Percy was one of my personal favorites.

It would better to do it in categories.  

Doc, IP, AO, Ettin is another good group.

Oz, Lou, Canadian Halo, Some other foreigner 

Adam, Brandon, Cez, AJ

Nolan Ryan was very much an Angels type guy. He pitched all out every four days and if it wasn’t for Buzzi Bavasi he probably would have been an Angel for a long time. 

Sorry, Ryan was a Texan first.

but he wasn't and then proceeded to whore out his HOF induction. 

What he did on his own time shouldn't matter.

There has to be a category for the knowledgeable history of the Angels fans. Percy Squint was a wealth of knowledge. AO is also.

Yikes I certainly hope I didn’t derail the thread. I did pick Trout, Salmon, Carew and Ryan.

I wouldn’t put Trout as one of the faces ..: now that he’ll be a Angel for life Hell Yes!!!

Trout Salmon Grich Anderson

All four players were lifetime Angels

Anderson? He wasn't a lifetime Angel.

He played for the Dodgers,that takes him off the list. I can forgive the Braves but not the Dodgers

[m0nkey]

It's not like he left in his prime to play for them.  He went there as a washed up 38 year old who couldn't hit.

[Puget Sound Angel]

Trout, Ryan,  Vlad, Tannana

[Claude]

No Mathis? bunch of a-holes!

[Fish Oil]

 

I don't see how one could carve out this mountain without putting Autry up there first and foremost. Without him, the Angels simply don't exist. He is the all time face of the franchise.

When I think of Baylor and Grich, I think of the Orioles.

When I think of Ryan, I think of the Astros.

Scioscia is certainly one of the all-time great managers, but he is also one of the all-time great Dodgers.

I still picture Guerrero in an Expos uniform.

I'll go with Autry, Fergosi, Salmon, and Trout

How the hell do you vision Vladdy as an Expo?  Division title 5 out if 6 years.  The greatest streak in franchise history and he was the of the team!  Scioscia had to be there.  6 division titles and franchise only WS championship.  Only Angel manager with a winning record.   The only way you keep him off is if you want only players.

Read more carefully.  The post you are referring to doesnt mention autry.

Okay, how is this?

[stormngt]

The only way you can reasonably keep Scioscia off is if you only want players.

 

Please tell me where autry came in?

[Jay]

Angels don't have that many players that can be considered "great" which presumably would be a requirement for Mount Rushmore.

Top Angels in WAR:
1. Trout
2. Finley
3. Fregosi
4. Salmon/Ryan (essentially tied but Salmon gets the nod)

[nate]

Trout, Ryan, Fregosi, Vlad

Honorable mention: Carew, Grich, Tanana, Chuck Finley, Salmon, Anderson, Percy,

Haha, it's funny when someone doesn't understand their own posts.

If I "only want players" why did I include Autry?

I have no doubt that Scioscia is a Hall of Fame manager, or at least he should be in my eyes, but I wouldn't put him on the mountain above the four I listed.

You too obtuse to know how ignorant you are:

Please note the qualifying statement "if you only want to players" 

Forgive me for thinking you know what a qualifying statement is.

Haha, you're hilarious.

Again; if I only wanted players, why would I have included Autry?
