Power, Speed, Defense and Championships
In the time I’ve been writing for Swingin’ A’s, this has to be one of the easiest Top-whatevers I’ve had to come up with. Over their 48 seasons, the A’s have been blessed with talented, often times great, frequently power hitting players to patrol the right field pasture of the Oakland Coliseum. All five were able to hit with power, have speed, and play above average defensively
Interestingly, all five of these guys were key players in their teams reaching the postseason with a pair of these players being able to take the Athletics past the first round of playoffs and all the way to AL Pennants and World Championships.
