For one final time, the A’s Big Three of Barry Zito, Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder came back together at the Coliseum on Sept. 27, 2015. None of the three actually pitched that day, though Zito and Hudson did the day before. Instead the reunion was a celebration with a ceremonial first pitch before the A’s took on the Giants as the careers of Zito and Hudson were coming to an end after the ’15 season.
Mulder faced a barrage of injuries at the end of his career and he last pitched in the majors in 2008 with the Cardinals.
