Outfielder Joe Rudi was ranked much higher on our Post-2005 Top 100 Angels list. The ranking took into consideration his on-field accomplishments in 4 seasons with the Angels and boosted him up a bit because of the glory associated with being the first "Big Splash" free agent signed by Gene Autry prior to the 1977 season. He represented the beginning of a decade+ of dropping green in order to pursue gold.
Our Post-2008 List is a little more about the results each player produced and, having had a nice short Angels career, Joe falls from #63 All Time to #85.

He was also known for his opportune grand slams
You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?

Nelson Briles broke Rudi's hand in June, 1977 and he was having an excellent year
until then. The SI cover had a prominent place on my bedroom corkboard (and I still have the cover on my Angels’ scrapbook).
Angels in 09!

again, i'll take the blame for a higher ranking in '05
i might’ve helped tip the scales just because of my love for the ’79 team — my first season in love with the Halos.
