Pittsburgh Pirates at Oakland Athletics

The A's defeated the Pirates 5-0 on 1970s Turn Back the Clock night. Both teams wore flashy uniforms from the 70s, with the A's in bright yellow and green and the Pirates in black and gold. Pittsburgh even dusted off its famed pillbox caps, although their yellow ones shouldn't have had stars. The Pirates and A's were dominant teams in the 70s, combining for five World Series titles.

Oakland Athletics at Tampa Bay Rays

The Rays finally do a throwback to their own uniforms, the inaugural 1998 season. Or maybe it was the 1999 season - they apparently didn't get the caps right. The A's wore an early-to-mid 1980's dark green throwback.

From Seattle Times, June 10, 1994:

For tomorrow night's game against Oakland, the Mariners will wear uniforms of the type worn by the Rainiers during their pennant-winning year of 1955 and the Athletics will be attired in uniforms of the Oakland Oaks of the PCL. The first 20,000 fans will receive Rainier caps.
