The A’s reached back into their rich history and found seven no-brainer choices for their inaugural Hall of Fame class, including five players already enshrined in Cooperstown, N.Y.
And they say fame is fleeting?
Baseball Hall of Famers Rickey Henderson, Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers and Dennis Eckersley will be ushered into the A’s new hall along with Dave Stewart and original A’s owner Charlie Finley on Sept. 5.
The ceremony will take place before the A’s game that night against the New York Yankees and fans in attendance will receive an A’s Hall of Fame giveaway item.
