He advised those responsible "for a very young viewer" to watch the episodes before deciding if they want to show them to a child, thus more or less changing the rating for the series.[11] Volume 3 concluded on February 13, 2016.

"Dust"
2:17
August 21, 2014 (2014-08-21)

The narrator explains Dust as four basic forms of a naturally occurring energy propellant, triggered by the Aura of humans and Faunus. It can be combined naturally or artificially to form stronger types, which Mankind harnessed for technology such as airships or androids. Only skilled and disciplined people can use it's raw form without losing control, so the most common use of Dust is in ammunition - though some still use archaic means, like weaving it into clothing or their own body. While part of everyday life, humanity has no understanding of how it came to be - or how mankind's involvement with Dust will change Remnant.

"Kingdoms"
1:57
September 18, 2014 (2014-09-18)

The narrator describes Remnant as a dangerous place for mankind, as many civilizations have grown and fallen over the years. In the present day, only four remain;Atlas in the north continent and Mistral in the east, while Vacuo and Vale share the largest continent. Protected by natural barriers and human tenacity, each kingdom has a governing council and their own individual militaries - some mandatory, some not. Outside the kingdom walls are roaming nomad tribes and small villages, but most fall to Grimm attacks. Each kingdom has a Huntsmen academy to train the next generations of Huntsmen to protect humanity from the Grimm. Described as beacons of hope and safe havens, the narrator claims they are the key to mankind's survival - as long as they stand united.

"Grimm"
3:36
October 16, 2014 (2014-10-16)

The narrator details the creatures of Grimm as a destructive force that has existed throughout most of Remnant across known history. Once believed to be evil spirits, further study revealed they continued to evolve and diversify over time like animals. They attack humans and their creations first and foremost, only conflicting with wildlife for territory. Common belief is that Grimm don't need to feed; they choose to. They are drawn to negative emotions - with numbers proportionate to how far panic spreads. Captured Grimm usually break free or die quickly and their bodies evaporate shortly after their death, making study difficult. The narrator concludes that Grimm are not mindless; while younger ones are more reckless, older ones learn from their experiences to be more cautious in the future - a natural adaptation that makes them more effective killers.

"Aura"
2:00
December 9, 2014 (2014-12-09) (DVD/Blu-ray)

The narrator explains Huntsmen are considered Remnant's greatest warriors in large part by mastering Aura; a manifestation of the life force or soul that runs through every living being - save Grimm - but which only true warriors can amplify and control. It is primarily used for defense, sheathing the wielder in a protective force field to help survive otherwise fatal blows - though their reserves deplete with each hit until exhausted, leaving them vulnerable. Aura's second main use is by projecting it into a more tangible form known as a Semblance, providing a special power unique to each wielder such as superhuman strength or telekinesis. The narrator claims that, with enough training and focus, Aura can turn a warrior into far more than a simple man or woman.

"Vytal Festival Tournament"

October 8, 2015 (2015-10-08)

Professor Ozpin explains how the multi-year Great War was ended when humanity's leaders made peace on the island of Vytal, forming new laws, traditions and the Huntsman Academies to create modern society. Among these is the Vytal Festival to celebrate the peacetime every two years, rotating between each kingdom to ensure their cultures remain open to the world. The Vytal Festival's Tournament, a keystone of the event, was designed to test the strength of the kingdom's Huntsman in a safe and friendly environment, the competition ensuring every warrior strives to be their best. As the tournament's rosters grew, the four kingdoms created the Amity Colosseum; a mobile arena that can visit any kingdom in Remnant. Ozpin notes his hopes for the established peace to continue and help humanity grow closer.

"Huntsmen"
2:36
November 21, 2015 (2015-11-21)

Ozpin describes Huntsmen and Huntresses as the best warriors in Remnant, often outranking kingdom police and military in terms of skill but with only one goal; combat the Grimm. Each kingdom established an academy after the Great War: Beacon Academy in Vale, Haven Academy in Mistral, Shade Academy in Vacuo, and Atlas Academy in Atlas (originally Mantle). They recruit the most promising graduates from primary combat schools, grouping them in teams of four to develop communication, empathy and teamwork skills. Students are separated from kingdom allegiance while in the Academy and, upon graduating, choose their work and employers, usually via mission boards; kingdom affiliation is by choice. However, Atlas Academy is an exception, scrutinized for indoctrinating a military lifestyle upon its students, pressuring enlistment in the Military's Special Units after graduation. Ozpin states that regardless of the teaching method, the end result is the same: Huntsmen and Huntresses, ready to make their own paths. Some stay in a team, others work alone - all are expected to protect and serve humanity, never succumbing to the darkness.

