This is unlocking some menories for me. Was he the guy with the gnarly scar on his face? And didn't he play for the Dodgers and then get traded to the Angels?

Yes. Again I vaguely remember an important bomb in Anaheim against the Dodgers and then no memories of him.

OK I'm looking at his career.

Looks like he actually went deep off Percival in the 9th lol

Baby Pedro had the start and we have a Jeff DaVanon appearance.  

Angels vs. Twins

September 11th, 1999

Funny enough... I always had "a thing" for Matt Luke, because 2 games I randomly caught he homered. One for us, the other for the Dodgers.

And for the past like decade I see advertisements for him selling homes all over near me. And I feel like I'm the only one who knows he was a ballplayer once.

Angels use 7 pitchers to out slug the Red Sox. Man, if only this team had pitching.

This was the year I really became an Angels fan and the one time sports really broke my heart.

Jorge Fabregas in his youngin days. Before the Angels reacquired him in the early 2000s.

[UndertheHalo]

@Taylor’s favorite Jorge Fabregas makes a return appearance. 

[Taylor]

@FabulousFabregas would be proud.

Pep Harris was one of my faves when I was a kid.

I remember him tossing a ball to the hot chick sitting in front me when he was walking in from the bullpen one time. I wasn't mad at him, just disappointed.

Wally Joyner time.  Some other guys.  Very nice.

I wonder if the lineup was drawn out of a hat?

[Blarg]

Captain Kirk was always on the cusp of being really good. In 1986 he was always pretty much keeping the Angels in the game for their playoff run. Then he had that one standout season in 1989 but could never build on that. 

[notherhalo]

The rest of the lineup didnt matter

It ended with 

Quinlan

Wood

Wilson

Willits

[UndertheHalo]

This looks like it was a fun team.  I did not exist yet.

Why is Max Venable the only guy whose first name is spelled out instead of initialed?

We need a victorious Angel box score. As Roger Lodge would say, "Let's get a win!"

0-5.  Last W against Boston in 1995.  Listen pal, I just pick the days.  What happened is not my problem.

Today is Tuesday but not Gubie Tuesday. Good vibes are just not on our side.
