Tony turned 22 just before the 1968 season got underway and he is another reason why Oakland fans will be cheering one of the finest young pitching staffs in the major leagues. A tall, left-handed hurler, Tony was used primarily in relief last year. Operating as a fireman, he was credited with six saves, the second best mark on the staff. In Tony's rookie year in pro ball, he won 11 of 12 decisions. Not one to bother about the so-called "sophomore jinx," Tony compiled the lowest earned run average in the Midwest League in '65.
Bobby was the American League's leading second baseman for the 1953 season. He was in 140 games at the second sack for the Tribe and his percentage was .986. He had 802 total chances, and mis-cued only 11 of them. He has been with them since 1949. They were forced to carry him that year because of the bonus they gave him to get him away from the Mexican League. He saw little action which led to his making a classic remark, "You can't get base hits if you can't play."