"Cross Continental Transmit System"
3:07
December 26, 2015 (2015-12-26)

Ozpin details the history of the Cross Continental Transmit System (CCTS), before which kingdoms could only communicate within their borders by radio or across borders with physical messages, the latter of which were always endangered by Grimm. Establishing relay satellites was impractical because spaceflight was impossible, as known Dust types lose their powers outside Remnant's atmosphere, so Atlas instead developed a series of four tower-housed wireless-signal hubs - one in each kingdom. While allowing an online web and communication accessible via handheld "scrolls", connectivity suffers the further one is from a kingdom, with attempts at smaller support towers suffering from Grimm attacks. Despite the benefits of global communication, Ozpin notes the system's fatal flaw is that losing even one of the towers will take down the entire network, describing it a poetic irony that Remnant's people must either speak as one or not speak at all.

WR8

"The Four Maidens"
7:02
January 23, 2016 (2016-01-23)

Ozpin tells the tale of the Four Maidens; An old wizard living in the woods sees a maiden, Winter, waiting outside in the snow for her sisters, falling asleep from the serenity she brings. When he wakes, he sees another maiden, Spring, also waiting for her sisters and planting seeds to create a beautiful garden. The wizard watches until he hears laughter from a third waiting maiden, Summer, who convinces the wizard to step outside and embrace the world. They prepare a feast together just as the fourth sister, Fall, arrives and asks the wizard's name when he invites her. The Wizard claims he is uninteresting and has nothing to his name despite centuries of life, but Fall remarks otherwise and convinces him he has everything he needs in life. The wizard asks why they helped him with his loneliness, with Fall's answer being they would do so for anyone. Repaying their kindness, the wizard bestows his magic upon the sisters, gifting them control over the elements of nature. The sisters promise to use their gifts to aid others and to visit their friend every year.
[Note: A shortened version of the tale of the Four Maidens was also told by Pyrrha Nikos (Vol. 3, Ch. 6)]

"Vale"

October 17, 2016 (2016-10-17)

Qrow welcomes the audience to Remnant, a world in which many towns have risen and fallen. Today, the Faunus race holds the island continent of Menagerie, but the four kingdoms (Vale, Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo) are the "sweet spots" to live in. Vale is located on the northeastern end of the largest continent, Sanus. The kingdom is protected by strong natural barriers: steep mountains in the east and shallow waters on the northwestern coast eliminate many threats and make the kingdom very well guarded. The kingdom consists of Vale, the main city after which it is named, a few smaller cities along the northwest coastline, and the small island of Patch, off the coast across from the capital. To Qrow, Patch is a nice place to raise a family, referring to Ruby and Yang growing up there. Attempts to extend the kingdom of Vale past the mountains have been colossal failures, for example the Mountain Glenn project. According to Qrow, Vale is "not half bad", as regular climate, natural barriers and serious border defences enable its citizens to live their lives instead of fighting for survival. Qrow states that Vale has known peaceful times, but its citizens have become worried after the Fall of Beacon.

WR10

"Mistral"
2:20
October 18, 2016 (2016-10-18)

Qrow explains that the landmass to the east of Sanus is the second largest continent of Remnant, Anima, on which the kingdom of Mistral is located. Mistral controls the most territory of any kingdom and is home to a wide variety of ecosystems and lifesyles. Its high society is known for fashion, architecture, and theater. The lower class "has a fame of its own": the biggest black market in Remnant is found in Mistral, a place where one can also hire thieves, assassins, and thugs. However, all inhabitants of Mistral have one thing in common: their respect for nature, especially the sea and sky. Qrow states that natural resources have had an impact on Mistral's culture and technology, starting with the first settlers who found shelter in the wind-carved cliffs, from where they expanded out into the land. A huge problem for the government of Mistral is the kingdom's sheer size, which enables a lot of traitors and thieves to hide here. While the capital is mostly under control, other cities like Windpath and Kuchinashi are harder to govern. Qrow concludes that there are a lot of places to hide, and that one has to know where to look to find certain people.

WR11

"Atlas"
3:12
October 19, 2016 (2016-10-19)

Qrow has no high opinion of most of Atlas' citizens. Atlas is the youngest and arguably most successful kingdom. Before the "Great War", it was known as Mantle, founded by settlers who, for unknown reasons, traveled to the northernmost continent, Solitas. The cold climate and large mountains protected the settlers from Grimm, but also forced them to adapt to survive. They did so by developing advanced technology faster than the rest of Remnant. The "Great War" gave Mantle another boost, as new forms of Dust application and weaponry allowed it to expand its territory, as well as Dust mining and research. The territory around the kingdom's combat school, Alsius, was used to build new facilities. After the war, the school was renamed as Atlas and took in many war veterans. New Dust technologies were used to beef up the school grounds, which expanded fast and helped secure surrounding areas. Later on, the military, labs, research facilities and residential areas moved to Atlas. The new city began to outgrow Mantle, and the decision was made to move the capital, renaming the kingdom as Atlas. According to Qrow, some people call this time "a golden age of prosperity", but to the people left in Mantle, it was "the coldest winter they ever knew."

