A winning tradition

The Warriors have elite company when it comes to championship runs. Here’s a look at the Bay Area’s best in class: San Francisco 49ers: Between 1981 and ’98, they played in five Super Bowls and won them all. Only two were consecutive (following the 1988 and ’89 seasons). Under three coaches — Bill Walsh, George Seifert and Steve Mariucci — the 49ers were an NFL powerhouse throughout the entire 18 years, winning at least 10 games every season (with the exception of 1982, when a labor crisis shortened the schedule to nine games). Oakland Raiders: Under the command of owner Al Davis, the Raiders won an astounding 81 percent of their games (11928, excluding ties) over an 11-year stretch, 1967-77. They won one Super Bowl, after the ’76 season, and although their run of remarkable consistency was interrupted, they won two more Super Bowls in 1980 and (after moving to Los Angeles) 1983.

San Francisco Giants: After going without a championship since they moved to San Francisco in 1958, the Giants reeled off titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014 under manager Bruce Bochy.

Oakland Athletics: Fueled by the likes of Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Joe Rudi and Rollie Fingers, they won three consecutive World Series (197274). Over the game’s long history, only the storied New York Yankees were able to do that — 1998-2000, plus two runs of four straight titles (1936-39 and 1949-53).
