On July 31, 1999, the Sacramento Bee reported that when the Oakland A's play the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, August 5th, Sacramento area rabbis whose synagogues were damaged by arson will throw the first pitch. Tickets for the game will be discounted, with plaza level seats for $8 and field level seats for $10, and $3 per specially ordered ticket will go toward rebuilding the synagogues. Marty London, cantor of Kenesset Israel Torah, is expected to sing the national anthem.
