RIP Sal Bando; Dead at 78

[Cantdoitsal]

This one really makes me feel old as I remember watching him and The A's on T.V. when I was a kid. Team Captain.

Sal Bando, Captain of Championship Oakland Athletics, Dies at 78

He was a calming presence on a volatile squad, one of the few teams in baseball history to win the World Series three years in a row.
