History

World Series won

9

1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, 1930, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1989.

Key moments

  • Won three straight World Series from 1972 to 1974, the only club other than the Yankees to manage it.
  • The 2002 "Moneyball" team won 20 straight games and changed how every club in the sport values players.

Controversy

  • Left Oakland after 57 years and is playing in a minor league park in Sacramento until a Las Vegas stadium is built, having run one of the sport's lowest payrolls while collecting revenue sharing.
