Major League Baseball team season
The
Oakland Athletics
' 1982 season
involved the A's finishing fifth in the
American League West
with a record of 68 wins and 94 losses.
The 1982 Athletics are remembered mainly for the exploits of star left fielder
Rickey Henderson
. Henderson, in his fourth major league season, stole an MLB-record 130 bases over the course of the year. Henderson broke the record, previously held by
Lou Brock
, by swiping his 119th base of the season on August 27 against the
Milwaukee Brewers
. Henderson's record has not been approached since.
The season also marked the end of manager
Billy Martin
's tenure with the Athletics. Martin was unceremoniously fired at season's end, despite having led the A's to the
ALCS
only one season prior. He was replaced by
Steve Boros
.
