THEATER
Oakland Athletics Tickets
Oakland Athletics Tickets
The Oakland Athletics play in the American League of Major League Baseball. The Athletics reside in the AL West Division and compete against division rivals the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners, and Texas Rangers. Oakland plays its home schedule at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland, California which has a seating capacity of 34,077; the A's Stadium opened in 1968. Athletics Manager Bob Geren, who completed his 1st season in 2007, finished the 2007 MLB Schedule with a 76-86 record and a 3rd place finish in the American League West. The A's were beset with injuries during the 2007 season; Rich Harden, Eric Chavez, and Huston Street all spent significant time injured during the season. P Joe Blanton and OF Jack Cust both had breakout seasons in 07. In all, the 07 season marked the first year since 1998 that the A's had less wins than losses. When healthy, the A's have enough talent both young and seasoned to contend for a division and league title.
The Oakland Athletics franchise was established in 1968, after years in Kansas City and Philadelphia. The A's have had tremendous success, winning 14 division titles, 14 pennants, and 9 World Series Championships. The Athletics won the division in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 1975, 1981, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2006. The A's won the World Series in 1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, 1930, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989. The A's have had tremendous players through its illustrious history and have retired 5 numbers in its history. The numbers include 9, Reggie Jackson; 27, James "Catfish" Hunter; 34, Rollie Fingers; and 43, Dennis Eckersley. The A's also honored former owner Walter Haas alongside the retired numbers. Owner Lewis Wolff led a team who purchased the A's in 2005 and inherited highly successful GM Billy Beane, who's been in this capacity since 1997. Beane has been credited for developing a new way to field successful teams despite having payroll constraints.
Beane intends for the 2008 season to yield better results than were had in 2007. Constantly building and shifting, Beane sent Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks for 6 players. The A's also traded 1B Nick Swisher in exchange for 3 players. The A's like to look for players who will fit their system, and have been highly successful in signing players who have been waived by other teams. Confirming Beane's approach, the Athletics are tied for 1st in the AL West with the L.A. Angels, despite $72 MIL difference in payrolls.
