Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley is back in Oakland this weekend to celebrate the renaming of Gate D at the Coliseum as Dennis Eckersley Gate.
The A's also gave away a bobblehead of Eckersley to fans in attendance on Saturday.
About two hours before first pitch, the A's tweeted a photo of the bobblehead with the caption "This Eckersley bobblehead is price-less."

Did the A's really just do that? Did they really take a veiled shot at Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price?

Eckersley and Price made headlines in July following a confrontation on the team plane. Price took exception to Eckersley's critical comments about a teammate during a Red Sox broadcast and verbally accosted the NESN analyst in front of his teammates on the plane.
