BYE-BYE BERT: Angels pitcher Bert Blyleven, a graduate of Santiago High School in Garden Grove and a Villa Park resident, signed Thursday with the Minnesota Twins for the third time (C1). He’s aiming to increase his 287 career victories to the magic 300 with the team where his career began. . . . And his first pitching coach there 23 years ago wishes him well. “I’m going to be honest with you,” says Buck Rodgers, now manager of the Angels, “I’m going to be rooting for him. I’m a Bert Blyleven fan. Not only is he special as a player, but also as a person.”
