Rickey Henderson, who received the most fan votes, was honored with the playing surface being renamed ‘Rickey Henderson Field,’ while the famous ‘Big Three’ pitching rotation of Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, and Barry Zito reunited on the field.

The 50 players honored that night collectively earned 7 MVP Awards, 5 Cy Young Awards, 81 All-Star selections, and 50 World Series rings as Oakland Athletics, representing the incredible legacy this fitted celebrates. The brown script design pays homage to the team’s classic look while the anniversary patch serves as a permanent reminder of that magical night when past and present came together at the Coliseum.
