1914 Philadelphia Athletics season
The 1914 Philadelphia Athletics season was a season in American baseball. It involved the A's finishing first in the American League with a record of 99 wins and 53 losses. The team went on to face the Boston Braves in the 1914 World Series, which they lost in four straight games. After the season, Connie Mack sold the contracts of his best players to other teams due to his frustration with the Federal League. The A's subsequently posted seven consecutive last-place finishes in the American League and did not win another pennant until 1929. Regular season
The franchise took a downturn in 1914. The heavily favored Athletics lost the 1914 World Series to the "Miracle" Boston Braves in a four-game sweep. Miracles often have two sides, and for a few years this "miracle" wrought disaster on the A's. Mack traded, sold or released most of the team's star players soon after, and the team fell into a lengthy slump. Season standings
