The Athletics moved from Philadelphia to Kansas City starting in 1955 and played 13 seasons there. Not a single one was a winning season; the closest they came to a .500 record was a 73-81 (.474) mark in 1958. They boasted a few noteworthy players in the less notable portions of their careers (Enos Slaughter, Rocky Colavito, Roger Maris). Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter began their careers in Kansas City before arriving in the baseball consciousness in Oakland. But for the most part, the Kansas City iteration of the Athletics was notable for its lack of notoriety.
