Athletics enshrine six more members to franchise Hall of Fame.
OAKLAND — The A’s passed out six more green jackets Sunday at the Coliseum and the newest members of the team’s Hall of Fame are curious to see where the franchise is headed at the latest fork in the road.
The new class encompasses a history of A’s baseball in Oakland. Three World Series championships in 1972-73-74. A rebirth under the Walter Haas Jr. ownership and G.M. Sandy Alderson that included another championship in 1989 and a run of success under Billy Beane and manager Bob Melvin that included three American League West titles and six playoff berths.
The Athletics were a lone tenant after the Raiders moved to Los Angeles, only to see the ballpark undergo major changes with the return of the franchise in 1995. There were years of big attendance at the Coliseum when the Giants were down and playing in substandard Candlestick Park.
