Anthony Banda, claimed off waivers by those Bandahording Pittsburgh Pirates.

That early 70's pop classic Banda Mold pops into my head. That's all I got.

Big role in that one game

Never got to have the Banda-na Night promotion.

How is the "Band" in Banda's last name pronounced? Like Band of Gold? Or like Bond, as in James Bond? Because I've heard it pronounced both ways and also, I missed some of his outings, which weren't many.

Gary Cohen crushed on him like nuts, continually comparing him to Anthony Recker — which, I'm sorry, no. Work out your crush without fucking with mine, OK?

Banda joins the band of ex-Mets that the Nationals are collecting as he signs a minor-league deal.

He wasn't here long enough to inspire a Band of Gold (Freda Payne) song parody. Later

Things have not changed in the 521 days since determining that Bahnd of Gold doesn't quite flow up above ^^^.

I'm amazed that a) someone remembered Anthony Banda And b) remembered (and found) the existence of a 'Memories of Anthony Banda' thread.

nymr83 Jan 05 2023 09:55 AM Re: Bandamemories

I admit i have no idea who this is.

That calendar month that Anthony was with the Mets was celebrated throughout the five boroughs. Kids laid their heads down on their pillows excitedly wondering what their new favorite lefthander would do tomorrow. You couldn't get in a cab without a driver asking you, "How about that Anthony Banda?!" You'd catch the glance of a stranger on the subway, looking up from his commuting tabloid, and rather than feeling awkward or threatened, there'd be an unstated bond between the two of you, your eyes saying, "Banda, right?" and his replying, "Oh, hell yeah." 　　Linsanity:Knicks::Bandamonium:Mets Damn, it was glorious. Like so many precious things, it was doomed to last but a short time, but what a time it was.
