7 Angels Grand Slam Walk Offs in History

by Anaheim of Anaheim on Apr 8, 2008 6:37 PM PDT

There have been 7 Angels grand slam walk off home runs in the Angels history.

I guess I'm too young to remember them... how about you old timers?

Can we account for all of them? Do you have any favorites? I'm probably shooting myself here and forgetting some classic Angels history that we should all know.

I'll start with #7

Torii Hunter hits his second home run of the game. He put them ahead 2 to 1 in the 8th with a solo homer only to watch Frankie melt down in the 9th and let the Indians take a 4 to 2 lead going into the bottom of the inning. A grand slam walk off summoned by the rally monkey he had feared for all those years as a Twinkie put the Angels over the top and dancing on home plate. A 6 to 2 victory over the Indians.

I found out who hit #6.. Hint: It was a member of the squad that brought us a World Championship.

Roger Repoz

April 24, 1971, by Roger Repoz off Dick Hall. The last of the Orioles run of late 60's dynasty teams that appeared in three straight World Series, they finished 101-57 and won the AL East. The Angels ... 76-86.

Witty .sig goes here.

Leroy Stanton

July 25, 1976 off Steve Foucault. The Angels were only slightly better than the Rangers that year, and it was pretty obvious, as the Halos were 18 games back of Kansas City, in the cellar. Both clubs ended up 76-86, tied for fourth place, ahead of only Chicago.

Witty .sig goes here.
