	Philadelphia Athletics (American Association) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Philadelphia Athletics were one of six charter members of the American Association, a 19th Century major league, which began play in 1882 as a rival to the National League.
		The team took its name from a previous team, the Athletic of Philadelphia, which played in the National Association from 1871 through 1875 and the National League in 1876.
		Because Philadelphia had an established NL team in the newly-renamed Philles, the second version of the Athletics died with the collapse of the American Association.

	Oakland Athletics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Athletic franchise was formed in 1901, one of eight charter members of the American League, the others being the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Americans, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Blues, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Washington Senators.
		Mack in turn persuaded Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe as well as others to invest in the team, which would be called the Philadelphia Athletics, a name used by earlier teams in the National Association, National League, and American Association.
		As a result, the Athletics went from a 99-53 (.651) won-loss record and 1st place finish in 1914, to a record of 43-109 (.283) and 8th (last) place in 1915, and then to a modern major league low winning percentange of 36-117 (.235) in 1916.

	Oakland Athletics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name "Athletic" for Philadelphia's baseball team dates back to 1860 when an amateur team, the Athletic of Philadelphia, was formed.
		The Athletic played in the National Association through 1875, becoming a charter member of the National League in 1876, but were expelled from the N.L. after one season.
		Arguably, the Athletics' biggest American League rivals in recent years have been the teams that were their old traditional rivals from decades ago in Philadelphia---the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox---if only because of the hard-fought playoff games between the teams.

		However, Connie Mack, and his Athletics would not be denied as Jack Coombs earned his 3rd complete game win of the series to give the Philadelphia Athletics their first ever World Championship.

		Since Philadelphia had a team in the NL that was already more popular, and did not have a large enough fan base to support 2 teams AL owners had no problem approving the move, and after 54 years the Philadelphia Athletics were no more.

	Oakland Athletics on Baseball Almanac
		From the White Elephants of the east coast to the green and gold of the west coast, the Athletics have had a colorful and successful run in the American League, witnessing its birth and leading its geographic expansion to the Midwest and west coast.
		Philadelphia lost the series to the New York Giants 4-1, a bitter pill to swallow since it was Giant manager John McGraw who had disparagingly labeled the Athletics as "White Elephants" when they were formed, a less-than-generous evaluation of the team and Mack's ability to manage it.
		The Athletics won three straight pennants in 1929-30-31 behind a sledgehammer of a lineup featuring Jimmie Foxx, the most prolific right hand home run hitter of his time.

		However the other owners were unwilling to let him make the move, and the Athletics are forced to stay in Kansas City, where their struggles continue during a 72-90 season in which they finished in 9th place.

		Philadelphia Base Ball Park still contained a great deal of wood in its construction, however, the drawback of which became apparent on August 6, 1894.
		The suit alleged that the Philadelphia Base Ball Club and Exhibition Company was negligent in not providing a safe passageway for patrons, and that the company further rendered itself liable by not providing a sufficient number of “special officers” at the ballpark to control the crowds.
		We further find that the Philadelphia Base Ball Club, Limited (Rogers and Reach) were responsible in not having a thorough examination made of those timbers throughout the time of their ownership, and in stating at the time of the transfer (to Potter’s group) that the buildings on the grounds were in first-class condition.

		In a year in which all circumstances conspired to favor the hitter - the ball may have been livened to enhance the game's appeal in the face of the Depression - Grove was sensational, winning twenty-eight games with an earned run average more than two runs lower than that of the league.
		The Athletics went on to win a third consecutive pennant in 1931, but as the Depression deepened and attendance continued to sink, Mack deemed it necessary to begin peddling his stars; by 1935 the club had settled at the bottom of the league.
		Six members of the Athletics' regular lineup are present: second baseman Max Bishop, shortstop Joe Boley, third baseman Dykes, outfielders Simmons and Mule Haas, and catcher Cochrane.
