How to play the Athletics roster timeline

Athletics players are on every card, and you put them in order of the year each one joined the franchise. A single player starts on the line with his year in view. Each card you draw shows a name and a position like third baseman or relief pitcher, and you choose where he belongs. Pick the right gap and the year appears; pick the wrong one and he still lands in his true place, costing you one of three lives.

The Athletics have called Philadelphia, Kansas City and Oakland home, and this deck follows them through each of those stops. The early Philadelphia teams are crowded with the franchise's first great players, and later stretches move through several distinct dynasties. Because the club often broke up its winners, many players had short stays. Relievers who became stars in green and gold are easy to misplace.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
