Bando
From Page 1
he played in 155 games and the
two years before that in all 162.
Sal prides himself on being an
ironman of sorts.
“Heck, you wait around to
get a chance to play in the ma-
jors,” he said, “so when the
opportunity comes you have to
play in as many games as you
can.”
Bando leads the runaway
A’s in RBI (86) and walks (69).
That all adds up to quite a
player and some of the com-
ments you hear about him from
rival teams, especially pitchers,
give you a pretty good idea
how highly he is regarded in
the A.L.
Mel Stottlemyre and Steve
Kline of the Yankees said they
found little trouble pitching
against the Oakland club with
Bando on the sidelines.
“When he’s not in the mid-
dle of that lineup,” said Kline,
one of those refreshingly can-
did young pitchers, “You can
pitch around Jackson and the
rest is not as tough. To me,
Bando means as much to the
A’s as Powell does to the Ori-
oles. Both can kill you in a
tough spot.”
“Of course, I was pitching
against Blue the other day,”
said Stottlemyre, the veteran
righthander, “and I was up for
the game. But as I reflect on it,
I’m glad Bando was not in the
lineup.”
Gary Peters, the Boston Red
Sox veteran also faced the A’s
and Blue a week ago, and while
he handled Bando without inci-
dent, he said that Sal was the
only guy in the Oakland lineup
he was worried about.
Some of their other long ball
threats can be struck out,” said
Peters, “but not Bando. He gets
the bat on the ball all the time. I

did tip my hat.”
Traynor’s salary in 1920, his
first season with the Pirates
was $4,000. He got a $2,200
bonus for signing a contract.
“It was enough,” Traynor
says. “I never asked for a raise.
In fact from 1929 through
1938, I made $14,000 a year,

worry more about him than
anyone else in their lineup.”
Chuck Tanner, the White
Sox manager, and Dave Bris-
tol, the Brewers skipper say
virtually the same thing. Both
agree that if you stop Bando,
and Jackson to a lesser degree
you beat the A’s easily.
Sal, now in his fourth full
season in the majors, is no
slouch in the field either. Were
it not for Brooks Robinson of
the Orioles, Bando would rate
as the A.L.’s best third base-
man.
There are some who think
he isn’t all that far behind
Robinson in the field and, with
his more potent bat, rates
ahead of Brooks on all-around
performance.
“You aren’t going to catch
me saying anything against
Brooks Robinson,” says Wil-
liams. “He’s way out there as
a fielder. My man, though, is
about as complete an all-
around player as there is in our
league. One thing about him
you don’t see in the statistics
is the way he runs the bases.
There are faster guys on our
club, but no one runs the bases
the way Sal does.”
You get the feeling that
maybe Bando should rate
strong consideration for Most
Valuable Player this year,
since he obviously is the A’s
best day-in-day-out player and
the one most think the A’s can
least afford to play without.
How about that Sal?
“Really, I’m flattered,” he
says of the MVP talks, “but I
don’t think I should make a
comment. That’s for other
people to decide.”
It is, but don’t be surprised
if Bando draws a lot of MVP
support. Clearly he’s the best
player on the A’s, who are
about to clinch the A.L. West.
