'Big Three' legacy hits home with Hudson and Zito

OAKLAND -- Tim Hudson made an observation Friday that was right on point as far as Barry Zito was concerned.

“Some of the kids in the stands right now, -- 12, 13, 14 year old kids -- they don’t really have a clue who we are," the 40-year-old Giants righty said. "But their parents probably do."

“That's true,” Zito agreed with a chuckle.

He and Hudson bounced between light-hearted humor and serious reflection during Friday’s press conference, in advance of facing each other on the mound Saturday in a Bay Bridge Series pitching matchup for the ages.
