2009 Oakland Athletics MLB Preview:
There is much reason for hope for the Oakland Athletics heading into the 2009 season. Oakland has a strong, young nucleus of players that could easily come together to make a run at the AL West Division. Players like Bobby Crosby and Orlando Cabrera are major contributors for the A's. Add to them new acquisitions Matt Holliday and Jason Giambi, and you start to see the huge potential of this Athletics team. If Oakland can overcome the loss of bullpen ace Huston Street and get amazing play from their key players, then pencil them in as contenders in the AL.

The Oakland Athletics play baseball in the West Division of Major League Baseball's American League. The A's franchise was first founded in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics. The team would win 5 World Series titles before moving to Kansas City in 1955. The team struggled mightily there and was moved to Oakland in 1968. The early '70s and late '80s would see the Athletics win 4 World Series. GM Billy Beane has found success in his novel way of evaluating player talents by using statistics often overlooked by other scouts and thus getting players for cheap that provide the team with wins. Some of the great players to wear the A's uniform in Oakland include Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, and Don Sutton.

The Oakland Athletics play their home games at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, more commonly known as Oakland Coliseum. The stadium has been home to the A's since they moved to Oakland in 1968. The A's plan to open a new stadium in 2011. A home game in Oakland is an experience no baseball fan should miss. Buy Oakland Athletics tickets today and don't miss any of the action!
