I had my first at Love Field’s food court.  Loved the thinner buns and double meat.

That’s the main focus now.
Lots of talent on the farm, let’s see how things pan out the rest of the season and into 2022.

It was a real treat - thanks to @Chuckster70 for setting it up, @Dave Saltzer for leading, the Angels for making it happen, and all of you for thinking up the questions.
Hoping there's many more to come.

Thank you @Dave Saltzer, @totdprods and @Chuckster70 for this. Awesome to see!

Great job on this @Dave Saltzer & @totdprods!!
@Hells Rainbow will like the answer to one of the questions we asked Fletch.

Interview conducted by David Saltzer and Tres Hefter 
Who doesn’t like a blue-collar player? A scrapper. A grinder. The kind of player who leaves it all out there on the field and doesn’t get cheated in an at bat.
Players like that quickly become fan favorites. They make the team better than their individual stats suggest. Fans connect with them because in many cases, that’s the kind of player they wish that they could be.
In David Fletcher, the Angels have one of the best blue-collar players in the game right now. He is one of the toughest outs at the plate. He plays great defense at multiple positions. He leads off the game and sets the table for the heart of the order. He doesn’t strikeout often and gives his all on every play. He makes the Angels a better team whenever he is in the lineup.
We recently had the opportunity to sit down with David Fletcher to talk to him about the 2021 season, his thoughts on baseball in general, and life off of the field. We asked questions from fans that we received on our website, www.angelswin.com, Facebook, Twitter, and from our panel of writers. Along the way we talked about his 26-game hit streak (2nd longest in Angels history and the longest in MLB this season), what it’s like to play for his hometown team, watching Ohtani’s spectacular season, who the best Angels poker players are, and what he’s seeing in the younger players that are making the team.

Most impressive was only 87 pitches in 6 innings, only 21 in innings 5-6.
Finishing strong is never, eeever a bad thing.
Congrats on first MLB win AND first MLB QS!

Had a start today against the Astros.

Lol I'm so glad he's no longer on this team.

Couldn't stand Rich at first, but within about a week or so he completely won me over. Once he got comfortable in the booth I have found him to be a very good storyteller, and doesn't suck up to Gubi like Sutton did.

J.R. Richard a former pitcher in the MLB passed away at the age of 71. Richard was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball and played his entire career, from 1971 to 1980, with the Houston Astros.
After leaving high school, Richard was selected by the Astros as the second overall pick in the first round of the 1969 amateur draft. From the time he made his major league debut with the Astros in 1971 until 1975, Richard had a limited role as an Astros pitcher, throwing no more than 72 innings in a season. In 1975, Richard played his first full season in the majors as a starting pitcher.
From 1976 to 1980, he was one of the premier pitchers in the majors, leading the National League twice in strikeouts, once in earned run average, and three times in hits allowed per nine innings, winning at least 18 games a year between 1976 and 1979. On July 30, 1980, Richard suffered a stroke and collapsed while playing a game of catch before an Astros game, and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery to remove a life-threatening blood clot in his neck. His condition brought a sudden end to his major league career at the age of 30. His 313 strikeouts in 1979 remained an Astros franchise record until Gerrit Cole surpassed it on September 24, 2019, and he held the team's record for career strikeouts (1,493) until 1987. Two-time National League MVPs Johnny Bench and Dale Murphy both named Richard as the toughest pitcher they ever faced.
In 1981, Richard attempted a comeback with the Astros, but this failed because the stroke had slowed down his reaction time and weakened his depth perception. He spent the next few seasons in the minor leagues before being released by the Astros in 1984. After his professional baseball career ended, Richard became involved in unsuccessful business deals and went through two divorces, which led to him being homeless and destitute in 1994. Richard found solace in a local church and later became a Christian minister.
Richard died in a Houston hospital on August 4, 2021.

Found out today that Joe Buttitta, who called Angel games in 1982-84, had recently passed away. He was also the KTLA Channel 5 sports anchor when he did the Angel games.
Found out through this link tweeted from the local news station in Santa Barbara County, where Buttitta's son, also named Joe, is a morning news show host.
