Signed and Matted Sport Magazine Photo of Sal Bando.During the 1980's and 90's I attended many baseball card shows and obtained autographs in person. I would also mail out directly to a players house or a personal signing. This is an actual Sport Magazine photo from the 1960's with a perfect sharpie signature. I obtained this in person at a Chicago baseball card show in the 90's. These photos are all nicley double-matted and shrink-wrapped with foam and are ready for framing at 11 X 14.
Salvatore Leonard Bando (born February 13, 1944, in Cleveland, Ohio) is a former third baseman and executive in professional baseball who played for the Kansas City and Oakland Athletics (1966–76) and Milwaukee Brewers (1977–81). He batted and threw right-handed. He played college baseball at Arizona State for coach Bobby Winkles. During the A's championship years of 1971-75, he captained the team and led the club in runs batted in three times. He was the second American League third baseman to hit 200 career home runs, joining Brooks Robinson, and retired among the all-time leaders in games (5th, 1896), assists (6th, 3720) and double plays (7th, 345) at his position. In a 16-season career, Bando was a .254 hitter with 242 home runs and 1039 RBI in 2019 games played. His brother Chris was a catcher for the Cleveland Indians. Over four consecutive American League Championship Series from 1971–74, he hit five home runs in 17 games, including two in a 1973 game and a solo shot in Game 3 of the 1974 ALCS, a 1-0 victory. Playing almost exclusively at third base in Oakland, Bando played every infield position while with the Brewers, even making one appearance as a relief pitcher in a 1979 game.
