Campaneris was born in Cuba and came to the U.S. for one reason: to be a ballplayer. He was a quick, pesky little player with a fiery temper. He was a daredevil on the base paths as a member of the 1972-1974 World Champion A's.
Played For
Kansas City A's (1964-1967), Oakland A's (1968-1976), Texas Rangers (1977-1979), California Angels (1979-1981), New York Yankees (1983)
Post-Season
1971 ALCS, 1972 ALCS, 1972 World Series, 1973 ALCS, 1973 World Series, 1974 ALCS, 1974 World Series, 1975 ALCS, 1979 ALCS
Campaneris had good reason to throw that bat at Detroit's Lerrin LaGrow in the 1972 playoffs. He had a hard time getting on base in the Fall. In 37 post-season games he had a .273 OBP.
Honors
All-Star (6): 1968, 1972-1975, 1977
Feats
In his first major league game (July 23, 1964), Campy blasted two homers (that's 2.5% of his career total!). He hit the first pitch he saw in the big leagues for a home run.
On September, 9, 1965, Campaneris played all nine positions.
Strides Ahead
From 1965 to 1972, Campaneris stole 410 bases, leading the AL six times in that eight-year span. The next highest total of stolen bases during that time was 187, by Don Buford.
The Bat Throwing Incident
In Game Two of the 1972 ALCS against the Tigers, Campy was a demon. He banged out three hits, had two steals and two runs scored. Late in the contest he faced Detroit hurler Lerrin LaGrow. When LaGrow's pitch hit Campaneris in the ankle, Bert flung his bat at the hurler. A near-riot ensued as Detroit manager Billy Martin charged Campaneris. The batter and pitcher were both ejected. Bert was suspended for the remainder of the playoffs but reinstated for the World Series win over the Reds.
Old Man & Billy Ball
After three seasons with the Angels, Campaneris retired after the 1981 season at the age of 39. It was an involuntary retirement. He spent 1982 in the Mexican League and was back in the Majors in 1982 with the A's. Billy Martin used Campy as a pinch-hitter and utility infielder (and as a pinch-runner at the age of 41). The veteran responded by hitting .322 in 60 games. He retired in the off-season.
