The 1989 Major League Baseball season saw the Oakland Athletics win their first World Series title since 1974. The American League saw the Oakland Athletics and the Toronto Blue Jays as the AL West and AL East pennant winners, respectively. Oakland dominated the entire American League with their second straight season of more than 100 wins (including postseason wins) and looked to be a future dynasty. The Blue Jays, powered by their offense, won their pennant in the final weekend of the season. The Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants stole the spotlight in the National League, but the Giants proved to be more dominant with a strong hitting presence, while the Cubs extended their streak without a World Series championship to 81 years.