WR12

"Vacuo"
2:58
October 20, 2016 (2016-10-20)

To Qrow, Vacuo may have had it harder than the people of Mantle. The kingdom, located at the western end of Sanus, was "a paradise" before men destroyed it, creating a barren and desolate wasteland. Vacuo was once an oasis in the surrounding desert, bursting with natural resources, geographical defenses, and the world's largest deposit of Dust. Many nomads settled there, and Vacuo began to thrive. However, the rest of the world had to adapt to survive, while Vacuo's society lived a life of complacency. Once the other kingdoms set their eyes on Vacuo's resources, nobody could stop them. Years of conflict, unrestricted mining and ecological desasters followed. Now, the "paradise" is gone: citizens live in makeshift homes, travelling frequently in response to fleeting resources or occasional Grimm attacks. A formal government was established after the "Great War", but the citizens don't care for its laws. Shade Academy is considered the only source of order. However, Vacuo still exists, and its citizens have a mutual respect for one another, following one unspoken rule: "If you can survive here, then you're welcome here." Qrow remembers that Ozpin would always say that the four kingdoms are a representation of what mankind is capable of when working together, lamenting that they would need Ozpin now.

WR13

"Between Kingdoms"
3:18
November 12, 2016 (2016-11-12T20)

Qrow explains that areas between kingdoms are mostly populated by Grimm. Trained Huntsmen and Huntresses should be fine on the road, as long as they don't encounter large packs. There are also small villages and towns throughout the land, inhabited by people who either don't want to deal with life in the kingdoms, are upset with how the kingdoms are governed, or simply prefer this lifestyle. If a town is founded by "smart" people, it can survive the same way the kingdoms do: with natural barriers and strong defenses. Frequent Grimm attacks eradicate most towns without proper defenses after about a year. Another problem are wandering bandits, groups of usually skilled fighters who also prey on convoys. These bandit tribes have a tendency to attack, raid and burn down towns which are at their weakest. Grimm attacks often occur directly after bandit attacks, or the other way around. If townsfolk lived through a bandit attack, the negative emotions caused by the fight attract Grimm. The other way around, raiders appear directly after a Grimm attack. Bandits never stay anywhere for too long because the Grimm threaten them as well. According to Qrow, almost all of Remnant has been mapped, but there are some areas from where nobody has returned alive, places where "she" (Salem) could possibly be.

WR14

"Faunus"
4:40
November 26, 2016 (2016-11-26T20)

Faunus are an important humanoid species. Every Faunus has a single animalistic trait, for example cat ears. Existing at least as long as mankind, Faunus are genetically compatible with humans. The children of a Faunus and a human will always be Faunus. According to Qrow, the history of Faunus and humans is full of conflicts. In ancient times, humans were afraid of Faunus. They avoided them, pushed them out of settlements or brutally hunted them. Humans began to outnumber Faunus at some point, and Faunus saw them as a threat. Humans often exploited Faunus, for example as cheap labor forces. A Grimm attack on a village in Sanus was a first turning point: the two races united to defend their home against their shared enemies. Another milestone was the aftermath of the "Great War": Remnant was desperate for compromises, and one of them involved the Faunus, who were awarded equal rights as citizens and received the island continent of Menagerie to govern for themselves. According to Qrow, this was still a bad deal for the Faunus. Today, Faunus live all over Remnant, but the promised fair treatment varies in quality in different regions. With a lot of Faunus packed together on Menagerie (their "safe haven"), conflicts still continue, and the Faunus are organised now - for example in the White Fang.

"Schnee Dust Company"
4:28
December 17, 2016 (2016-12-17T20)

Qrow has a negative opinion on the present day Schnee Dust Company, which has a monopoly on the extremely valuable and important Dust products in Remnant. This wasn't always the case: its founder, Nicholas Schnee, son of a Dust miner, was born in Mantle after the end of the "Great War", during the kingdom's transformative period in which it depended on others for Dust resources. Nicholas worked in the mines, went to combat school and studied. After his father's death, Nicholas used his small inheritance to fund an expedition for new Dust deposits. He was successful and founded the SDC, which became known for quality, affordability and trust. Nicholas personally oversaw every expedition and expansion. He gained the trust of his men and opened businesses in every kingdom. Nicholas was forced into early retirement, mostly because of health issues following years of working in Dust mines. A man named Jacques Gelé married Nicholas' daughter, took on the Schnee name and convinced Nicholas that he was the "right" successor. Jacques is a "cunning businessman" under whose leadership the SDC became more profitable than ever. It dominates the industry, but with questionable methods: cheap labor forces, dangerous working conditions, destroying the competition, company propaganda. In Qrow's opinion, Jacques Schnee only cares about winning, and with him in charge, the future of the once good Schnee name is uncertain.

