Classiest Angels

[johndw52]

Just thought I would start a thread on some postive feelings we've had about some of our players and associates throughout Angel history.

1. Of course THE COWBOY wanted to win badly.

2. Tim Salmon  (A given)

3. Lymon Bostock  not because of his tragic death but of his gesture to give up his salary because of his horrid start.

Rod Carew always seemed like a class act.

Those posts were as predictable as idiots referring to someone as Melvin.

It was such a big deal at the time, "Guns in the Clubhouse!!!"

Rex Hudler nay not have been 'classy', but he exemplified hustle and team spirit. Also got the most of his abilities and knew his role, batting around 300 in his Angel career.

The antithesis of class could have been Bo Belinsky,  but he was the first Angel to get off the field notoriety. This book really brings back what baseball and life was like back then. The other picture is with his fiance, the actress Mamie van Doren.he missed a MLB award dinner that night to go dancing with her!
