry Browne provides the offense with four hits and two RBI and Ru-
ben Sierra adds three RBI. The series returns to Toronto for Game 6 and the Blue Jays clinch the AL
Pennant with a 9-2 win. Mike Moore takes the loss, allowing six runs on seven hits in 2.2 innings.

2020 OAKLAND ATHLETICS MEDIA GUIDE < 499


2000 ALDS
The A’s return to postseason play for the first time since 1992 and take the eventual World Cham-
pion New York Yankees to five games before losing the series, 3-2. The A’s outscore New York
23-19, thanks to an 11-1 win in Game 4. Oakland hits .263 as a team led by Ramon Hernandez
(.375). The pitching staff compiles a 3.48 ERA led by Jim Mecir who tossed 5.1 shutout innings
and retired 16 of the 17 hitters he faces.

The A’s open the series with a 5-3 win in Oakland as Ramon Hernandez has a RBI double in the
sixth inning to break a 3-3 tie. Trailing 2-0 after four innings, the A’s score three times in the fifth,
beginning with a Hernandez RBI single. Gil Heredia allows three runs in six innings for the win.
The Yankees come back to win Game 2 as Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera combine to shut out
the A’s on six hits. The series moves to New York for Game 3 and the Yankees win their second
straight with a 4-2 victory. Tim Hudson goes the distance for the A’s but Orlando Hernandez and
Rivera combine to limit the A’s to two runs on four hits, including a Terrence Long home run. Fac-
ing elimination in Game 4, Barry Zito allows one run in 5 2/3 innings to pick up the victory in the
A’s 11-1 win. Olmedo Saenz hits a three-run home run in the first inning and Ben Grieve adds a
two-run single in the A’s three-run sixth. Oakland adds another run in the eighth and four more
in the ninth, including a two-run double by Eric Chavez. The series returns to Oakland for Game
5 but the Yankees score six times in the first inning off Gil Heredia for a 7-5 win. The A’s score
twice in the second, once in the third and two more times in the fourth but are shut out on three
hits over the final five innings.

2001 ALDS
The A’s face New York in the American League Division Series again and lose to the Yankees in
five games for the second straight year. The pitching staff compiles a 2.86 ERA, including 0.93 by
Tim Hudson. Johnny Damon leads the A’s with a .409 batting average and Terrence Long hits two
home runs, both in Game 1.

The A’s open the series with a 5-3 win for the second consecutive year as Mark Mulder allows
one run on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings for the win. Terrence Long becomes the sixth Athletic to
homer twice in a postseason game as he leads off the fourth and eighth innings with home runs.
Johnny Damon is 4 for 4 with a walk and steals two bases. Tim Hudson combines with Jason
Isringhausen for a 2-0, seven-hit shutout in Game 2. Hudson allows six of the hits in eight in-
nings and Ron Gant homers to start the fourth inning. The series returns to Oakland for Game 3
and Mike Mussina and Mariano Rivera combine to shut out the A’s on six hits. Jorge Posada hom-
ers with one out in the fifth for the only run and Barry Zito takes the loss, despite allowing one
run on two hits and one walk in eight innings. Cory Lidle starts Game 4 and allows two unearned
runs in the second, two in the third and two of the Yankees three runs in the fourth in a 9-2 loss.
Lidle allows six runs on five hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings. Miguel Tejada has four hits
and Jermaine Dye breaks his leg after fouling off a pitch in the third inning. The series returns to
Yankee Stadium for Game 5 and New York completes its comeback with a 5-3 win. RBI singles
by Jason and Jeremy Giambi in the first and second innings give the A’s a 2-0 lead but New York
scores two in the second and unearned runs in the third and fourth off Mulder to take the lead
for good. Mulder allows four runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings for the loss.

