My favorite team, the one I have been rooting for for almost 40 years is tied for the best record in baseball. As of today March 28,2008 they are tied with the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.

1972 Oakland A's  -  World Series Champs

1973 Oakland A's  - World Series Champs

1974 Oakland A's - World Series Champs

I am looking forward to the start of the 2008 season even though all the experts pick the A's to finish at or near the bottom.  I think the A's may surprise a few people this year, and at the very least they will be entertaining.

UPDATE: While the A's may not have the best record in baseball any longer they are still in first place. As of today April 23,2008 they are tied with the Angels atop the division. It's going to be a fun year.
