The Oakland Athletics' 1988 season involved the A's winning their first American League West title since 1981, with a record of 104 wins and 58 losses. In 1988, the elephant was restored as the symbol of the Athletics and currently adorns the left sleeve of home and road uniforms. The elephant was retired as team mascot in 1963 by then-owner Charles O. Finley in favor of a Missouri mule. The A's defeated the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS, but lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games, including a dramatic, classic walk-off home run by the Dodgers' Kirk Gibson in game one. 1988 was the first of 3 straight years the A's would represent the AL in the World Series ==Offseason== * October 12, 1987: Brian Harper was released by the Athletics.〔(Brian Harper page at Baseball Reference )〕 * October 12, 1987: Jerry Willard was released by the Athletics.〔(Jerry Willard page at Baseball Reference )〕 * December 6, 1987: Ron Hassey was signed as a free agent by the Athletics.〔(Ron Hassey page at Baseball Reference )〕 * December 7, 1987: Gary Lavelle was signed as a free agent by the Athletics.〔(Gary Lavelle page at Baseball Reference )〕 * December 8, 1987: José Rijo and Tim Birtsas were traded by the Athletics to the Cincinnati Reds for Dave Parker.〔(Dave Parker page at Baseball Reference )〕 * December 11, 1987: Alfredo Griffin and Jay Howell were traded by the Athletics to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Kevin Tapani and Wally Whitehurst were traded by the Athletics to the New York Mets as part of a three-team trade.
