What is the "now infamous" Sal Bando video? I think all this came down when I was taking a break from collecting (and I don't collect autographs).

Incidentally, in the early 1970's my parents were at a small dinner party, maybe 8 people, with Sal Bando and my mom showed up with a half dozen baseballs stuffed in her purse. He graciously signed them, though I suspect he may have wanted to strangle her (not an uncommon sentiment). Giants fan that I am --- he was an Oakland A at the time --- it became my "street catch" ball (the one you don't mind getting torn up by the cement and asphalt when it hits the ground).