2002 ALDS
The A’s reach the postseason for the third consecutive season, facing Minnesota in the ALDS.
However, the A’s lose in five games for the third straight year. The A’s hit .288 in the series, scor-
ing 26 runs in the five games. Scott Hatteberg leads the A’s with a .500 batting average and Ray
Durham hits two home runs. The A’s pitching staff allows 27 runs for a 4.09 ERA.

After winning Game 1 in each of the previous two seasons, the A’s drop the opener in 2002, 7-5.
The A’s take a 5-1 lead after two innings but Tim Hudson allows a run in the third and one of the
Twins three runs in the sixth. Ted Lilly allows two runs in two-thirds of an inning for the loss and
blown save. The A’s win Game 2 9-1 as Eric Chavez hits a three-run home run in the first to give
Mark Mulder all the runs he would need. Mulder allows a run on five hits in six innings. The
series moves to Minnesota for Game 3 and the A’s win 6-3 behind Barry Zito. Ray Durham leads
off the game with an inside-the-park home run and Scott Hatteberg follows with a home run
to mark the first time in postseason history a team has started a game with back-to-back home
runs. The Twins even the series at two with an 11-2 win in Game 4. Miguel Tejada hits a two-run
home run in the third inning but Tim Hudson allows two in the bottom of the inning before the
Twins score seven unearned runs in the fourth to hand Hudson the loss. Minnesota then wins
Game 5, 5-4. The Twins take a 2-0 lead before Ray Durham homers in the bottom of the third.
The score remains 2-1 until Billy Koch allows three runs in the ninth. Mark Ellis hits a three-run
home run in the bottom of the ninth.

2003 ALDS
The A’s reach the postseason for the fourth consecutive season, facing Boston in the ALDS. How-
ever, the A’s lose in five games for the fourth straight year. The A’s hit .213 in the series and out-
score the Red Sox 18-17. Eric Byrnes leads the A’s with a .462 batting average. The A’s pitching
staff records a 2.98 ERA and Ted Lilly does not allow a run in 9.0 innings.

The A’s win Game 1 in 12 innings as Ramon Hernandez has a bases loaded two-out bunt single
in the bottom of the 12th for a 5-4 win. Erubiel Durazo sends the game into extra innings with
a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Oakland takes a 2-0 lead in the series with
a 5-1 win in Game 2. The A’s score all five of their runs in the second inning, highlighted by a
Hernandez RBI single and an Eric Byrnes two-run double. Barry Zito allows one run on five hits
in 7.0 innings and strikes out nine for the win. The series moves to Boston for Game 3 and the
Sox win 3-1 in 11 innings on a two-run pinch-hit home run by Trot Nixon. The A’s trail 1-0 after
five innings before tying the game with a run in the sixth inning, an inning in which Byrnes is
tagged out when he fails to touch home and Miguel Tejada is tagged out between third and
home when he stops after being obstructed. The A’s lose Game 4, 5-4, as starting pitcher Tim
Hudson is injured after one inning. The A’s lead 4-2 entering the bottom of the sixth but Boston
scores a run in the sixth and two more in the eighth off Keith Foulke for the win. Barry Zito has a
two-hit shutout after five innings in Game 5 but the Red Sox score four times in the sixth inning
off him for a 4-3 win.

2006 ALDS
The A’s returned to postseason play for the fifth time in seven years and won a postseason se-
ries for the first time since the 1990 ALCS by sweeping Minnesota three games to none in the
ALDS. They snap a six-series postseason losing streak and a nine-game losing streak in potential
postseason clinching games, which was the longest such streak in Major League history. The A’s
batted .245 in the series and compiled a 2.33 ERA while outscoring the Twins 16-7. Frank Thomas
led the A’s with a .500 batting average and two home runs and Marco Scutaro topped the club
with six RBI.

