FRONT OFFICE PROFILES
DAVID KAVAL
President
On Nov. 17, 2016, David Kaval was named the seventh president in the
history of the Oakland Athletics.
Kaval has implemented a number of initiatives to connect with fans
and community stakeholders, including hosting weekly office hours, par-
ticipating in town hall meetings, posting blog and Facebook Live updates
and communicating via Twitter and Instagram at @DaveKaval.
He also immediately began working on the fan experience at the Oak-
land Coliseum by making upgrades to club areas, introducing new food options and lowering
beer prices. Under Dave’s leadership, the team unveiled “Championship Plaza,” a new fan desti-
nation on the plaza outside the Coliseum, which features gourmet food trucks, seating, games
and beer stands. The team also removed the tarps on the upper deck, allowing fans to experience
the entire stadium for the first time in more than a decade.
As the team looks toward the future, Kaval has also created initiatives and programs to honor
and celebrate the team’s history, including naming the playing surface at the Coliseum “Rickey
Henderson Field,” honoring the career of Hall of Fame A’s broadcaster Bill King and hiring Hen-
derson as a special assistant and Dennis Eckersley as a special alumni assistant.
Additionally, Kaval has been vocal about the team’s commitment to Oakland and is leading
the efforts to open a new ballpark in Oakland and increase the organization’s community impact
throughout Oakland and the Bay Area.
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, Kaval has led a transformation of the organization both
on and off the pitch, elevating the stature and awareness of the club. It began with the Quakes
winning the 2012 Supporters’ Shield, which is awarded to the MLS team with the best regular
season record, and culminated in the opening of Avaya Stadium-the Quakes’ $100M privately
financed soccer stadium-on March 22, 2015.
In addition to events at Avaya Stadium, Kaval spearheaded the creation of one of the Bay Ar-
ea’s signature annual sporting events at Stanford Stadium. The Earthquakes play the LA Galaxy
every summer at Stanford in the California Clásico, an event that has sold out with 50,000 fans
for the past five years.
Kaval developed the innovative $20M naming rights partnership with Avaya, which helped
create the world’s first cloud-enabled stadium and some of the fastest WiFi speeds of any sports
venue open today.
Prior to joining the Earthquakes, Kaval found-

M.B.A. from Stanford University. He is a long-time resident of Menlo Park and lives there with his
wife and two daughters.

Chris Giles is the Chief Operating Officer for the Oakland Athletics. In
his role, Giles oversees organization-wide strategy and the daily opera-
tions for the Club’s revenue-generating functions, including sales, mar-
keting, partnerships, PR and community engagement.
Prior to joining the A’s, Giles was the head of sales and marketing for
the NFL’s On Location Experience, overseeing sales and marketing efforts
for Super Bowl LI. Through the 2015 NFL season, Giles served as the San
Francisco 49ers’ Vice President of Sales and Strategy. In this role, Giles was instrumental in the
successful launch of Levi’s Stadium, overseeing premium sales, seat license sales, major and pri-
vate events, tours, concessions and retail. Under his leadership, Levi’s Stadium quickly built a
reputation as a world-class sports and entertainment venue.
In addition to leading the suite and seat license sales efforts and achieving full sellouts for the
new stadium, Giles led the successful campaigns to bring Wrestlemania 31, the NHL Stadium
Series, the Pac-12 Football Championship, Manchester United vs. Barcelona, Major League Soccer
and numerous concerts to Levi’s Stadium in its inaugural year. He also generated over $25MM in
private event revenue and secured contracts to host the 2016 Copa America Centenario and the
prestigious College Football National Championship Game in 2019. Giles and the 49ers execu-
tive management team garnered international recognition, most notably the Sports Business
Journal 2015 Sports Facility of the Year and Venue of the Year at the 2015 Stadium Business
Awards in Barcelona, Spain.
During his time with the 49ers he also led the organization’s strategic planning and business
intelligence division, providing internal strategy and data analytics consulting and building new
businesses on behalf of the team. He spearheaded the efforts to develop and launch the Levi’s

ing sports venues across North America and around the world. He later developed the business
plan to spin off the technology, creating the company VenueNext.

ship and network advertising sales efforts and working to expand the conference membership

rights deal with Fox and ESPN and secure initial distribution agreements for the Pac-12 Network.
In the early years of his career, Giles worked as an investment banker for Banc of America Securi-
ties in New York City, focusing on mergers and acquisitions in the consumer products and retail
spaces.

