Bando remained with the Brewers as a special assistant in 1982, and was so respected by Selig that he was offered the manager’s job when Rodgers was dismissed that June. Bando declined, believing he was too close with the players who had just been his teammates a year earlier.nnBut when the Brewers began to struggle late in the season, Bando did agree to GM Harry Dalton’s request to travel with the team and serve as an extra bench coach alongside manager Harvey Kuenn. Later he transitioned into a role as special assistant to Dalton and then succeeded Dalton as GM after the 1991 season, holding the job until August 1999. As GM, Bando oversaw a period of dramatic change in the economics of the game exemplified by Paul Molitor’s contentious free agent departure following Bando’s first year on the job.nnMolitor’s departure marked the beginning of the end of an era. Jim Gantner retired after 1992 and Robin Yount played one more season before calling it a career after 20 seasons with the Brewers. Aside from a good run in 1997, the ‘90s were not kind to the Brewers.nnThere was one exception, however. Bando was running the team during the successful fight to build Miller Park, the team’s new domed home which opened in 2001 and has since been renamed American Family Field. In retirement, Bando had various business ventures in the Milwaukee and Phoenix metro areas and was a longtime supporter of the Milwaukee-based charity Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.nn“It

MILWAUKEE — Sal Bando, the previous third baseman and captain of a trio of World Series-winning A’s groups within the Seventies who was the primary free agent pickup in Brewers historical past and later Brewers basic supervisor, died Friday in Oconomowoc, Wis., after a battle with most cancers, his household introduced. He was 78.

“We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Athletics Hall of Famer Sal Bando,” the A’s mentioned in an announcement. “‘Captain Sal,’ as he was affectionately known among the A’s faithful, was a four-time All-Star and led the Club to three consecutive World Series titles. Our deepest condolences are with his family, friends, and fans.”

“Captain Sal” grew up exterior Cleveland and regarded provides to play school soccer at Ohio State or Minnesota, however a pair of damaged collarbones satisfied him that taking part in baseball was a safer wager than being an choice quarterback.

The Kansas City Athletics took him within the sixth spherical of the inaugural Draft in 1965. Bando was within the Majors the next 12 months, starting an A’s tenure by which he made 4 All-Star groups and 3 times completed within the prime 5 in American League MVP balloting whereas growing a popularity because the chief of a staff that gained three straight World Series from 1972-74.

He was additional alongside in his taking part in profession when he received to the Brewers starting with the ‘77 season, however nonetheless hit 17 homers in every of his first two seasons in Milwaukee earlier than his taking part in time started to decrease in 1979. Bando remained a pressure in ‘78, when the Brewers, fortified by their additions, took a leap from 67-95 one 12 months to 93-69 the subsequent, and completed 6 1/2 video games behind the 100-win Yankees within the American League East.

“What was the welcome mat was now a legitimate contender,” Bando mentioned in 2019 because the Brewers approached the fiftieth anniversary of their transfer to Milwaukee.

News of his passing was met with disappointment by Wendy Selig-Prieb and Laurel Prieb, who ran the Brewers throughout Bando’s tenure as GM from the top of the 1991 season till 1999.

“Our hearts are broken by the passing of our Captain and our friend,” the Priebs mentioned in an announcement. “Sal was a pillar of strength who also had a huge heart. He was unwaveringly loyal and beloved by his teammates and those who worked with him when he moved into the front office. We cherish the times we had together and the many wonderful memories he leaves us with. Our hearts and prayers are with Sandy, Sal Jr., Sonny, Stef and their families.”

Said Brewers president of business operations Rick Schlesinger: “We are deeply saddened to listen to of the passing of Sal Bando. Sal impacted the group proudly for a few years as each a participant and as an govt. His addition to the staff in 1977 helped set up the primary nice period of Brewers baseball. Our heartfelt condolences exit to Sal’s family members.”

