MLB: Miguel Tejada, Mark Mulder, and Tim Hudson are among those slated to attend Oakland A’s ceremony Sunday honoring the 2002 team.
OAKLAND – When A’s shortstop Nick Allen played with one of his travel ball teams as a young kid, he was given the number 10, which he kept for several more years.
Tejada, a six-time MLB All-Star, is slated to be at the Coliseum on Sunday for the A’s ceremony honoring the 2002 team that won a then-AL record 20 consecutive games. Still, Koch only had one blown save during the streak. That came in the 20th game as he gave up an RBI single to Luis Allcea with two outs in the top of the ninth, as the Royals tied the game 11-11. Of course, Koch ended up with the win after Scott Hatteberg’s solo home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning.The A’s received mostly outstanding starting pitching during the streak, as the Big Three of Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson, and Barry Zito combined to earn the wins in 11 of 20 games.
Just eight years earlier, the 1994 strike by the players wiped out the remainder of that season, plus the playoffs and the World Series both being canceled. Could it happen again?
