A's Bring Up Zito To Big Leagues One Last Time

The Oakland Athletics are going through a tough season. With less than a month left of baseball in Oakland, the A's have brought up their one-time ace and Cy Young winner from their early 2000's days - Barry Zito.

Zito signed a huge contract with the San Francisco Giants after being with the A's, had mediocre seasons, won a couple World Series rings and has spent the last season in the A's farm system. The promotion will likely be his last, unless he wants to spend more time in the minors next season.

Fellow starting pitcher Tim Hudson, who is now on the Giants and is in his final couple weeks of his baseball career, may play against his old buddy Zito in the Giants-A's series coming up.

We can only hope that happens, as both teams are likely out of the post season and have nothing to lose at this point.