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 1696-1542 (.524) record over
the last 20 years, which is the fourth-best record in the American League and eighth 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 two AL Wild Card spots (2001; 2014) during that span. His
teams have posted 90 or more wins in eight of the last 18 years. The A’s eight postseason appear-
ances since the 2000 season are sixth most among all Major League teams, trailing only New
York-AL (14), St. Louis (12), Los Angeles-NL (9), Boston (9) and Atlanta (9).
Beane has been named Major League Executive of the Year by Baseball America two times
(2002; 2013) and The Sporting News Executive of the Year twice as well (1999; 2012). 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 recently named to the Forbes list of 100
Greatest Living Business Minds.
During his tenure, A’s players have garnered numerous individual accolades. Jason Giambi and
Miguel Tejada earned American League Most Valuable Player awards in 2000 and 2002, respectively.
Barry Zito was named the American League’s Cy Young Award winner in 2002 while Bobby Crosby
(2004), Huston Street (2005) and Andrew Bailey (2009) have all won AL Rookie of the Year honors.
Beane has continually remolded a team that has posted one of the majors’ best records over
the last past decade. Over the years, his ability to acquire pivotal players 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
HEAD OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS interests, Beane was invited to speak at Rupert
FOR THE OAKLAND A’S Murdoch’s News Corp. management retreat in
Pebble Beach, Calif. in 2006, an event that fo-

10 > 2018 OAKLAND ATHLETICS MEDIA GUIDE
In 2008, Beane also collaborated with Gingrich and Sen. John Kerry in co-authoring an article
FRONT OFFICE
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.

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 Elephants,” 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 action 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” 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 traditional 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, Simmons, 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 reincor-
porated into many of the team’s promotional items and publications and is now a prominent feature on the A’s uniform.

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 2019
Bob Melvin has led the A’s to three postseason appearances and a 537-534 (.501) record
in six-plus seasons as manager of the Oakland A’s after being named interim manager, June
9, 2011. His 537 wins are fourth most in franchise history behind Connie Mack (3582), Tony
La Russa (798) and Art Howe (600). Melvin now has a mark of 1030-1042 (.497) in 14 seasons
as a Major League manager, including stints with the Seattle Mariners (2003-04) and Arizona
Diamondbacks (2005-09).
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.
Melvin was named AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of
America 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. Melvin became only the second manager in Oakland history (Tony
La Russa, 1988 and 1992) to win the award. He also became only the 14th manager in MLB
history to win the award at least twice in a career, and just the sixth manager to win the
award in both leagues.
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 last year, including 40-39 over the final 79 games. On July 29, 2017, Melvin became
the 64th manager in ML history to win 1,000 games.
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 and a one-year extension through 2019, Sept. 28, 2017. 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 76-86 finish in 2006, Melvin was named National League Manager of the Year
by the BBWAA in 2007 after guiding Arizona to a league-best 90-72 record. He also earned
NL Manager of the Year honors from The Sporting News and the Negro League Baseball
Museum’s C.I. Taylor Legacy Award. The Diamondbacks followed up their NL West title with
a second-place finish in 2008, finishing 82-80. Melvin became the winningest manager in
Arizona history that season when he earned his 304th win Aug. 14, surpassing Bob Brenly.
Melvin was relieved of his duties as D-backs manager May 8, 2009 after a 12-17 start.
Prior to being named A’s manager, Melvin had rejoined the Diamondbacks as a special
baseball advisor to President & CEO Derrick Hall in May of 2011, assisting the baseball
operations department and other business divisions of the organization. He was a
professional scout for the New York Mets in 2010.
Melvin began his managerial career in 2003, guiding the Mariners to a 93-69 record in
shattering the team record for wins by a first-year Mariners manager set by Lou Piniella in
1993 (82-80). His 93 wins also tied for the 15th-most by any rookie manager in Major League
history 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.
32 > 2018 OAKLAND ATHLETICS MEDIA GUIDE
Melvin began his coaching career as Manager Phil Garner’s bench coach from 1999-
2000, first with the Brewers in 1999 and then in 2000 with the Tigers. While with the Brewers,
he also managed the Maryvale team in the Arizona Fall League in 1999. He was inducted
into the AFL Hall of Fame in 2013. Melvin then served as Bob Brenly’s bench coach with the
D-backs from 2001-02 when the club won back-to-back NL West titles and the World Series
in 2001. Prior to 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.
2018 ATHLETICS
A 10-year Major League veteran, Melvin’s playing career included stops in Detroit
(1985), San Francisco (1986-88), Baltimore (1989-91), Kansas City (1992), Boston (1993),
the New York Yankees (1994) and the Chicago White Sox (1994). He posted a .233 batting
average with 35 home runs and 212 RBI while playing in 692 games. The former catcher
was drafted by Detroit as its first choice in the secondary phase of the 1981 January draft
and hit .220 in 41 games in his rookie season of 1985. Melvin spent the next three seasons
sharing the catching duties with Bob Brenly for the Giants, hitting a career-high 11 home
runs in 1987. After three seasons in Baltimore, he batted a career-high .314 in 32 games
with Kansas City in 1992.
Melvin graduated from Menlo-Atherton High School in Menlo Park, Calif. in 1979 and
later attended and played baseball at the University of California in Berkeley. He and his
wife, Kelley, reside in Berkeley, Calif. Their daughter, Alexi, is a graduate of the prestigious
Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute in New York.

