More About Oakland Athletics

The Athletics name is derived from the athletic clubs of the late 19th century and they are most known for their nickname 'The A's'. They have also been referred to as 'The White Elephants or just plainly 'The Elephants' which was sometimes incorporated into some of the team logos. For years the Oakland Athletics have had several rivals. Their biggest rivals, however, are most likely the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, as there has always been slight animosity between Northern and Southern California. In the 1970's the Athletics formed a strong rivalry with the Kansas City Royal team due to a lot of fan resentment over the move from Kansas City to California in 1968. The Athletics have other rivals such as the San Francisco Giants as well as the Minnesota Twins. The Oakland A's have won a total of nine World Series titles the most recent one in 1989, and have had several different players inducted into the baseball hall of fame.
