The Oakland Athletics' 1987 season involved the A's finishing 3rd in the American League West with a record of 81 wins and 81 losses. Mark McGwire set a rookie record by hitting 49 home runs.〔Great Baseball Feats, Facts and Figures, 2008 Edition, p.344, David Nemec and Scott Flatow, A Signet Book, Penguin Group, New York, NY, ISBN 978-0-451-22363-0〕 At the beginning of the season, the word "Athletics" returned, in script lettering, to the front of the team's jerseys. Former A’s owner, Charles O. Finley banned the word "Athletics" from the club's name in the past because he felt that name was too closely associated with former Philadelphia Athletics owner Connie Mack. In his first full Major League season, Mark McGwire hit 49 home runs, a single-season record for a rookie; he was named the American League Rookie of the Year. McGwire would be the first American League rookie since Al Rosen of the Cleveland Indians in 1950 to lead the American League in home runs.〔Great Baseball Feats, Facts and Figures, 2008 Edition, p.346, David Nemec and Scott Flatow, A Signet Book, Penguin Group, New York, NY, ISBN 978-0-451-22363-0〕 The 1987 season also saw the return of Reggie Jackson to Oakland. ==Offseason== * December 11, 1986: Donnie Hill was traded by the Athletics to the Chicago White Sox for Gene Nelson and Bruce Tanner.〔(Donnie Hill page at Baseball Reference )〕 * January 20, 1987: Vida Blue was signed as a free agent by the Athletics.〔(Vida Blue page at Baseball Reference )〕 * January 22, 1987: Jim Eppard was purchased from the Athletics by the California Angels.〔(Jim Eppard page at Baseball Reference )〕 * February 6, 1987: Johnnie LeMaster was signed as a Free Agent with the Oakland Athletics.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lemasjo01.shtml〕 * February 23, 1987: Jeff Kaiser was traded by the Athletics to the Cleveland Indians for Curt Wardle.〔(Jeff Kaiser page at Baseball Reference )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1987 Oakland Athletics season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
