The team went on to face the Boston Braves in the 1914 World Series, which they lost in four straight games.
After the season, Connie Mack sold the contracts of his best players to other teams due to his frustration with the Federal League. The A's subsequently posted seven consecutive last-place finishes in the American League and did not win another pennant until 1929.
