Kole Calhoun at our 2014 Spring Fanfest (video)

[Chuck]

Found an older video of Calhoun at our '14 Spring Fanfest. 

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun talks with Angels fans at the AngelsWin.com Spring Training Fanfest 2014.

Dang, found this one of Kole Calhoun back when he was in High-A with the IE 66ers. Crazy where the time went.

2014 was in the big room at the Radison. The Fanfest was growing to almost unmanageable size considering we all had jobs and most of the board members were scattered across not just county lines but state lines.

Really want you to do another one Chuck provided Arte invests like he says he will. We deserve a comeback season.

What year was Dipoto there? Victor Rojas? That was my favorite.

Rex Hudler was great, too, but I'm too old to remember much of it

Dipoto was out guest for three straight years. 

I think you're referring to the Tim Salmon one right?

Here's some highlights of that one.

Scott, damn that was a long time ago. 2008 or 2009 at Hail Marys?

Yeah @Adam Knox, if Arte invests on the team and builds a good team on paper I'll definitely put something together.

It was the Tim Salmon one.  Victor Rojas was buying drinks for the unruly table. Even though we had some at the table. 

March 6-9, 2020. The tradition continues.

Man, I need to find that media round table session video for that night. That was awesome. Big Joe McDonnell was a part of that one too. RIP

Let me look. The very first one was in 2006 and we held it at the Fox Sports Grill. Tim Mead gave his very first dugout talk though and it was awesome.

Here's a picture of the very first one when we held the event at the Fox Sports Grill in Scottsdale, AZ.

That seems like a good time to have it. I like going in early March myself.

Also, here's a favorite from Throwbacks of you and @Angel25Fan aka @Brian Ilten

I think, if you keep digging, there may be an interview that I did with Kole back at Orem as well. That's where I first spotted him as being a cut above the others on the field.

Nice Kole Cuts

I looked but couldn't find it. Found a bunch of other gems though that I'll uncover from the archives.