The A’s win Game 1 in Minnesota, 3-2 as Barry Zito allows just one run on four hits in eight in-
nings for the win. Frank Thomas homers and Marco Scutaro adds a RBI double in the second
inning and Zito takes a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning before allowing a home run
to Rondell White. Thomas homers again in the ninth inning for an important insurance run as
Huston Street allows a run in the bottom of the ninth but gets the save. The A’s win Game 2 by
a 5-2 score. Oakland scores twice in the fifth inning on a Scutaro RBI double and a Jason Kendall
RBI single, but Esteban Loaiza allows back-to-back home runs to Michael Cuddyer and Justin
Morneau in the sixth inning. Mark Kotsay then hits a two-run inside-the-park home run in the
seventh inning to give the A’s the lead for good. The series moves to Oakland for Game 3 and
the A’s complete the sweep with an 8-3 win. Scutaro doubles twice and has four RBI and Milton
Bradley and Eric Chavez homer. Dan Haren allows two runs in six innings for the win.

2006 ALCS
The A’s return to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 1992 and the
11th time overall, but are swept in four games by Detroit. The A’s hit .221 in the series and score
just nine runs in the four games. Milton Bradley drives in five of those runs and homers twice
while batting a team leading .500. The A’s pitching staff allows 22 runs for a 5.71 ERA.

The A’s lose Game 1 in Oakland by a score of 5-1. Barry Zito takes the loss, allowing five runs on
seven hits in 3 2/3 innings, but the A’s bullpen blanks the Tigers the rest of the way. The A’s are
limited to a run on eight hits by four Detroit pitchers. Milton Bradley homers from both sides of
the plate and is 4-for-5 with four RBI in Game 2 but the A’s lose, 8-5. Esteban Loaiza allows seven
runs on nine hits in six innings for the loss. The series moves to Detroit for Game 3 and Kenny
Rogers and the Tigers bullpen shut out the A’s on two hits, 3-0. Jason Kendall singles to start the
game and Marco Scutaro has a one-out single in the fifth for the A’s only hits. Rich Harden takes
the loss, allowing three runs on five hits and five walks in 5 2/3 innings. The Tigers complete the
sweep in Game 4 with a 6-3 win. Milton Bradley and Eric Chavez have RBI doubles in the first in-
ning to give the A’s a 2-0 lead and Jay Payton adds a solo home run in the fourth inning to make
the score 3-0. Dan Haren shuts out Detroit on two hits over the first four innings before allowing
two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth. The game remains tied at three entering the bottom
of the ninth when Huston Street allows a two-out three-run home run to Magglio Ordonez for
the loss.

2012 ALDS
The A’s lose to the Detroit Tigers three games to two in their first postseason appearance in six
years. It was the A’s sixth ALDS appearance in the last 13 years and their fifth loss, with all the
losses going the full five games. The A’s pitching staff compiled a 2.89 ERA and walked just seven
batters in the five-game series, but the offense hit just .194 and scored 11 runs in the five games.
Yoenis Céspedes hit safely in all five games and paced the A’s offense with a .316 batting average.

The A’s lose Game 1 in Detroit, 3-1. Coco Crisp leads off the game with a home run but that is the
only run Justin Verlander would allow in seven innings. Jarrod Parker allows a run in the first on
a double play, an unearned run in the third and an Alex Avila home run in the fifth. The A’s fall
behind two games to zero with a 5-4 loss in Game 2. Cliff Pennington breaks a 1-1 tie with a RBI
single in the seventh but Sean Doolittle allows two unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh
to put Detroit ahead 3-2. The A’s then score twice in the eighth when Céspedes scores on a wild
pitch and Josh Reddick homers, but the Tigers tie the game in the eighth and win it on a Don Kelly
sacrifice fly off Grant Balfour in the ninth. The series moves to Oakland for Game 3 where Brett
Anderson combines with three A’s relievers on a four-hit, 2-0 shutout. Céspedes has a RBI single
in the first and Seth Smith homers in the fifth. In Game 4, the A’s trail 3-1 entering the bottom
of the ninth before scoring three times to send the series to a fifth game. Smith ties the game
with a two-run double and scores two outs later on a Crisp RBI single. The A’s then lose Game 5
in Oakland 6-0 as Verlander tosses a four-hit shutout. Parker makes his second start of the series
and loses for the second time, allowing four runs on seven hits in 6.1 innings.

