Will Vlad Guerrero have another day at the Big A? (or downtown stadium)

[notherhalo]

I mean, a bobblehead giveaway night, or some other commemoration.  I suppose 6 years is way too short for the Angels HOF.....

 

was he arguably the best player we've had over a 6 year season?  Doesnt look like Albert of Hamilton will match those great years, even if they tapered a bit towards the end

 

Sad that he was 1 HR away from joining Bonds, Canseco, Soriano and A-Rod

You'd think.  If they are inducting Bobby Knoop into the Angels Hall of Fame, they should do twice that much for Vladimir Guerrero... at least. The Angels generally don't have giveaways of ex/retired players, though.  Not since they gave away Grich, Downing, and Carew bobbleheads... which are the best bobbleheads they've given away.  I'd like to see them get back to that from time to time.   

 

I don't want to start a thread about it, but should Bobby Knoop really be an Angels Hall of Famer?  Seems to me this selection opens the door for quite a few former Angels.

David Eckstein in the Angels HOF or bust.

Sherm Corbett.

If he gets in before Rupert Jones, I'm going to be very dissatisfied with the Angels' decision makers.

Nothing says "respect" like a bobblehead.

 

In all seriousness, when enough time has elapsed (I don't know how long), they should induct him in the Angels HOF.

[Stradling]

He was great, but he was only here five years. I think it takes a much longer tenure to be considered. It would be the equivalent of putting Lackey in, except that Lackey actually helped us win a championship.

We just retired a guys number who has Reggie Willits type numbers. Vladdy's day will come.

Probably because Knoop was a coach around the Angels organization for almost 20 years after playing for them

He is in with the 2002 team.

There should be a statue of Vlad out in front of the new stadium in Fontana and I know where we can get one.

Though it looks more like Bud Selig at the moment, it could be repainted to look like a rumpled Vlad for just $6500.

You learned something yesterday.  Good job.

You learned something yesterday.  Good job.

So I could teach it to you today.
