    Manny Mota retired in 82, but I think his greatest achievement was somehow pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon.

    we have a winner!

    amazing to me how overlooked Rudi has been in the historical context of those A's teams that won three titles in a row. He finished second in the MVP voting in the bookend years, '72 and '74. But if you asked most baseball fans to name members of that team, how many other players would be named first?

    Reggie, Catfish, Rollie, Sal Bando, Tenace, Vida Blue.
