A chronicle of a three-year run where the Oakland A's were the most powerful team in baseball

In the years 1988, 1989 and 1990, the Oakland Athletics were by far the best team in baseball. They went to the World Series each year, losing in 1988 and 1990. This book is a set of brief textual captions featuring the major components of those teams surrounded by a large number of photographs. The pictures are of action and leisure, capturing the team members relaxing and performing. Truly a dynasty at the time, they have been one of the most successful teams over the last thirty years and this is a chronicle of one of the most powerful teams ever to take the field.
