Philadelphia Athletics Managers & Finishes


Did you know that these Philadelphia A's became the Kansas City A's (click here for their managers) in 1954 then the modern day Oakland A's (click here for their managers) in 1968? Did you know that the team started wearing uniform numbers in 1931, but Connie Mack chose not to wear one?

During the 1948 season the Philadelphia Athletics, who had an eighty-four & seventy record, had their largest attendance when 945,076 fans attended home games.

On April 20, 1927, the Philadelphia Athletics set a new team record when 32,825 fans attend an Opening Day game.
