We still have those. I have that exact hat. The old logo, the one with the state of California is the uniform I miss :)

I liked some of those California Angels teams in the 70's and early 80's. Bobby Grich and Don Baylor. :D

Of course Rod Carew, Fred Lynn, Reggie, Lyman Bostock, etc.

Better uniforms back then too. By far.

The Angels were an early "adoptee" of the new era of free agency nicking guys like Joe Rudi and Bobby Grich. For a couple years they had Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanana (before he became a "junkballer") as arguably the best #1 & #2 combo in baseball.

Right. They spent a pile of money back then. Never worked out for winning it all tho.

No it didn't.

Rudi got injured.

Grich got injured.

The starters after Ryan and Tanana were crap.

They, the Rangers and Twins were just kind of taking up space behind the Royals who were putting out quality teams year after year.

And of course the A's and expansion Mariners were usually down at the bottom.

What a truly epic season. Rojas and Gubicza (our announcers) talked some of that season recently.

He was always a favorite of mine. I love true lead-off hitters

I never liked the Royals. Always rooted for the Yankees back then when they played.

Actually I think the only Royals players autographs I ever obtained was George Brett and Bret Saberhagen.

and '86 happened. To us before it happened to Boston.

It's what killed Moore.

Our Singing Cowboy sadly had passed by 2002.

I hate the Royals!!! Hosmer is such a damn turd! Like AJ Pierzynsnki level.

Brett and Sabs were awesome, obviously. But, now, that team and their fanbase are insufferable
