Rich Harden and the A's open up a three-game series with the Marlins tonight at the Coliseum. The Marlins will be throwing 6 foot-9 inch, 240-pound Mark Hendrickson, who sports a 5.74 ERA. Hendrickson is one of only 11 athletes in history to play in both MLB and the NBA.
The A's are starting arguably the greatest defensive lineup combination in baseball tonight, with Rajai Davis in CF, Carlos Gonzalez in right, and Ryan Sweeney in left, and the usual stellar infield. Let's hope they can get some hits, too.
