MLB Immaculate Grid Answers September 5: Which Athletics players are in the Hall of Fame?

The people’s choice for the Athletics - Hall of Fame intersection of today’s MLB Immaculate Grid seems to be Rickey Henderson. At the time of writing, 32% of participants have gone with the first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Henderson had four separate stints with the A’s. He started his major league journey in Oakland, making his debut in 1979. He spent six seasons, following which, he joined the New York Yankees in 1985.

He returned to the Athletics in 1989 for his second spell, this time spending five seasons. He played more than his part in helping the A’s secure their ninth World Series title.

He joined the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993 for a very brief spell, before returning to the A’s the following season again. He left following the 1995 season and after spells with the San Diego Padres and erstwhile Anaheim Angels, he returned to the Athletics for one last run with the franchise in 1998.

It’s a good time to recall Mike Piazza, who celebrated his 55th birthday yesterday. The Hall of Famer catcher played one season for the A’s (2007), which is enough to see him qualify as a correct answer for this intersection.
