The team was established in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics and moved to Kansas City in 1955 before settling in Oakland in 1968. The A's have won nine World Series Championships, the third-highest total of any MLB team, and have fifteen American League Pennants. They play in the American League West division of Major League Baseball (MLB). The team's home stadium is RingCentral Coliseum, which is known for its large foul territory and expansive outfield. The A's are known for their green and gold team colors and their iconic elephant logo the stomper, which dates back to the early 20th century. They have a reputation for being a small-market team with a strong focus on analytics and player development.