2013 ALDS
The A’s face Detroit in the ALDS for the second consecutive year and lose three games to two
for the second consecutive year. Oakland won two of the first three games but then lost two
straight to fall to 1-12 in potential clinch games since 2000, including 0-6 in Game 5’s. The A’s
pitching staff compiled a 3.48 ERA and held the Tigers to a .235 batting average, but the offense
hit just .217 and struck out 57 times in the five games. Yoenis Céspedes hit safely in all five games
and Coco Crisp batted .389.

The A’s lose Game 1 in Oakland, 3-2. Bartolo Colón allows three runs in the first inning but those
were the only runs he would allow in six innings of work. Max Scherzer blanks the A’s on one hit
over the first six innings before Céspedes hits a two-run home run in the seventh for the A’s only
runs of the game. Oakland evens the series at 1-1 when Sonny Gray and Grant Balfour combine
on a four-hit, 1-0 shutout in Game 2. Gray tosses eight innings and allows all four of the hits.
Justin Verlander tosses seven shutout innings for the Tigers before Stephen Vogt wins the game
with a walk-off RBI single off Rick Porcello in the bottom of the ninth. The series moves to Detroit
for Game 3, which the A’s win, 6-3. Jarrod Parker has a 3-0 lead when he allows three runs in the
bottom of the fourth, but the A’s take the lead for good when Brandon Moss homers with one
out in the fifth. Josh Reddick and Seth Smith also homer in the game. The A’s lose Game 4 by an
8-6 margin. Dan Straily had a 3-0 lead before allowing a three-run home run to Jhonny Peralta in
the bottom of the fifth. Coco Crisp delivered a RBI single in the seventh to give the A’s a 4-3 lead
but Sean Doolittle allowed two runs in the bottom of the inning for the blown save. The A’s load
the bases with no outs in the eighth but are unable to score and the Tigers score three times in
the bottom of the eighth to put the game away. The series concludes in Oakland when Verlander
and Joaquin Benoit combine on a three-hit shutout in a 3-0 A’s loss. Sonny Gray makes his second
start of the series and allows three runs in five innings for the loss.

2014 ALWC
The A’s travel to Kansas City in their first appearance in the American League Wild Card one-game
playoff and lose to the Royals in 12 innings by a score of 9-8. Brandon Moss hits a two-run home
run in the first inning and a three-run home run in the A’s five-run sixth inning to set an Athlet-
ics postseason record with five RBI. The A’s take a 7-3 lead into the eighth inning, but the Royals
score three times off Jon Lester to pull to within one. Sean Doolittle allows a run in the ninth for
the blown save but Alberto Callaspo has a pinch hit RBI single in the 12th to give the A’s the lead.
The bullpen then allows two runs in the bottom of the 12th, capped by a two-out RBI single by
Salvador Pérez. The Royals steal seven bases, including six over the final four innings.

2018 ALWC
The A’s face New York in the American League Wild Card game and lose at Yankee Stadium by a
score of 7-2. Liam Hendriks is the A’s “opener” and allows a two-run home run to Aaron Judge in
the bottom of the first inning for the loss. Lou Trivino comes on to pitch the second inning and
tosses 3.0 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and walking one. Shawn Kelley pitches a score-
less fifth to keep the A’s close but New York scores four times in the sixth inning off Fernando
Rodney and Blake Treinen to put the game away. Khris Davis hits a two-run home run in the
eighth to account for the A’s scoring. Oakland is held to five hits by five Yankees pitchers, but also
draws five walks and leaves nine runners on base.