"The Great War"
7:20
January 14, 2017 (2017-01-14T20)

The "Great War" lasted around ten years, preceded by a century full of tension. Mistral had conquered Anima and made an alliance with Mantle, based on exchanges of supplies and technology. An "incident" in Mantle led to a decree that abolished the arts and repressed self-expression, an attempt to control the citizens' emotions to reduce Grimm attacks. Mistral partly complied when Mantle tried to enforce the decree in other kingdoms. This and other issues, such as Mistral and Mantle's treatment of citizens or maintenance of slavery, caused conflicts with Vale. Mistral wanted to expand at the east coast of Sanus, clashing with settlers from Vale. The king of Vale avoided conflict, but settlers from both sides didn't: a riot turned into the first battle of the "Great War". Mantle supported Mistral and battles started in both Anima and Sanus. Grimm attacked all combatants, sometimes forcing cease-fires between the humans, necessary to deal with the monsters. Vacuo stayed neutral at first, but when Mantle and Mistral attempted to force its leaders to join their side, they supported Vale, fearing the other side's victory. The war ended with the "Vacuo campaign": Mistral and Mantle attempted to take control of Vacuo's Dust mines to cut off supplies for their enemies. The king of Vale led the forces of Vale and Vacuo into battle. Armed with crown, sword and sceptre, he decimated enemy forces. The "deadliest battle of the war" cost many lives and created the legend of the "Warrior King". In the end, everyone bowed to the king of Vale, who refused to rule over Remnant and established the treaty of Vytal instead. Territories were redistributed, slavery abolished, governments restructured. The last king of Vale founded the Huntsmen academies and gave his most trusted followers command over them. He promised to teach mankind how to fight, but only if they wouldn't fight against each other. Qrow says that mankind hasn't kept its end of the bargain.

root

text: General Tso's chicken

text: Name and origins[edit]

text: The food has been associated with Zuo Zongtang (Tso Tsung-t'ang) (1812–1885), a Qing dynasty statesman and military leader from Hunan Province. Zuo himself could not have eaten the dish as it is today,[2] and the dish is found neither in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, nor in Xiangyin County, where Zuo was born. Moreover, Zuo's descendants, who are still living in Xiangyin County, when interviewed, say that they have never heard of such a dish.[3]

tag: p

text: There are several stories concerning the origin of the dish. Eileen Yin-Fei Lo states in her book The Chinese Kitchen that the dish originates from a simple Hunan chicken dish, and that the reference to "Zongtang" was not a reference to Zuo Zongtang's given name, but rather a reference to the homonym "zongtang", meaning "ancestral meeting hall".[4] Consistent with this interpretation, the dish name is sometimes (but considerably less commonly) found in Chinese as "Zuo ancestral hall chicken". (Chung tong gai is a transliteration of "ancestral meeting hall chicken" from Cantonese; Zuǒ Zōngtáng jī is the standard name of General Tso's chicken as transliterated from Mandarin.)

text: The dish or its variants are known by a number of names, including Governor Tso's chicken, General Gao's/Gau's chicken, General Mao's chicken, General Tsao's chicken, General Tong's chicken, General Tang's chicken, General Cho's chicken, General Chai's chicken, General Joe's Chicken, T.S.O. Chicken, General Ching's chicken, General Jong's Chicken, House Chicken, or simply General's Chicken.

text: Peng Chang-kuei claim[edit]

text: Fuchsia Dunlop[1] argues that the recipe was invented by Taiwan-based Hunan cuisine chef Peng Chang-kuei,[5] [6] who had been an apprentice of Cao Jingchen (曹藎臣), a leading early 20th-century Chinese chef. Peng was the Nationalist government's banquet chef and fled with Kuomintang forces to Taiwan during the Chinese Civil War.[5] There, he continued his career as official chef until 1973, when he moved to New York to open a restaurant. That was where Peng started inventing new dishes and modifying traditional ones; one new dish, General Tso's chicken, was originally prepared without sugar, and subsequently altered to suit the tastes of "non-Hunanese people". The popularity of the dish has now led to it being "adopted" by local Hunanese chefs and food writers, perhaps as an acknowledgment of the dish's unique status, upon which the international reputation of Hunanese cuisine was largely based.[1][3] Ironically, when Peng opened a restaurant in Hunan in the 1990s introducing General Tso's chicken, the restaurant closed without success, as the locals found the dish too sweet.[3]

text: Peng's Restaurant on East 44th Street in New York City claims that it was the first restaurant in the city to serve General Tso's chicken. Since the dish (and cuisine) was new, Peng made it the house specialty in spite of the dish's commonplace ingredients.[1] A review of Peng's in 1977 mentions that their "General Tso's chicken was a stir-fried masterpiece, sizzling hot both in flavor and temperature".[7]

text: Peng died from pneumonia in November 2016 at 98 years old.[8]

text: Wang claim[edit]

text: New York's Shun Lee Palaces, East (155 E. 55th St.) and West (43 W. 65th St.) also says that it was the first restaurant to serve General Tso's chicken and that it was invented by a Chinese immigrant chef named T. T. Wang in 1972. Michael Tong, owner of New York's Shun Lee Palaces, says, "We opened the first Hunanese restaurant in the whole country, and the four dishes we offered you will see on the menu of practically every Hunanese restaurant in America today. They all copied from us."[2]

text: It has also been argued that the two stories can be somewhat reconciled in that the current General Tso's chicken recipe—where the meat is crispy fried—was introduced by Chef Wang, but as "General Ching's chicken", a name which still has trace appearances on menus on the Internet (the identity of its namesake "General Ching" is, however, unclear); whereas the name "General Tso's chicken" traces to Chef Peng, who cooked it in a different way.[3]

text: Recipes[edit]

text: Traditional basic ingredients include:

text:
Sauce: soy sauce, rice wine, rice-wine vinegar, sugar,[9] cornstarch, dried red chili peppers (whole), garlic.
Batter/breading: egg, cornstarch.
Dish: Broccoli, chicken dark meat (cubed).

