Zito to start vs Hudson Saturday; A's to honor 'Big Three' Sunday

Former teammates Barry Zito and Tim Hudson will go head to head when the Giants visit the A's this weekend, Oakland manager Bob Melvin announced on Tuesday.

A day later, the A’s will honor the careers of the famed “Big Three” pitching trio -- Zito, Hudson, and Mark Mulder -- prior to the A’s vs. Giants game on Sunday.

The ceremony will begin approximately 15 minutes prior to the scheduled 1:05pm start time, and will include a video tribute and a special presentation from A’s Special Assistant to the General Manager Grady Fuson, who was the A’s scouting director when the three pitchers were drafted in the late 1990s.
