Former pitcher Mark Mulder to join A's broadcast team

Former Oakland Athletics pitcher Mark Mulder will join Comcast SportsNet Bay Area’s baseball broadcast team as a color commentator for 20 A’s games during the upcoming season.

“Mark’s popularity with A’s fans and his deep knowledge of the game make him a perfect fit to join a broadcast team that is already one of the best in baseball,” said David Koppett, a Comcast SportsNet senior executive producer. “We’re excited to add Mark’s insight to the terrific work of Glen Kuiper and Ray Fosse.”

Mulder played nine years in the major leagues with the A’s (2000-2004) and the St. Louis Cardinals (2005-2008). In Oakland, he was a core member of the A’s “Big Three” along with Tim Hudson and Barry Zito. He led the American League with 21 wins in 2001 and was voted to the 2003 and 2004 All-Star teams. Mulder was traded to St. Louis in Dec. 2004 and was a member of the Cardinals’ 2006 World Series Championship team.
