Langford also pitched two games for Modesto, one in 1983 and one in 1985, probably conditioning starts after an injury layoff since Modesto is only a couple of hours from Oakland, so it wouldn't be a stretch that he wore #22 for those starts if the Modesto roster did not have a player wearing that number.

Thanks...I'm a little hesitant to say these were used in the Spring for the A's at that point...note the break in the cross of the A...that was exclusively a minor league thing for the A's at that point. I took a look at some spring training footage from '84 (see attached photo...which was clear in the video but now is blurry...but trust me) and the A connects. It's only in those old stills from the minors where this comes up - specifically the Modesto and Albany-Colonie teams. Given that I'm an hour and a half from Modesto, I figure its theirs.
Really what I need to do is find an old program or two from that era and see what's listed.
