PROFILE |
 |
The Athletics Investment Group makes sure Oakland gets all A's. Partners Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann own the Oakland Athletics, or the A's, as they're better known. A team of extremes (it has won 15 American League pennants and finished dead last 26 times), the A's have resided in three cities: Philadelphia (1901-54), Kansas City (1955-67), and Oakland (1968-present). Nine of its pennants have turned into World Series championships, the last in 1989. A young A's team with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball won the American League West in 2000, led by MVP Jason Giambi. Like all teams playing in older facilities, the A's want a new ballpark and are looking at Santa Clara County as a possible location.
