Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Oakland Athletics.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Athletics had another awful year, which turned out to be their final season in Oakland, as they will be playing in Sacramento for three years until they move to Las Vegas. There were no new entrants, but changes within the list based on the new algorithm.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a change at the top based on the new algorithm.
2. Lefty Grove
3. Eddie Plank
4. Jimmie Foxx
5. Al Simmons
You can find the entire list here.
As mentioned above, Henderson overtook Grove for the top spot based on the new calculations.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
