A's celebrate 2002 team that won 20 straight

OAKLAND -- Everybody in Oakland remembers the iconic image of Scott Hatteberg pumping his fist as the "20" banner unfurled from the Coliseum bleachers following the first baseman's dramatic walk-off homer that extended the 2002 A's American League-record winning streak to 20 games. Heck, they even made a movie about it.

As part of the ongoing celebrations for their 50th season in Oakland, the A's honored that 2002 team and their historic streak with a pregame ceremony before Saturday's game against the Astros, with Hatteberg, Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, Billy Koch and a host of others from that memorable team in attendance.