2019 ALWC
The A’s host Tampa Bay in the American League Wild Card game and lose by a score of 5-1. Sean
Manaea starts for the A’s and allows a home run to Yandy Díaz to start the game. He also sur-
renders a two-run home run to Avisaíl García in the second inning and a solo home run to Díaz
in the third and is relieved by Yusmeiro Petit with no outs in the third inning and the A’s trailing
4-0. Oakland scores its lone run in the bottom of the third when Marcus Semien reaches third
on an error by third baseman Mike Brosseau and scores on a Ramón Laureano sacrifice fly. Jesús
Luzardo pitches 3.0 scoreless innings of relief to keep the A’s close but the Rays bullpen blanks the
A’s on three hits over the final four innings. Jurickson Profar and Robbie Grossman have two hits
each but Oakland does not get a runner into scoring position after the fourth inning.

The A’s and Giants began playing Spring Training games in the Bay Area in 1983 and have played at least one game in Oakland or San
Francisco every year except for 2000. Oakland is 49-41-2 (.543) in those games, which includes 21-15 (.583) in the Coliseum, 16-19-2
(.459) at Oracle Park and 12-7 (.632) at Candlestick Park. The A’s have won 17 series, lost 13 and split six. For the last 16 years, the
two clubs have played once in Oakland and twice in San Francisco, with the exception of 2014 when the game in Oakland was rained
out. There have been four three-game sweeps, with the A’s winning all three meetings in 1989 and 2019 and the Giants taking all
three in 2011 and 2017.

THE A’S ELEPHANT


After helping form the American League in 1901, New York Giants manager
John McGraw dismissed the A’s with contempt by calling them “The White El-
ephants,” implying Connie Mack should not be allowed to spend money without
supervision. Mack defiantly adopted the White Elephant as the team insignia and
in 1902, the Athletics won their first American League pennant.
The White Elephant remained the team’s mascot and later that decade, made its
first appearance on the A’s team sweaters. In 1918, the Elephant saw its first game ac-
tion when Mack had the pachyderm symbol (in blue with a white “A” inside) placed on
the left sleeve of every player.
By 1920, Mack had fully adopted the Elephant as the team’s symbol. The traditional “A”
OPPONENTS

on front of the team’s jersey was replaced by a blue elephant logo. After a few poor seasons,
Mack decided change was in order. So, in 1924, the blue elephant was replaced by the tradi-
tional white elephant on the team’s jersey and the A’s played better ball for the next few years.
In 1928, Mack decided the elephant had worn out its brief welcome on the A’s jersey fronts and replaced
the logo with the familiar “A” on the uniform. The A’s went on to win two World Championships and an AL
crown in the next three years, although the resurgence was probably due more to the additions of Foxx, Sim-
mons, Grove and Cochrane than the Elephant’s absence.
That was the last year for the Elephant on the A’s uniform until 1955, when the A’s, now in Kansas City,
added the patch to their uniform sleeves. However, when Charlie Finley purchased the team in the early 1960’s,
the Elephant was once again sent packing and replaced by, of all animals, a mule.
Prior to the 1988 season, the A’s brought back a new, more aggressive A’s Elephant. In 1995, the traditional
A’s Elephant was reincorporated into many of the team’s promotional items and publications and is now a
prominent feature on the A’s uniform.

The Ron Bergman Award was established in


2019 to honor a journalist for meritorious
contributions to the coverage of the Athletics.
OAKLAND ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM

The Oakland Coliseum has served as the home for the A’s since the franchise moved to Oakland
in 1968.
The A’s have used the facility to their advantage over the years, posting a 988-713 (.581) home
record over the last 21 seasons, which is fifth best in the majors. In 2003, the A’s set an Oakland
record for home wins as they finished with a 57-24 (.704) record in the Coliseum, marking the
most home wins in franchise history since 1931 when the Philadelphia Athletics went 60-15 at
home. In addition, two of the A’s World Championships have been clinched on the Coliseum’s
turf.
The facility is conveniently located adjacent to I-880 with two exits (Hegenberger Road/66th
Avenue) leading directly to the complex. Along with the Oakland Arena, which is located adja-
cently, it is the only major entertainment facility with a dedicated stop on the Bay Area Rapid
Transit (BART) system. The Oakland International Airport is less than a two-mile drive from the
Coliseum with shuttle service to several local hotels and restaurants.
In October of 1995, the Coliseum began a one-year, $120 million renovation project that added
22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, two private clubs and two state-of-the-art scoreboards.
As part of the team’s new 10-year lease arrangement prior to the 2015 season, an additional
$10 million in improvements was added, including the installation of new High Definition Video
boards and the addition of the Treehouse and the A’s Stomping Ground.

