1977.
Bradley went from the Giants to the A's on waivers on April 8, 1976. Oakland opened its regular season the next night in Anaheim. If it wasn't already beyond improbability that Bradley managed to get into an Oakland uniform on the same day he was acquired that happened to be either the day the team broke camp, or the day after it had already done so - there's no chance the Topps Arizona/Bay Area photographer Doug McWilliams would've been in Mesa and not back in San Francisco for the Giants' opener on the 9th.
Additionally, Bradley's SABR Bio Project entry notes that he was claimed on waivers on 4/8/76 and immediately assigned to the Oakland PCL farm team in Tucson. Also his bio during his days as baseball coach at Maryland refers to him being in the Oakland organization in 1977, which would be consistent with the idea that he pitched in AAA for them in '76, went to camp in '77, and was released.
