Oakland A's strike averted as Finley backs players
Explosive Charles Finley capitulated to the A's players and allowed Joe Rudi Rollie Fingers and Vida Blue to play after a walkout threat tied to his sale disputes with Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Fingers saved the game with 3 13 innings of relief as Oakland beat Minnesota 5 3. Sal Bando drove in three runs with two homers, while the A's defense and late pitching preserved the win amid ongoing custody and sale battles involving Finley Kuhn and the players.
