The A's were one of the original baseball franchises opening in 1901 at Shibe Park in Philadelphia. They moved to Kansas City after the 1954 season, and then controversial owner Charlie Finley moved them to Oakland, California in 1968. They had a rich and colorful history, winning five World Series Championships before 1930, but never again till 1972, when they won three in a row. Roland "Rollie" Fingers, the man famous for the handle bar mustache style that symbolized the struggle the players had with the owner, was a key part of the team that won the Championship three years in a row.