high .325 on a team that lost to St. Louis in the National League Championship Series. He split
his final season between California and New York in 1996, ending his career as a member of the

in the seventh round of the June Draft in 1983. He enjoyed a pair of trips to the College World
Series with the Cardinal and was a member of the U.S. Collegiate All-Star Team that toured Japan
in 1982. Aldrete graduated from Monterey (Ca.) High School, lettering in baseball, basketball
and football.

REVIEW
MATT OLSON HAD 24 HOME RUNS AND
45 RBI IN 59 GAMES WITH OAKLAND.
SEASON IN REVIEW
2017 RECAP: The A’s compiled a 75-87 (.463) record, which tied for third worst in the American
League and tied for ninth worst in the majors…it was six games better than 2016 (69-93) and
seven games better than 2015 (68-94)…however, it was their third consecutive season with a los-
ing record…that marks the fifth time in Oakland history the A’s have finished under .500 in at least
three straight seasons and the first time since 2007-09…finished in last place in the AL West for
the third consecutive season…it marks the first time in Oakland history the A’s finished last in the
West three straight years…before divisional play, the A’s had three or more consecutive last place
finishes in the AL twice…finished eighth in seven straight seasons from 1915-21 and four straight
years from 1940-43…finished 26 games out of first in the West for the second consecutive season…
that is tied for the third most games out of first place in Oakland history…held sole possession
of last place in the West every day from May 30 through the end of the season…had 129 days in
sole possession of last, which is fifth most in Oakland history and the most since 2015 (142)…also
had one day tied for first, seven days in second, six days tied for second, 13 days in third, four days
tied for third, 14 days in fourth and four days tied for fourth…Oakland went 10-8 over the first 18
games through April 22, 25-40 over a 65-game stretch from April 23 to July 3 and 40-39 from July 4
through the end of the season…started the season 5-8 but a five-game winning streak gave the A’s
a 10-8 record through games of April 22 and put them in second place in the AL West, two games
out of first…the two games over .500 would be the A’s season high as they lost eight of their next
nine games…went 11-12 over the next 23 games from May 4 to 29 before losing at Cleveland on
May 30…that dropped the A’s into sole possession of last place in the West and they would remain
in that spot for the rest of the season…compiled a mark of 13-14 over a 27-game stretch from May
30 to June 27 but then went 9-17 from June 28 to July 28 to fall to 44-59…logged a 14-13 record
from July 29 to Aug. 27 but then lost a season-high eight straight games from Aug. 28 to Sept.

first place, marking the fourth time in Oakland history the A’s have trailed by 27 or more games
at any point in the season (1977, 1979, 2016)…finished the season by going 17-7 over the final 24
games…that was the best 24-game season-ending stretch by a non-playoff team since the 2004
Phillies…won a season-high seven straight from Sept. 17 to 24…were officially eliminated from the
AL West in game 137 on Sept. 4, which was the third earliest elimination by game in Oakland his-
tory (game 135 on Aug. 30, 1979; game 136 on Sept. 6, 1977)…were eliminated from the playoffs

the road record was third worst in Oakland history to the 1979 (23-58, .284) and 1977 (28-52, .350)
clubs…it was the fourth consecutive season and ninth time in the last 11 years the A’s finished with
a losing record on the road…had a winning record at home for the first time since 2014…the home
record was .210 better than the road, which tied the 1999 club for the second largest differential

(772)…led the AL in doubles (168) and extra base hits at home, ranked third in home runs and slug-
ging and fourth in runs (417)…ranked second in the AL in fewest runs on the road (322) and fourth

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.

CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITHOUT BEING NO-HIT
When the Cincinnati Reds were no-hit by the Cubs Jake Arrieta on April 21, 2016, the A’s took over the longest active streak of
consecutive games with one or more hits, a streak that reached 4,221 at the conclusion of the 2017 season. The streak is fourth
longest in American League history and would need to last another nine years before breaking the record set of 5,550 set by Kansas
City from May 16, 1973 to May 18, 2008. The last time the A’s were no-hit was July 13, 1991 when Bob Milacki, Mike Flanagan, Mark
Williamson and Gregg Olson combined to no-hit Oakland for Baltimore.

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.

Notes: The A’s blew an 11-0 lead to Kansas City on Sept. 4, 2002, but won the game 12-11 on a pinch hit, game-ending home run by Scott
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
innings, 12-11…the Athletics franchise record was set on June 17, 1936 when the Philadelphia A’s led the St. Louis Browns 13-2 entering
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
and once in the ninth for a 14-13 win.

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

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 3 games to 2 triumph over De-
troit. 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, 4 games to 3. 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 3 games
to 2. 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 ERA’s 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

1973 WORLD SERIES
The A’s win their second consecutive World Championship, winning Games 6 and 7 to defeat the
New York Mets, 4 games to 3. 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 3 games to 1. 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 bat-
ting 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 started Game 3 and kept the Dodgers off the board over
the first seven innings in a 3-2 win. Ken Holtzman was the winning pitcher in the A’s 5-2 win in
Game 4 and he also contributed 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 scored four times, highlighted by Jim Holt’s
two-run pinch hit single. Rollie Fingers clinched his series MVP honors by pitching two scoreless
innings for the save in the A’s 3-2 win in Game 5. Joe Rudi homered 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.

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 scored 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 victory in Game 3 as Dave Righetti, Ron Davis and Rich Gossage combine to blank the A’s on

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 a
run in seven innings for the win. Jose Canseco homered in the first and Dave Henderson had a
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 Dodg-
ers 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 1/3 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 clinched 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, 4 games
to 1. 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 hit 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 post season 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. Harold
Baines hits a two-run home run and Rickey Henderson a solo shot for the A’s scoring. Dave Stew-
art tosses a complete game in Game 4, but the A’s lose 2-1 as Jose Rijo and Randy Myers 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 fielders 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
Ruben Sierra adds three RBI. The series returns to Toronto for Game 6 and the Blue Jays clinch
the A.L. Pennant with a 9-2 win. Mike Moore takes the loss, allowing six runs on seven hits in 2
2/3 innings.

2000 ALDS
The A’s return to post season play for the first time since 1992 and take the eventual World
Champion 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 Her-
nandez (.375). The pitching staff compiles a 3.48 ERA led by Jim Mecir who tossed 5 1/3 shutout
innings in retiring 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 shutout
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 shutout on three
hits over the final five innings.

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
a run on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings for the win. Terrence Long becomes the sixth Athletic to
homer twice in a post-season 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
innings 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 shutout the A’s on six hits. Jorge Posada
homers 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 their 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 post season 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 post-season history a team has started the 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 post season 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 Her-
nandez 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 after failing to touch home and Miguel Tejada is tagged out between third and home after
stopping after being obstructed. The A’s lose Game 4, 5-4, after 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. Snapped 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 Hus-
ton Street allows a run in the bottom of the ninth for 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 in-
ning to give the A’s the lead for good. The series moves to Oakland for Game 3 and the A’s com-
plete 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 scored
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 shutout 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 paces 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 2 games to 0 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 trailed 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 Perez. The Royals steal seven bases, including six over the final four innings.