The Brewers had been scorching in pursuit of Bando within the fall of 1976, when Hank Aaron was retiring after ending his profession in Milwaukee and free company was about to revolutionize Major League Baseball. Bando was one of many first large stars obtainable on the open market, 32 years previous after a decade of excellence with the A’s.

Brewers proprietor Bud Selig, whose membership was coming off the seventh of eight straight shedding seasons to start its Milwaukee tenure, wished Bando so badly that he flew to Bando’s residence exterior Oakland to make a pitch in particular person. Selig had a wingman in scouting director Dee Fondy, who flew up from Los Angeles.

The Giants, proper throughout San Francisco Bay, had been additionally after Bando. So had been the Pirates. All of the golf equipment had been providing five-year offers, however the Giants’ was a couple of {dollars} richer, and the Pirates had been tempting as a result of they’d simply employed Chuck Tanner, who’d been Bando’s supervisor in ‘76 with the A’s.

But regardless of the Giants’ proximity and the Pirates’ familiarity, Bando selected the Brewers. He remembered making Selig and Fondy wait 24 hours or so earlier than getting their reply.

“Subconsciously, when they came to my home it put some pressure on me,” mentioned Bando. “But it made me realize how bad they wanted me to come to Milwaukee.”

“It can never be overstated the role Sal had in Brewers history, both on and off the field. I cannot emphasize that enough. When he joined us as a player, that was a big day in our history,” Selig advised former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Tom Haudricourt.

It wasn’t till later that Bando was capable of place his personal arrival into the bigger story of the Milwaukee franchise. He signed on Nov. 19, 1976, two and a half weeks earlier than the Brewers traded George Scott to the Red Sox for Cecil Cooper. In January, Milwaukee signed free agent nearer Ken Sanders. And later in 1977, the Brewers drafted Paul Molitor, traded for Mike Caldwell and Ben Oglivie and signed one other large free agent, Larry Hisle.

The items of a winner had been falling into place, despite the fact that it didn’t present up within the standings till 1978.

“Sal was a name,” Bob Uecker mentioned. “He was a world champion, right? He came here, and we were getting into an era where the club was starting to spend some money, we were starting to get some names who had done something. We’re starting to make some moves.”

The Brewers remained contenders in ‘79 and ‘80 before finally breaking through in 1981, which was split into halves because of a midseason players’ strike. Bando had slipped right into a reserve position underneath supervisor Buck Rodgers, however he received alternatives to start out the American League Division Series towards the Yankees and notched three hits in Game 2.

That postseason was the top of his taking part in profession. Bando remained with the Brewers as a particular assistant in 1982, and was so revered by Selig that he was supplied the supervisor’s job when Rodgers was dismissed that June. Bando declined, believing he was too shut with the gamers who had simply been his teammates a 12 months earlier.

But when the Brewers started to battle late within the season, Bando did comply with GM Harry Dalton’s request to journey with the staff and function an additional bench coach alongside supervisor Harvey Kuenn. Later he transitioned into a task as particular assistant to Dalton after which succeeded Dalton as GM after the 1991 season, holding the job till August 1999. As GM, Bando oversaw a interval of dramatic change within the economics of the sport exemplified by Paul Molitor’s contentious free agent departure following Bando’s first 12 months on the job.

Molitor’s departure marked the start of the top of an period. Jim Gantner retired after 1992 and Robin Yount performed yet one more season earlier than calling it a profession after 20 seasons with the Brewers. Aside from a great run in 1997, the ‘90s weren’t form to the Brewers.

There was one exception, nonetheless. Bando was working the staff throughout the profitable battle to construct Miller Park, the staff’s new domed residence which opened in 2001 and has since been renamed American Family Field. In retirement, Bando had varied business ventures within the Milwaukee and Phoenix metro areas and was a longtime supporter of the Milwaukee-based charity Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.

“It was the best decision I ever made, coming here to Milwaukee,” Bando mentioned. “I wish we could have done more, but we did the best we could under the climate we were in.”
