MILWAUKEE — As May arrived one year ago, where in the wide world of sports was Frank Schwindel?
He was in San Jose, California, toiling rather anonymously at the Oakland Athletics’ alternate training site. On May 1, he played in a scrimmage. Five days after that, he was in the lineup for the A’s Triple-A team in Las Vegas. He went 0-for-4 with a couple of strikeouts, in case it matters to anyone now.
