In preparation for a 2020 season that may or may not actually happen, I’m going through the major leagues to say some mean things about each team. This time, I’ll talk about a team that used to call Philadelphia home, and based on its current stadium situation, probably wishes it still did: The Oakland Athletics.
Brief history of the franchise
The Athletics began their existence in Philadelphia. Under the guidance of Connie Mack, they were much more successful than the other team in the city, but left for the greener(?) pastures of Kansas City in 1955.
