Back in the early 2000s, the Oakland A’s and their MLB betting fans made it to the playoffs four seasons in a row. Perhaps the biggest reason for this success was the Big Three: the starting pitchers Barry Zito, Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson. All three were back in the Bay Area this past weekend for the Bay Bridge Series. Hudson made what will likely be his second-to-last career start for the Giants, and Zito made his first start in an A’s uniform since 2006. Mulder, an analyst for ESPN, took part in the first-pitch ceremony too.

Today, Hudson is 40, Mulder is 38 and Zito is 37. They are all likely done pitching in the major leagues. However, their legacy is secure.




Even a decade later, the Big Three still resonate in the Bay Area – as they showed this past weekend.
