Top 100 Angels: Bert BLYLEVEN #85

A no-brainer for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Bert Blyleven pitched well for the Pirates and Twins before coming to Anaheim and having one of the best seasons (1989) by a pitcher to ever don the halo.

Bert was a Post-2005 Top 100 Angel. Read about his contributions to franchise lore there with a short guest essay written by Baseball Analysts Editor Rich Lederer.

The link for Bert “Be home bye Eleven” Blyleven is taking us to Alex Johnson.

Blyleven also pitched well in the years he played at the mistake by the lake. Those were some bad teams yet he still managed to post very good numbers in spite of the team he was surrounded with.

Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee

fixed that - thanks for the edit.

If Bert had been a Yankee they would have renamed the empire state building after him.
