The Athletics are a professional Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise originally founded in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics. The team relocated to Kansas City in 1954 before moving to Oakland in 1968, where they played for 57 seasons. After the 2024 season, the Athletics left Oakland and now play at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, with a permanent move to Las Vegas planned for 2028. They compete in the American League West Division and are known for their distinctive green and gold colors. The franchise has won nine World Series titles and 15 AL pennants, including a 1970s dynasty led by Reggie Jackson and the 1989 championship team featuring Rickey Henderson. They gained widespread attention with the "Moneyball" strategy, pioneering statistical analysis to identify undervalued players. The Athletics remain one of baseball's most storied and innovative franchises.
