Athletics
7 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026) · PHA → KC1 → OAK → ATH
Across 126 seasons, the Athletics have finished a season on top seven times. All of them came by 1988, and the franchise has not topped the standings in the 38 seasons since. Their average finish is 12.7 all time, against 19.7 over the last ten seasons, a steep fall from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Jimmie Foxx in 1932, worth a 28.7 z-score. Rickey Henderson is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 7 of its 50 best seasons. One quirk worth knowing: the All-Franchise Team below fills strict positions, so Stuffy McInnis, Norm Siebern and Bing Miller all rate above somebody who made it and still missed, purely because their position ran out.
