Who controls the club
The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.
How this is measured
Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.
The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.
Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.
Who controls the clubJohn Fisher
Minority holders: Harbinger Sports Partners / Mark Cuban (minority, Jul 2026); Team61 consortium (led by former MLB pitcher Chan Ho Park) invested $70M, Jul 2026, to fund the move to Las Vegas
The club carries no city in its name: home is Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento for 2025-27, with a Las Vegas ballpark targeted for 2028. Fisher also controls the San Jose Earthquakes.

Top 12 postseason games
Highest-rated postseason games in franchise history by the site's Game Score metric, which combines hype, quality, stakes, and matchup rank. Losses can outrank routine wins because the formula scores game quality, not franchise spin.
Rating through time
Where Athletics sat against the rest of the league at the end of every season it played, from 1901 to 2026. Above average in 58 of 126 seasons.
One point per season, at the rating it finished on, with a rule at every decade. Tap or drag any year for what it started on, where it peaked and where it finished. 1500 is the league average by construction, not a chosen line. The week-by-week detail for any season is on its own season page.
Games it had least right to win
Every Athletics game ranked by the Elo win probability before first pitch. The last column is that probability; the lower it was, the bigger the upset.
