Oakland Athletics

Green-and-gold nine

The Oakland Athletics are a Major League Baseball franchise, one of the oldest in American professional sports.

The team has moved several times—Philadelphia to Kansas City to Oakland—and in 2024 announced another relocation to Las Vegas.

The A's are known for their green and gold colors, white elephant mascot, and the "Moneyball" era of data-driven roster building under general manager Billy Beane.
