Then it's on to Santa Cruz for the prestigious Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Country Club. Brannan also won there a year ago in a tournament where only four of the six scores count.

"I'll never forget them as long as 1 live," Fosse recalled while getting ready as the starting catcher in a recent exhibition game. "Those years with the A's were what players dream about. We felt as if we could win any time we wanted to, and we often did, but more important than that was the team had a character all of its own." Fosse, of course, was referring to the A's team which won the World Series in 1972 (over the invincible Cincinnati Reds), 1973 (over the New York Mets) and pitcher-ric- h 1974 lover a Los Angeles Dodgers team some people were saying would win four in a row.) "We handled them all, and we had a lot of fun doing it, too," Fosse said. "Sure, we had a few fights in the clubhouse and we hated the owner (Charlie Finley), but when we walked between those two white lines, we played as a team. Professional pride poured from our veins and we did what we had to do." That great A's team, which also included Catfish Hunter, Ken Holtzman, Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers. Jim Todd, and Paul Lindblad among the pitchers, Gene Tenace at first and behind the plate, first Dick Green and then Phil Garner at second, Bert Campaneris at short.

North and Claudell Washington, who came up in time to play in 1974, are left, and Fosse says it's a sad day indeed for the Oakland fans in particular and baseball in general. "Had nothing happened," Fosse says, "there is no telling how many more pennnants and world championships the A's would have won. They could have set records which may never have been broken. I think you have to go all the way back to the early 1950s and the New York Yankees to find a team that had as much talent as the A's team. "The Reds are an outstanding team. They showed that last year the way they cleaned up the Yankees, but as good as they are I don't think they are better than the A's team that won three in a row. Heck, the A's beat virtually the same Cincinnati team in 1972, didn't they, and when everyone was predicting the Reds would wipe them d busted their tails to help each other on the field. No one ever thought first of himself. We went on the field as a team and we played the same w'ay, all nine innings of every single day. We played for two entirely different managers (Dick Williams in clubhouse 72-7- 3 and Alvin Dark in 1974 and won, and that in itself says something for the ) team." Fosse is a product of the Cleveland organization, so he has a warm spot in his heart for the Indians, and he always will. He was unhappy when Cleveland traded him to Oakland but he got over that once the A's started winning and he became a solid part of the team. But when Oakland dealt him back to Cleveland, he wasn't at all unhappy. He had fallen into Finley's doghouse after asking for a raise. Fosse hit only .196 in play-by-pla- begins.
