As we previously reported, tonight in Oakland, the Oakland A's are once again presenting Green Day Fireworks Night.

To celebrate the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Major League Baseball team will shoot off fireworks set to Green Day's music at the conclusion of tonight's game. Before the game began tonight, the band was honored and Billie Joe threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Check out some photos and video courtesy of the Oakland A's Twitter account (@Athletics) below. We hope to get video of Billie Joe's first pitch soon.
