The 1930 Philadelphia Athletics season involved the A's finishing first in the American League with a record of 102 wins and 52 losses. It was the team's second of three consecutive pennants.
During the 1930 World Series, the A's defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in six games. This was the A's final World Series championship in Philadelphia. The team did not win the World Series again until forty-two years later, in 1972, after the club moved to Oakland.
When playing the Cleveland Indians on July 25, the Athletics became the only team in Major League history to execute a triple steal twice in one game.[1]
