Ex-A’s All-Stars Ramon Hernandez, Barry Zito return to Coliseum
Ex-A’s All-Stars Ramon Hernandez, Barry Zito return to Coliseum
“It’s great, it brings back old, great memories in this ballpark,” said Hernandez, who caught the game’s ceremonial first pitch from Zito as fans gave the former A’s players a nice round of applause.
ZIto hadn’t seen Hernandez since Zito was with the Giants and Hernandez with the Rockies and the San Francisco players were accusing Hernandez of stealing signs.
Randy Hernandez is a corner infielder, not a catcher.
Hernandez had lots of fond memories of the Oakland fans, saying, They’re good fans, they always cheer for you whether you’re doing good or doing bad.
Zito was happy to be back on a throwback jersey day with the 2000 black jerseys, which he loved.
