OAKLAND -- Donning green jackets, much like the one former owner Charlie Finley regularly sported, members of the A's inaugural Hall of Fame class were honored prior to Wednesday's game with the Yankees.
Inductees Rickey Henderson, Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Reggie Jackson, Dave Stewart and the late Finley and Catfish Hunter drew the pregame spotlight on a special night in Oakland.
Finley's son, Paul, and Hunter's wife, Helen, were on hand for the affair, throwing out ceremonial first pitches alongside the inductees to members of the current A's squad.