DURING THE SPRING
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 45-39-2 (.535) in those games, which includes 20-14 (.588) in the Coliseum, 13-18-2
(.424) at AT&T Park and 12-7 (.632) at Candlestick Park. The A’s have won 16 series, lost 12 and split 6. For the last 14 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 three three-game sweeps, with the A’s winning all three meetings in 1989 and the Giants taking all three in
2011 and 2017.

THE OAKLAND COLISEUM IN
1968 (TOP) AND NOW.
OAKLAND ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM
In addition to serving as the home for the Oakland Athletics and Oakland Raiders, the Oakland
Coliseum plays host to concerts, conventions and other large gatherings.
The A’s have used the facility to their advantage over the years, posting a 886-653 (.576) home
record over the last 19 seasons, which is fourth 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 Coliseum’s sight lines, fine weather and sizable staging areas have all contributed to its
popularity among performers, promoters and the Bay Area public.
The facility is conveniently located adjacent to I-880 with two exits (Hegenberger Road/66th
Avenue) leading directly to the complex. Along with the Oracle Arena, which is located adjacent-
ly, 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.

OAKLAND A’S IN THE COMMUNITY
One of the American League’s eight charter franchises, the Oakland Athletics are now celebrat-
ing their 50th anniversary season in Oakland. The team is proud of its rich tradition and will
continue to deliver experiences that enhance, connect, and entertain our community.
The A’s are committed to meeting the social, cultural, and educational needs of the community
and accomplish this work through the team’s community engagement initiatives and its chari-
table arm, the A’s Community Fund. A’s Community takes an innovative and dynamic approach
to support education, promote youth sports, and provide economic opportunity in order to help
make Oakland and the East Bay a more equitable and inclusive community.
SUPPORTING YOUTH EDUCATION
The A’s Community’s education initiatives focus on three areas: literacy, STEM, and workforce
development.
• Home Run Readers – Home Run Readers is a year-round literacy program that includes
in-class incentives for achieving reading goals and an online curriculum.
• Teaching STEM through the game of baseball – The A’s will provide teacher training
and in-classroom curriculum and materials to teach STEM-related education through
the game of baseball.
• Workforce Development – The Oakland A’s are focused on working with high school
and college students to provide career acceleration, student marketability, and access
to jobs through workforce development initiatives, including job shadowing opportu-
nities, job fairs, industry visits at the A’s offices, and career exposure.
YOUTH BASBEBALL AND SOFTBALL
The A’s are committed to providing youth the opportunity to learn and grow their love of baseball
and softball through the Youth Uniform Program, Fun at Bat, and baseball and softball clinics.
• Youth Uniform Program – The A’s Youth Uniform Program, presented by Black Bear
Diner, provides Bay Area youth leagues with A’s uniforms and hats. In the second year
of the program in 2017, more than 6,500 youth baseball and softball players across 20
leagues received uniforms. The program was made possible through a posthumous
donation from longtime A’s Season Ticket Member Elizabeth Ruchenski.
• Fun at Bat – The A’s, in partnership with Playworks, launched Fun At Bat in 23 elemen-
tary schools across West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) and Oakland
Unified School District (OUSD), serving 10,325 youth. Fun At Bat is a bat and ball skills
development program created for use in elementary school P.E. classes. The overarch-
ing goal of this program is to promote fun and active lifestyles for children, while also
teaching the fundamental skills of bat and ball sports.
• Clinics – In 2018, the A’s will host monthly clinics at the Coliseum, featuring baseball
instruction by members of the A’s coaching staff, alumni players, and current players.
Clinic participants will learn the fundamentals about hitting, fielding, base running,
throwing, and catching, as well as teamwork, sportsmanship, and conditioning.
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
The A’s are launching a new volunteer program in 2018 that strives to build a community that
focuses on giving back. Through the volunteer program, the A’s encourages fans to join us in
giving back to Oakland and East Bay communities. Fans will have the opportunity to volunteer
alongside our players and front office staff, and they will earn rewards based on the number
MISCELLANEOUS
of hours they spend volunteering. Rewards will include T-shirts, game tickets, field visits, and
autographed items.

COMMUNITY TICKET PROGRAM
Through a partnership with the Commissioner’s Community Initiative and MLB Players Give Back
Program, the A’s are happy to provide tickets to charitable organizations throughout the Bay
Area. Our 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.
