Buried in this March 09, 2009 article at angelsbaseball.com is this little nugget:

Downing, hmmm

Trying to remember him. Wasn’t he that guy with the funny looking batting stance where he looked like he was trying to show his gonads to the pitcher?

Also, I vaguely recall 2 or 3 home runs from the lead off spot.

Otherwise, it’s pretty fuzzy.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

This is great news

The rapprochement w/ Downing is another sign that Arte has been classing up the joint. I really wish I could be there to applaud.

If you attend on the 7th...

you get this handy dandy towel (that I assume will have the likenesses of Chuckie and Brian in those blank spots when you receive it at the gate):
