Will the Oakland Athletics ever make their logo grammatically correct?

A's implies possessive....not plural.

It is correct. The "A's" points to the family name of the original owners

It's grammatically correct to use an apostrophe for pluralising single letters.

they should have a race riot in oakland
someone would be sure to steal the apostrophe

That is correct. Also if the name of the team was written as "As", it would just look like the word "as" capitalized.

Why don't they just go original retro and drop the fricking 's

I guess the Orioles are wrong as well?
Sometimes punting is the best strategy.

Yup. Sorry OP, this one isn't going as planned

Yep

Their name is the Oakland Athletics - it's literally the same as the Baltimore orioles' situation that another poster referenced

Yes it is

It is correct to use an apostrophe to make abbreviations plural. The rampant misuse of apostrophes on this board is very annoying, though.

I've ne'er seen't...

To make single letters plural, it's correct to use an apostrophe s for that. Just saying.

So you know it is grammatically correct and are just trolling everyone?
