To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. With a little more than a month until spring training camps open, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Oakland Sacramento A’s.
The A’s began life in Philadelphia in 1901, as one of the eight charter franchises of the American League, before moving to Kansas City in 1955, Oakland in 1968, and to Sacramento last year while waiting for a new stadium to be built in Las Vegas. I’ve seen 235 players don the A’s uniforms in the 35 games of theirs that I’ve attended live, including two at their former home stadium in Oakland.
