Game 289 - San Francisco Giants at Oakland A's

September 27 at O.Co Coliseum in Oakland, CA
CSN

With Tim Hudson and the Giants in town, Oakland spent the weekend honoring its former trio of starting pitchers (Hudson, Barry Zito and Mark Mulder). During Sunday's finale, a 5-4 Giants' win, a fan near home plate decided to honor the pitchers by displaying their jerseys.

I know Hudson & Zito are still active and Mulder hasn't pitched since 2008, but this is just ridiculous:











What is going on with that Mulder jersey?!

Two possibilities

1. It was made Sunday morning with iron-on letters/numbers, then used to clean up several spills.
2. It was balled up and used as a football in the parking lot before the game.

Pick off attempts

The situation was first and third with two outs in the fifth and the Giants leading 5-0. San Francisco pitcher Chris Heston tried to pick off Billy Butler at third.

That's Billy Ray Butler: five career steals, none of which were a straight steal of home.

Also, Butler had a 9 1/2-inch lead.
