The page from the 1971 Illustrated Digest of Baseball spotlights key players, emphasizing their recent performances and career highlights. Felipe Alou, now with the A’s, joined the AL after a strong NL career with the Giants and Braves, marked by leadership in hits and All-Star appearances. Sal Bando, a powerful third baseman, excelled with 51 homers in two seasons, leading in RBIs in 1970. Bert Campaneris was noted for his stolen base prowess and all-round versatility. Chuck Dobson demonstrated pitching strength with a winning streak and high victories. Frank Fernandez, a former Yankee, joined the A’s bringing a strong power presence. Jim Hunter, known as "Catfish," achieved a perfect game and consistent wins. Reggie Jackson, though slightly disappointing in 1970, remains a promising young star with a powerful 1969 season.
