The Oakland Athletics are one of the few professional sports teams that has survived for more than a century and played in three different cities. The A’s began in 1901 in Philadelphia and enjoyed considerable success there as one of the top teams in the early history of baseball. Then in ’55 they moved to Kansas City, where they stayed for 13 years before heading west to Oakland in ’68. Since coming to California, the A’s have played all their home games at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum, which formerly was known as McAfee Coliseum and Network Associates Coliseum. While there is always talk and speculation about a new A’s ballpark, for now the team continues to call the Coliseum home, and even though it might not be the best ballpark in the Majors, it has helped the A’s win four World Series titles since coming to Oakland.

Much like the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central, the A’s have been a frequent visitor to the MLB playoffs despite having a fairly small bankroll and being a small market team. Since 2000, the team has won the division title five times along with a Wild Card berth. Few other teams can match that consistency over the past decade. This season has already been a special one for the A’s as Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Mother’s Day at the Coliseum. You can bet that anyone who had Oakland A’s tickets for that game will never forget the experience, and the team noted the achievement with a banner on the outfield wall. While the chances of seeing another perfect game this season are pretty long, you can bet that you’ll have a great time at an Oakland A’s game.

The highlight of the Oakland A’s baseball schedule is always the interleague games against the team from across the Bay, the San Francisco Giants. The A’s also have a strong rivalry with another in-state team, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
