ALBANY-COLONIE MAJOR LEAGUE LIST GROWS
"Everybody likes to win, especially the late Vince Lombardi who once said 'winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.' And I guess at his level it was. But in the minor leagues the idea, when you get down to the nitty gritty, is develop talent for the majors. The Albany-Colonie franchise has certainly done that. Four members of the 1986 A-C Yankees made the New York winter roster and a fifth traded away (Carlos Martinez) was with the Chicago White Sox. In 1986 Keith Hughes, Roberto Kelly, Logan Easley and Mitch Lyden did well enough for a look-see. Easley was traded to Pittsburgh where he was being counted on to provide help in their major league bullpen.
1986 was also a moving-up year for members of the 1985 A-C Yankee squad. Bob Tewksbury became a big league pitcher right out of spring training and posted a fine 9-5 record with an ERA of 3.31 with New York. Catcher Phil Lombardi had two stints with the big club in '86. He ended up hitting .278 for New York in 20 games with a couple of homers and showed progress not only behind the plate but in the outfield as well. Doug Drabek had a 7-8 record with New York but he too was traded to Pittsburgh during the off-season. Scotty Nielsen was 4-4 with the Yanks and he too was traded, to the Philadelphia Phillies. Brad Arnsberg pitched briefly in New York.
Still with the grads, catcher Mickey Tettleton from the Albany-Colonie A's part of the franchise, won the starting job with Oakland and hit ten homers. But his season was marred by a long nagging injury that kept him out of many games. Infielder Tim Pyznarski was the MVP of the Pacific Coast League and then made the San Diego Padres the final month, only to be traded to the Milwaukee organization. Pyznarski hit 29 homers for Albany-Colonie in 1983, a club mark that still stands (since the revival of the franchise). Relief pitcher Steve Ontiveros was a key reliever for Oakland in 1986. Infielder Luis Quinones, the first player to go from the Albany-Colonie franchise to the majors, was traded back to Oakland from San Francisco and during the off-season was traded to the Chicago Cubs for Ron Cey.
Former A's second baseman Mike Woodward also was with the Giants for much of the season and catcher Charlie O'Brien was on the Milwaukee roster. The Eastern was once called 'the gateway to the big leagues' and that seems to be still true around Heritage Park."
