The Oakland A’s played their final game at The Coliseum on Thursday ahead of the team’s move to Las Vegas.
In honor of the historic farewell, the A’s brought back a franchise great and fan favorite to sing the national anthem.
Former Oakland pitcher Barry Zito returned to where he started his MLB career to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” for all the A’s fans in attendance.
This was such a special moment for the franchise, as Zito was one of the best arms to ever come through Oakland and did a pretty solid, if … pitchy … job on the mic.
It’s bittersweet to see a franchise great return to send off The Coliseum, and Zito did the A’s proud with this national anthem performance.