tag: ul

text: Regional differences[edit]

text: The name used for the dish varies. At the United States Naval Academy, the dish is served in the main mess hall, King Hall, as "Admiral Tso's Chicken", reflecting a nautical theme.[3]

text: Outside North America, one notable establishment that serves General Tso's chicken is the Taiwanese restaurant Peng Chang-kuei, which is credited by some sources as the inventor of the dish.[5] Differences between this "original" dish and that commonly encountered in North America are that it is not sweet in flavor, the chicken is cooked with its skin, and soy sauce plays a much more prominent role.[3]

text: Nutrition[edit]

text: A typical restaurant serving of General Tso's chicken may include up to 1,300 kilocalories, 11 grams of saturated fat and 3,200 milligrams of sodium [10] as well as exceed 300 mg of cholesterol.[11] One serving will typically be about 4 oz. (approximately 100 grams) of chicken thigh meat which contains 20-30 grams of protein,[12] greater than 30% of the daily recommended niacin needs and over 15% of the recommended B6, phosphorus and zinc needs.[11]

text: Oakland Athletics

text: History[edit]

text: The history of the Athletics Major League Baseball franchise spans the period from 1901 to the present day, having begun in Philadelphia before moving to Kansas City in 1955 and then to its current home in Oakland, California, in 1968. The A's made their Bay Area debut on Wednesday, April 17, 1968, with a 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles at the Coliseum, in front of an opening-night crowd of 50,164.[3]

text: Team name[edit]

text: The Athletics' name originated in the term "Athletic Club" for local gentlemen's clubs—dates to 1860 when an amateur team, the Athletic (Club) of Philadelphia, was formed. (A famous image from that era, published in Harper's Weekly in 1866, shows the Athletic players dressed in uniforms displaying the familiar blackletter "A" on the front.) The team later turned professional through 1875, becoming a charter member of the National League in 1876, but were expelled from the N.L. after one season. A later version of the Athletics played in the American Association from 1882–1891.[4]

text: Elephant mascot[edit]

text: After New York Giants manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a "white elephant on his hands", team manager Connie Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, and presented McGraw with a stuffed toy elephant at the start of the 1905 World Series.[5] McGraw and Mack had known each other for years, and McGraw accepted it graciously. By 1909, the A's were wearing an elephant logo on their sweaters, and in 1918 it turned up on the regular uniform jersey for the first time.

text: In 1963, when the A's were located in Kansas City, then owner Charlie Finley changed the team mascot from an elephant to a Missouri mule. This is rumored to have been done by Finley in order to appeal to fans from the region who were predominantly Democrats at the time.[citation needed] (The traditional Republican Party symbol is an elephant, while the Democratic Party's symbol is a donkey.) Since 1988, the Athletics' 21st season in Oakland, an illustration of an elephant has adorned the left sleeve of the A's home and road uniforms. Beginning in the mid 1980s, the on-field costumed incarnation of the A's elephant mascot went by the name Harry Elephante.[6] In 1997, he took his current form, Stomper.[7]

text: Team uniform[edit]

text: Through the seasons, the Athletics' uniforms have usually paid homage to their amateur forebears to some extent. Until 1954, when the uniforms had "Athletics" spelled out in script across the front, the team's name never appeared on either home or road uniforms. Furthermore, neither "Philadelphia" nor the letter "P" ever appeared on the uniform or cap. The typical Philadelphia uniform had only a script "A" on the left front, and likewise the cap usually had the same "A" on it. In the early days of the American League, the standings listed the club as "Athletic" rather than "Philadelphia", in keeping with the old tradition. Eventually, the city name came to be used for the team, as with the other major league clubs.

text: After buying the team in 1960, owner Charles O. Finley introduced new road uniforms with "Kansas City" printed on them, as well as an interlocking "KC" on the cap. Upon moving to Oakland, the "A" cap emblem was restored, although in 1970 an "apostrophe-s" was added to the cap and uniform emblem to reflect the fact that Finley was in the process of officially changing the team's name to the "A's."

