LightTheHalo reacted to AngelsWin.com in AngelsWin.com Today: Top-50 Greatest Moments in Angels Baseball: #48 – Chuck Finley becomes all-time Angels leader in Wins February 14, 2017

“Fin to Win!” And he did. More than any other pitcher in Angels franchise history.
It was Tuesday evening, July 29,1997, when Chuck Finley took the mound in Cleveland to face an Indian lineup that included Manny Ramirez, Sandy Alomar Jr. and Matt Williams. In the bottom of the second inning, Finley gave up two runs on three hits — the only runs or hits he would surrender on the night en route to a 7-2 complete game victory. Jack Howell homered twice to pace the Halos.
In front of 42,975 at Jacobs Field, Finley upped his record to 10-6 on the season, but more importantly, he had just notched victory No. 139, surpassing Nolan Ryan as the team leader in career wins.
A five-time All-Star, Finley ended his Angels career with 165 wins — a record that still stands (and should for several more seasons — John Lackey is the team’s active leader with 79 victories.)
Chuck Finley Trivia – Finley is the only Major League pitcher to strike out 4 batters in one inning more than once, accomplishing the feat 3 times (twice as an Angel)

Two things:
1) The Expos have three HOFers and the Angels have zero. WTF?!

Yes.
Solely because Pete Rose will whine like a little bitch about it.

LightTheHalo reacted to NJHalo in Lincecum deal with Angels complete, $2.5M contract plus $1.7M incentives May 20, 2016

Trump would have signed him to a bigger, better deal. A great deal, and would have gotten the Giants to pay for it

My favorite baseball movie (and one of my favorites of any genre for that matter) of all time. So much more than just a bunch of foul mouthed, crappy Little Leaguers â€” though they are certainly a big part of the film's charm.

"Hey Yankees. You can take your apology, and your trophy, and shove 'em straight up your ass."

Maybe he should try experimenting with getting some outs.
