Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has a lot of history with the Oakland A's and the Coliseum. He made his big-league debut here, and has come in as an opposing manager for years. On Sunday, Hinch said goodbye.
With the Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics set to play their final game of the series, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was asked about his last visit to the Oakland Coliseum. He walked around the ballpark ahead of Sunday's finale, visiting Mount Davis and pointing out Stanford to as many people as he could.
Hinch made his big-league debut on April 1 in 1998, in what he still holds as the hardest MLB debut of all time. It came with catching A's knuckleballer Tom Candiotti while also batting against Red Sox ace Pedro Martínez at the height of his powers.said of the atmosphere at the Coliseum Hinch echoed that sentiment on Sunday. "This was an unbelievably fun place to come. It's not just the kind of worn down, run down, you know, different atmosphere that people sometimes wrongfully characterize it as.
Hinch also has experience in Sacramento, playing for the River Cats when he was with the A's and the 'Cats were an affiliate of the team. He said that he wasn't terribly excited to be there at the time since he had been sent down from Oakland in 2000, and was part of the club that opened up Raley Field, now known as Sutter Health Park.
