The Swingin' A's is a nickname for the Oakland Athletics (A's) Major League Baseball team, primarily used in reference to the A's team of the 1970s that dominated the American League from 1971 to 1975, won three consecutive World Series championships in 1972, 1973 and 1974, and is widely recognized as being among the best in baseball history. The team won five consecutive American League West Division titles and three American League pennants en route to their three World Series titles. They were the first team to win three consecutive World Series championships in two decades; no team other than the New York Yankees have completed a three-peat, and no team repeated as champion three times until the Yankees in 2000.
