Lindblad was a useful AL lefthander for 14 seasons, working mainly in middle relief. Although he never won more than nine games in a single season, he had 64 career saves in addition to his 68 wins (61 in relief). He received credit for the win in the Athletics’ third-game, 11-inning World Series victory in ’73 by working two scoreless innings. A strong fielder, he set a record by going from 1966 through 1974 (385 appearances) without making a single error.