text: Also while in Kansas City, Finley changed the team's colors from their traditional red, white and blue to what he termed "Kelly Green, Wedding Gown White and Fort Knox Gold." It was also here that he began experimenting with dramatic uniforms to match these bright colors, such as gold sleeveless tops with green undershirts and gold pants. The innovative uniforms only increased after the team's move to Oakland, which also came at the time of the introduction of polyester pullover uniforms. During their dynasty years in the 1970s, the A's had dozens of uniform combinations with jerseys and pants in all three team colors, and in fact did not wear the traditional gray on the road, instead wearing green or gold, which helped to contribute to their nickname of "The Swingin' A's." After the team's sale to the Haas family, the team changed its primary color to a more subdued forest green and began a move back to more traditional uniforms.

text: Currently, the team wears home uniforms with "Athletics" spelled out in script writing and road uniforms with "Oakland" spelled out in script writing, with the cap logo consisting of the traditional "A" with "apostrophe-s." The home cap is green with a gold bill and white lettering, while the road cap, debuting in 2014, is all green with "A's" in white with gold trim. Regardless of road or home games, the batting helmets used are green with gold brim. However, before 2009, when the black A's helmets appeared, road helmets were green with green brim.

text: From 1994 until 2013, the A's wore green alternate jerseys with the word "Athletics" in gold. It was used on both road and home games. During the 2000s, the Athletics introduced black as one of their colors. They began wearing a black alternate jersey with "Athletics" written in green. After a brief discontinuance, the A's brought back the black jersey, this time with "Athletics" written in white with gold highlights. Commercially popular but rarely chosen as the alternate by players, in 2011 they were replaced by a new gold alternate jersey with "A's" in green on the left chest. With the exception of several road games during the 2011 season, the Athletics' gold uniforms are used as the designated home alternates. A green version of their gold alternates was introduced for the 2014 season to replace their previous green alternates. The new green alternates feature the piping, "A's" and lettering in white with gold trim.

text: In 2018, as part of the franchise's 50th anniversary since the move to Oakland, the A's wore a kelly green alternate uniform with "Oakland" in white with gold trim, and was paired with an all-kelly green cap.

text: The nickname "A's" has long been used interchangeably with "Athletics", dating to the team's early days when headline writers wanted a way to shorten the name. From 1972 through 1980, the team nickname was officially "Oakland A's", although, during that time, the Commissioner's Trophy, given out annually to the winner of baseball's World Series, still listed the team's name as the "Oakland Athletics" on the gold-plated pennant representing the Oakland franchise. According to Bill Libby's Book, Charlie O and the Angry A's, owner Charlie O. Finley banned the word "Athletics" from the club's name because he felt that name was too closely associated with former Philadelphia Athletics owner Connie Mack, and he wanted the name "Oakland A's" to become just as closely associated with him. The name also vaguely suggested the name of the old minor league Oakland Oaks, which were alternatively called the "Acorns." New owner Walter Haas restored the official name to "Athletics" in 1981, but retained the nickname "A's" for marketing purposes. At first, the word "Athletics" was restored only to the club's logo, underneath the much larger stylized-"A" that had come to represent the team since the early days. By 1987, however, the word returned, in script lettering, to the front of the team's jerseys.

text: The A's are the only MLB team to wear white cleats, both at home and on the road, another tradition dating back to the Finley ownership.

text: Stadium[edit]

text: The Oakland Alameda Coliseum—originally known as the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, and later named as Network Associates, McAfee and Overstock.com Coliseum—was built as a multi-purpose facility. Louisiana Superdome officials pursued negotiations with Athletics officials during the 1978–79 baseball offseason about moving the Athletics to the Superdome in New Orleans. The Athletics were unable to break their lease at the Coliseum, and remained in Oakland.[8]

text: After the Oakland Raiders football team moved to Los Angeles in 1982, many improvements were made to what was suddenly a baseball-only facility. The 1994 movie Angels in the Outfield was filmed in part at the Coliseum, filling in for Anaheim Stadium.

text: Then, in 1995, a deal was struck whereby the Raiders would move back to Oakland for the 1995 season. The agreement called for the expansion of the Coliseum to 63,026 seats. The bucolic view of the Oakland foothills that baseball spectators enjoyed was replaced with a jarring view of an outfield grandstand contemptuously referred to as "Mount Davis" after Raiders' owner Al Davis. Because construction was not finished by the start of the 1996 season, the Athletics were forced to play their first six-game homestand at 9,300-seat Cashman Field in Las Vegas.[9]

text: Although official capacity was stated to be 43,662 for baseball, seats were sometimes sold in Mount Davis as well, pushing "real" capacity to the area of 60,000. The ready availability of tickets on game day made season tickets a tough sell, while crowds as high as 30,000 often seemed sparse in such a venue. On December 21, 2005, the Athletics announced that seats in the Coliseum's third deck would not be sold for the 2006 season, but would instead be covered with a tarp, and that tickets would no longer be sold in Mount Davis under any circumstances. That effectively reduced capacity to 34,077, making the Coliseum the smallest stadium in Major League Baseball. Beginning in 2008, sections 316–318 were the only open third-deck sections for A's games, which brought the total capacity to 35,067 until 2017 when new team president Dave Kaval took the tarps off of the upper deck, increasing capacity to 47,170. The Athletics are the only remaining MLB team still sharing a stadium with an NFL team on a full-time basis.

