Plans include:

* Opening Day video and audio tribute, including a moment of silence

* "Holy Toledo" patch to be worn on the sleeve of the A's home uniform

* The radio booth will be named "The Bill King Broadcast Booth."

* The A's have also established a $2,500 scholarship to be awarded annually to a Bay Area college student majoring in broadcast journalism.

The Athletics Nation blog (http://www.astropitch.com/an/) is offering a Bill King t-shirt for sale.