OAKLAND A’S IN THE COMMUNITY
As Oakland’s team, the Athletics are committed to the health, vitality and happiness of our com-
munity. The Club enriches Oakland and the East Bay through sport and civic service.

SUPPORTING YOUTH EDUCATION

The A’s education initiatives focus on literacy and STEM education by incorporating the game
of baseball into classroom learning. The A’s plan to engage more than 40,000 students in 2020
through their youth educational programming.

• Home Run Readers – Home Run Readers, presented by Ross Dress for Less, is a literacy
program designed to help young students develop a lifelong love for reading by offering
them monthly incentives when their classroom hits its reading goals.
• Science of Baseball – Science of Baseball, presented by Chevron, offers students through-
out the Bay Area the opportunity to attend STEM Education Day at the Coliseum where
students learn about the science behind America’s favorite pastime through on-field
demonstrations and a science fair before the game.
• Math Hits – Math Hits, presented by PwC, is a board game and eight-session curriculum
designed to engage students by combining baseball and math. The game allows partici-
pating students to get in the game by drafting a team and competing in “baseball” games
on the game board, while also developing fundamental math and social-emotional skills.

YOUTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL

The A’s are committed to growing youth baseball and softball participation in Oakland and the
East Bay through the Future A’s program.

• Future A’s – Future A’s, presented by Kaiser Permanente, provides complimentary jer-
seys and hats to local youth baseball and softball leagues. Future A’s teams receive
additional benefits and support, including development clinics, coaches development
workshops, tickets to A’s games, on-field events and opportunities and more. The A’s
will distribute 22,000 jerseys and hats to 1,467 youth teams from 66 leagues through-
out the Bay Area in 2020.
• A’s Play Ball – The A’s Play Ball Tour, presented by Bank of America, is an opportunity
for communities to enjoy pick-up style games, skill stations and visits from A’s mascot
Stomper on select Saturdays throughout the regular season. A’s Play Ball supports Ma-
jor League Baseball’s collective initiative to encourage young people and communities
to engage in baseball and softball activities.
• Oakland RBI – In partnership with Gilead Sciences, the A’s support the Boys & Girls
Clubs of Oakland’s RBI Program. RBI, Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities, increases the
participation and interest in baseball and softball among underserved youth by lower-
ing the barrier of entry with free equipment and uniforms.

VOLUNTEERISM

The A’s Volunteer Team, presented by Delta Dental and supported by Ross Dress for Less, strives
to build a community that focuses on giving back. Through the A’s Volunteer Team, fans have the
opportunity to volunteer alongside A’s players and front office staff, earning rewards based on
the number of hours they spend volunteering.

In 2019, the A’s launched Beyond the Bases, a volunteer program for the Club’s front office staff.
The mission of this program is to create community engagement opportunities for A’s employees
that are meaningful, purposeful and help those in need. The vision of Beyond the Bases is to sup-
MISCELLANEOUS

port organizations that enhance and serve the communities in which we live and work.
The A’s are committed to volunteering 9,000 hours in the community in 2020.

Back Program, the A’s are proud to provide tickets to charitable organizations throughout the
Bay Area. The A’s Community Ticket Program works to ensure that every organization that may
not be able to afford it otherwise has a chance to experience a game as a group. Organizations
can request tickets and additional support from the A’s by visiting athletics.com/donations. In
2019, the A’s donated more than 147,000 tickets.
