Another Panner Called to Majors Fairbanks resident Bruce Robinson, a former Alaska Goldpanner, has been called up by the Oakland Athletics from the team's AAA minor league club in Vancouver of the Pacific Coast League. Robinson, a catcher, reported to the A's clubhouse on Saturday and started that night's game against the Boston Red Sox. He was activated to replace catcher Jeff Newman, who was placed on the disabled list. Robinson was Oakland's No. 1 draft choice in June of 1975 and played four seasons with the Goldpanners from 1972-1975. He makes his off-season home in Fairbanks, where he is a business partner with Joe Abel in the All Seasons Sports store. His activation by the Athletics makes Robinson the 50th Goldpanner to play in baseball's major leagues. August 18, 1978 - Daily News-Miner |
