Sal Bando, a former four-time MLB All-Star and three-time World Series champion, has died at the age of 78, the league announced.
“It is with a heavy heart the Bando family is sad to announce the passing of their husband and father, Sal,” who on Friday, January 20, lost “his battle with cancer that began over five years ago,” the Bando family said in a statement. “Sandy, Sal’s wife of 54 years, and sons, Sal Jr, Sonny, and Stef, send their love to family, friends and fans who mourn the loss of a humble and faithful man.
“‘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.” Bando then went to the Milwaukee Brewers where his career ended in 1981 and moved into a front-office role with the team. He was promoted to general manager after the 1991 season and served in that role until 1999. He was later inducted into the Brewers Wall of Honor in 2014.