text: The Athletics' Spring training facility is Hohokam Stadium, located in Mesa, Arizona. From 1982 to 2014, their spring training facility was Phoenix Municipal Stadium, located in Phoenix, Arizona.[10] Previous spring-training sites since they moved to Oakland in 1968 were Yuma and Mesa, Arizona, as well as Las Vegas, Nevada, all in the 1970s.[citation needed]

text: New stadium proposals[edit]

text: Since the mid-2000s the A's have been in talks with Oakland and other Northern California cities about building a new baseball-only stadium. One planned stadium, Cisco Field, was originally intended to be built in Fremont, California (a location that has since been abandoned). As it stands, there are no talks of moving the team to San Jose after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Athletics move.[11]

text: Staying in Oakland[edit]

text: The team has said it wants to remain in Oakland, but has yet to find a site that the A’s, the City of Oakland and landowners can agree on. The most recent failed plan would have placed a new 35,000 seat A's stadium near Laney College and the Eastlake neighborhood on the current site of the Peralta Community College District's administration buildings. The plan was announced by team president Dave Kaval in September 2017.[12] However, just three months later, college officials abruptly ended the negotiations.[13] Other proposed sites included on the waterfront at the Port of Oakland and the Coliseum site.[14]

text: Prior proposals[edit]

text: Fremont[edit]

text: After the city of Oakland failed to make any progress toward a stadium, the A's began contemplating a move to the Warm Springs district of suburban Fremont. Fremont is about 25 miles south of Oakland; many nearby residents are already a part of the current Athletics fanbase.

text: On November 7, 2006, many media sources announced the Athletics would be leaving Oakland as early as 2010 for a new stadium in Fremont, confirmed the next day by the Fremont City Council. The plan was strongly supported by Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman.[15] The team would have played in what was planned to be called Cisco Field, a 32,000-seat, baseball-only facility.[16] The proposed ballpark would have been part of a larger "ballpark village" which would have included retail and residential development. On February 24, 2009, however, Lew Wolff released an open letter regarding the end of his efforts to relocate the A's to Fremont, citing "real and threatened" delays to the project.[17] The project faced opposition from some in the community who thought the relocation of the A's to Fremont would increase traffic problems in the city and decrease property values near the ballpark site.

text: San Jose[edit]

text: In 2009, the City of San Jose attempted to open negotiations with the team regarding a move to the city. Although parcels of land south of Diridon Station would be acquired by the city as a stadium site, the San Francisco Giants' claim on Santa Clara County as part of their home territory would have to be settled before any agreement could be made.[18]

text: By 2010, San Jose was "aggressively wooing" A's owner Lew Wolff. Wolff referred to San Jose as the team's "best option", but Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said he would wait on a report on whether the team could move to the area because of the Giants conflict.[19] In September 2010, 75 Silicon Valley CEOs drafted and signed a letter to Bud Selig urging a timely approval of the move to San Jose.[20] In May 2011, San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed sent a letter to Bud Selig asking the commissioner for a timetable of when he might decide whether the A's can pursue this new ballpark, but Selig did not respond.[21]

text: Selig addressed the San Jose issue via an online town hall forum held in July 2011, saying, "Well, the latest is, I have a small committee who has really assessed that whole situation, Oakland, San Francisco, and it is complex. You talk about complex situations; they have done a terrific job. I know there are some people who think it's taken too long and I understand that. I'm willing to accept that. But you make decisions like this; I've always said, you'd better be careful. Better to get it done right than to get it done fast. But we'll make a decision that's based on logic and reason at the proper time."[22]

text: On June 18, 2013, the City of San Jose filed suit against Selig, seeking the court's ruling that Major League Baseball may not prevent the Oakland A's from moving to San Jose.[23] Wolff criticized the lawsuit, stating he did not believe business disputes should be settled through legal action.[24]

text: Most of the city's claims were dismissed in October 2013, but a U.S. District Judge ruled that San Jose could move forward with its count that MLB illegally interfered with an option agreement between the city and the A's for land. On January 15, 2015, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the claims were barred by baseball's antitrust exemption, established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1922 and upheld in 1953 and 1972. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo commented that the city would seek a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court.[25] On October 5, 2015 the United States Supreme Court rejected San Jose's bid on the Athletics.[26]

text: Rivals[edit]

text: San Francisco Giants[edit]

text: The Bay Bridge Series is the name of a series games played between (and the rivalry of) the A's and San Francisco Giants of the National League. The series takes its name from the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge which links the cities of Oakland and San Francisco. Although competitive, the regional rivalry between the A's and Giants is considered a friendly one with mostly mutual companionship between the fans, as opposed to White Sox–Cubs, or Yankees–Mets games where animosity runs high. Hats displaying both teams on the cap are sold from vendors at the games, and once in a while the teams both dress in uniforms from an historic era of their franchises.

