All former MVP winners.

I was uncool before uncool was cool.

Yep

That’s the famous pic of “The Four MVPs”. All of whom were on the 1982 Angels.

Nitpicking for the day: 300th = 3,000th career hit for the man with the smokin' headband

Awesome pic, though. This takes me back to when I first became a Halo fan at the tender age of 5; it was love at first sight.

Thanks for the post, Miss Yothers.

The 1982 Angels team was one of my all-time favorites

That lineup knew something about generating offense. Here’s how the 2008 team compares to 1982.
(AL rankings)

………..1982…2008
Runs__2nd___10th
HRS___2nd__9th
OBP___1st___11th
SLG___2nd___9th

Six guys had an OPS+ of better than 120 during that 1982 season. All of them had plenty of plate appearances, with Fred Lynn having the fewest at 545.

DeCinces 149
Reggie 147
Lynn 143
Downing 132
Grich 125
Carew 121

In contrast, the 2008 team had only one regular with an OPS+ better than 120 (Vlad at 130). Tex had a sensational OPS+ of 180 but had only 234 PAs with the Angels. Napoli was at 147 but had just 274 PAs.

Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!

That's why the Angels are going after CC

Go Figure

When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

Those four guys got all the ink...

… while it was Grich, Downing and DeCinces who did the most to win ballgames at the Big A.

yes, and look at Reggie's big glasses

Angels in 09!

Fred Lynn bears a striking resemblance to Larry Dallas of 3's Company

Indeed he does

I also thought Gopher from the Love Boat was a poor man’s Fred Lynn. Maybe it was the hair…

Wow, they are all so skinny.

Pre roid

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

That was an awesome team

Unfortunately, my first Angels memories are of ’86, which was a great team too.

Wow, what a missed opportunity that year, just win one in Milwaukee and we would have been up against the speed demons known as the Cards. That would have been a fun WS to watch. Instead America got fatty Gorman Thomas, Cecil Cooper, and Ted Simmons vs. what was, I think, a not too great Cards team and a pitching staff headed up by Joaquin Andujar.
