The Angels Mount Rushmore....

[Chuck]

Who's your 4 Angels faces chiseled on the side of a mountain? 

I'm going with Mike Trout, Vlad Guerrero, Nolan Ryan & Tim Salmon.

How about yours?

[AngelsFaninGA]

Mike Trout, Tommy La Stella, Cam Bedrosian, and Mike Trout

[Make Angels Great Again]

Replace Ryan with Scioscia would be mine.

 

Might get heat for that, but you can't not recognize Mike's contributions to the Angels. Besides, Ryan may have had his most dominant moments here but he never struck me as a Mr. Angel type.

[Angelsfan1984]

Trout, Vlad, Torii, Percy

[the dude abides]

Paul McAnulty, Raul Mondesi, TR Bryden, Justin Speier

I thought about excluding Nolan Ryan, but damn... he set so many records when he was with us and was completely dominate. 

Scioscia or Fregosi is a good pick.

Mike Trout, Michael Trout, Michael Nelson Trout, Millville Meteor

Sorry not with you on this.  One championship.  At some point the longevity against that one championship starts to work against him.

Fregosi was Mr. Angel back in the 60's. Kind of like what Salmon was in the 90's. Not a Superstar, but All-Star material. Both just all around great guys. Vlad, because he worn our cap into the HOF. Trout, because he is the greatest player in my life time.

Ryan did well, but not one I would call a true Angel like the others I listed.

It wouldn't be complete without this guy

As far as "franchise-defining," I'd agree with these four.

Of course then we're both racist.

[Dtwncbad]

My Angel Mount Rushmore answer is just wait to have four great ones.

There is one.  I love many of the next group, but they are either not great or only a portion of their greatness came in an Angel uniform.

Patience.

Ryan WAS the reason for many of my trips to the stadium.

[floplag]

Ive been hesitant to answer this one as 4 is really rough.
My first though was Ryan, Baylor, Vlad, Salmon.    Grich, Downing came to mind... and of course Trout
But really it makes little sense to not have Trout on it at this point and as much as it pains me to do so i would have to add Trout over Salmon. 
How some of you can not put Baylor on this disturbs me though.

Fregosi, Trout, Salmon, Garret Anderson.  If you had a pitchers Mt Rushmore, it would be Ryan, Tanana, Finley, Percival.  I left Vlad out only because he played only 5 years for the Angels. He would be my next choice. Next choice for pitcher would be Mike Witt.

[Claude]

[SoCalSportsFan]

Trout
Salmon
Erstad
Ryan

Many more could go on this list like Downing, Tanana, Chance, Lynn, Hunter, Carew, Percival, Rodriguez, Glaus, Weaver

I personally wouldn't put "slow motion" Anderson on it, but He did have a "heart" about the game.

[Angelsjunky]

Trout, Ohtani, Adell, Adams

[Angel Oracle]

Jeff Juden, Hubie Brooks, Gary Gaetti, and Von Hayes 

 

 

 

Seriously, this one will take some thinking beyond Trout and Vlad, the two sure guys.  

Trout = greatest MLB player this decade.

Vlad = first Halos player in the MLB HOF, and played well enough along with that to deserve a spot.
