OAKLAND, Calif. -- Jon Wilhite survived a horrific car crash and three grueling months of rehabilitation to reach the Coliseum mound on Saturday. His ceremonial first pitch sailed high and true to Kurt Suzuki, the former college teammate who has become Wilhite's biggest fan.
Wilhite's appearance before the A's game against the Los Angeles Angels was the highlight of an emotional weekend for the two teams that met in Anaheim on April 9, a few hours before Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart and friends Henry Pearson and Courtney Stewart were killed by what police say was a drunk driver.