text: The series is also occasionally referred to as the "BART Series" for the Bay Area Rapid Transit system that links Oakland to San Francisco. However, the name "BART Series" has never been popular beyond a small selection of history books and national broadcasters and has fallen out of favor. Bay Area locals almost exclusively refer to the rivalry as the "Battle of the Bay".

text: Originally, the term described a series of exhibition games played between the two clubs after the conclusion of spring training, immediately prior to the start of the regular season. It was first used to refer to the 1989 World Series in which the Athletics won their most recent championship and the first time both teams had met since they moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, it also refers to games played between the teams during the regular season since the commencement of interleague play in 1997. Through the 2017 regular season, the A's have won 59 games, and the Giants have won 55 contests: The A's have held the head-to-head edge in this inter-league matchup for the past 12 years.[27]

text: The A's also have edges on the Giants in terms of overall postseason appearances (18-11), division titles (16-8) and World Series titles (4-3) since both teams moved to the Bay Area, even though the Giants franchise moved there a decade earlier than the A's did.

text: On March 24, 2018 the Oakland A's announced that for the Sunday March 25, 2018 exhibition game against the San Francisco Giants, A's fans would be charged $30 for parking and Giants fans would be charged $50. However, the A's stated that Giants fans could receive $20 off if they shout "Go A's" at the parking gates.[28]

text: Historic rivalries[edit]

text: Philadelphia Phillies[edit]

text: The City Series was the name of a series of baseball games played between the Athletics and the Philadelphia Phillies of the National League that ran from 1903 through 1955. After the A's move to Kansas City in 1955, the City Series rivalry came to an end. The teams have since faced each other in interleague play (since its introduction in 1997) but the rivalry has effectively died in the intervening years since the A's left Philadelphia. In 2014, when the A's faced the Phillies in inter-league play at the Oakland Coliseum, the Athletics didn't bother to mark the historical connection, going so far as to have a Connie Mack promotion the day before the series while the Texas Rangers were in Oakland.[29]

text: The first City Series was held in 1883 between the Phillies and the American Association Philadelphia Athletics.[30] When the Athletics first joined the American League, the two teams played each other in a spring and fall series. No City Series was held in 1901 and 1902 due to legal warring between the National League and American League.

text: Retired numbers[edit]

text: The Athletics have retired six numbers, and honored one additional individual with the letter "A". Walter A. Haas, Jr., owner of the team from 1980 until his death in 1995, was honored by the retirement of the letter "A". Of the six players with retired numbers, five were retired for their play with the Athletics and one, 42, was universally retired by Major League Baseball when they honored the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking the color barrier. No A's player from the Philadelphia era has his number retired by the organization. Though Jackson and Hunter played small portions of their careers in Kansas City, no player that played the majority of his years in the Kansas City era has his number retired either. The A's have retired only the numbers of Hall of Fame members who played large portions of their careers in Oakland. The Athletics have all of the numbers of the Hall-of-Fame players from the Philadelphia Athletics displayed at their stadium, as well as all of the years that the Philadelphia Athletics won World Championships (1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, and 1930.)

text: Also, from 1978 to 2003 (except 1983), the Philadelphia Phillies inducted one former Athletic (and one former Phillie) each year into the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame at the then-existing Veterans Stadium. 25 Athletics have been honored. In March 2004, after Veterans Stadium was replaced by the new Citizens Bank Park, the Athletics' plaques were relocated to the Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society in Hatboro, Pennsylvania,[31][32][33] and a single plaque listing all of the A's inductees was attached to a statue of Connie Mack that is located across the street from Citizens Bank Park.[34][35]

text: Radio and television[edit]

text: As of 2011, the Athletics' flagship radio station is KGMZ 95.7 FM.[37] The current announcing team is Ken Korach and Vince Cotroneo.

text: Television coverage is exclusively on NBC Sports California. Some A's games air on an alternate feed of NBCS, called NBCS Plus, if the main channel shows a Sacramento Kings game at the same time. On TV, Glen Kuiper covers play-by-play, and Ray Fosse typically provides color commentary. Beginning in 2015, color commentary is provided during select games by Mark Mulder. Fosse also provides radio color commentary when Mulder is on TV or when the A's are televised nationally on Fox or ESPN. Additionally, Fosse covers radio play by play duties during Spring training games. It was announced in February 2014 that Shooty Babitt would join Kuiper as the color commentator for 20 games in the 2014 season[38]

text: In popular culture[edit]

text: The 2003 Michael Lewis book Moneyball chronicles the 2002 Oakland Athletics season, with a specific focus on Billy Beane's economic approach to managing the organization under significant financial constraints. Beginning in June 2003, the book remained on The New York Times Best Seller list for 18 consecutive weeks, peaking at number 2.[39][40] In 2011, Columbia Pictures released a film adaptation based on Lewis' book, which featured Brad Pitt playing the role of Beane. On September 19, 2011, the U.S. premiere of Moneyball was held at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, which featured a green carpet for attendees to walk, rather than the traditional red carpet.[41]
