About Bob Bower Expertise I have a lot of knowledge about the Oakland A`s during the 1970`s and early 1980`s. The "O`Finley" years as well as Bill Martin`s tenure.
Knowledge about players. If you want to know who played what position what year, I may be able to help.

Question I can't remember who played 1st base for the A's when they had Bando, Campy, Green. Can you help? Thanks
Answer Mike Epstein, (72) Mike Hagan (72&73) Jim Holt (74&75) Pat Bourgue (74) Daron Johnson (74)
Joe Rudi & Gene Tenace probably played the most at first base during the early to mid seventies(Rudi mid 70's).The players above played anywhere from 22-70 games each season, with the exception of Epstein and Hagan, who played more. Unlike the other infield positions, the A's really never had a consistent anchor at first.
There were probably a few others who played some first base, but they probably were not of any significance
