...superstar stopper Dennis Eckersley soon joined him on the disabled list, manager Tony La Russa kept the Bay Area Bombers at the head of the pack. Now Eckersley and Canseco (who just unveiled a 900 number for fan calls) are back, joined by the sultan of swipe, base stealer Rickey Henderson, rescued from the clutches of the New York Yankees. Still, the A's must shake off the Angels if they hope to become the first team to capture successive flags since 1978.

(The new book by Veecks Owner Golenbock is looked at somewhat askance by his fellow owners. Newcomer Golenbock finished in twelfth place last season, 68 points behind Mark Starr's victorious Nova, and his lodge brothers wonder where he gets his expertise.)
