Next year he'll probably lure Vida Blue to New York (he already tried it this year) and then will have three of the four A's starters.

On a low pitch shortstop Bert Campaneris popped up behind first base. Joe Morgan called off first baseman Tony Ferez, pulled in the ball, and threw a sizzler to catcher Johnny Bench, who tagged out the sliding Odom...
