Oakland Athletics

  Today my blog is going to be about the Oakland Athletics. The Oakland Athletics are a professional baseball team that is based in Oakland, California.  The Athletics play all of their home games at O.co Coliseum.  They share this stadium with the Oakland Raiders.  The Raiders are the professional football team that is based in Oakland.  The Athletics have won 9 World Series.  They didn't always play in Oakland.  They were founded in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics.  They played in Philadelphia until 1955, when they became the Kansas City Athletics.  Then in 1968, they moved to Oakland.  Currently, their mascot is an elephant.  Their team colors are green, gold, and white.  The Athletics have retired a few numbers.  These numbers are 9, 24, 27, 34, 43, and 42.  I hope you enjoyed my blog today about the Oakland Athletics.
