Swingin' A's

Summary

The Swingin' A's was the nickname for the Oakland Athletics (A's), primarily used in reference to the Oakland teams that dominated the American League from 1971 to 1975. The A’s won three consecutive World Series championships in 1972, 1973 and 1974. They are widely recognized as being among the best teams in baseball history. The team won five consecutive American League West Division titles and three American League pennants en route to those three World titles. They were the first team to win three straight World Series since the New York Yankees won five in a row from 1949 to 1953. They and the Yankees are the only franchises to have completed a three-peat, and no team would do so again until the Yankees won three straight from 1998 to 2000.
