The 6’7″ Bordi was the last player signed by A’s owner Charley Finley. He made his ML debut with the A’s in 1980 after pitching only 11 games in the minors. Traded or released six times thereafter, Bordi didn’t spend a full season in the ML until 1984 with the Cubs, then appeared in 51 games for the Yankees in 1985 and 52 games for the Orioles in 1986. He was released by the Yankees after the 1987 season and made two starts for the World Champion A’s in 1988, lasting less than eight innings total.
