Billy Beane is an intriguing figure in the world of baseball. Beane has enjoyed plenty of regular season success during his tenure with the A’s, but has failed to bring a championship to the city of Oakland.
Under his leadership, the A’s have fought to stay competitive despite a rather restrictive budget. Ownership has, in prior years, forced Beane to stay creative over the years. The result has been 11 winning seasons and six division championships.
His trades are usually creative both in approach and execution. He has assembled some of the greatest teams in the history of the organization.
