Bo Belinsky- He will never be forgotten he was more famous in LA for his off the field life.
Rumor was at the beginning of spring training He use to show up at Autry's ranch in Palm Springs with 2 Playboy Models and and half a bottle of bourbon.

Belinsky
I think he used to date Mamie Van Doren and Tina Louise(Ginger on Gilligan's Island) Did his arm go bad or was he just too undisciplined? I have an audio cassette game of him pitching for the 1967 Astros and he pitched pretty well. The Angels got Rudy May(and Costen Shockley) for him so that worked out.

Julio Ramirez
Justin Baughmen Pep Harris Mike James Paul Leftwich Claudell Washington Scott Lewis Ruppert Jones Ron Jackson I remember John Orton because when he first came up he looked like he was going to be a star but his carrer just faded away like many Angels in the early 90's

I thought Justin Baughman would be better too. I think I saw his name on someone's AAA roster.

How about Jay Johnstone.
Also any Yankee fan will thank the Halos for Mickey Rivers and Ed Figueroa. How many people remember that they wereen't too bad for the Angels either.

Alex Johnson.
Even though he won a batting title, he might as well be forgotten. BlueSteve has posted numerous stories of his stint with the Angels, and you'll see why hardly anyone talks about him.

There were stories about him carrying a gun and not running out groundballs. One of the first bad attitude guys that I remember. His stats in 1971 really dropped off after the batting title(.329) They traded him to Cleveland for Vada Pinson.

Rivers and Figueroa
That trade worked out better for the Yanks. The Angels got one great year and one below average year from Bobby Bonds before they moved him on. Rivers and Figueroa were rising stars in their short time with the Angels.

Once They Were Angels
Thanks Cajun. I always liked the early Angels. I have their first game on audio tape. I'll find that book. Belinsky had two pretty good,but not star quality seasons with the Angels. The no-hitter and his playboy lifestyle made him a star of sorts. I didn't know that he was engaged to Mamie Van Doren. She was third behind Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield in the blonde bombshell pecking order but the most outrageous. I looked at her website a few months ago and she still looks pretty good. There are exerpts from her tell all book,talking about the stars she slept with.

More Forgotten Past Angels
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned...
Rick Reichardt or Jackie Warner Two guys that never quite lived up to thier potential or what was expected of them. Also, some other now too often over looked Angel players of the past..... Leon "Daddy Wags" Wagner Steve Bilko Lee Thomas Bobby Knoop Billy Moran Albie Pearson Don Mincher Tom Satriano Jose Cardenal Clyde Wright Minnie Rojas Ken McBride Felix Torres Just to name a few more.

I never heard of Jackie Warner. I looked him up and it looks like he had good power in his one part time year.
Reichardt,the $100,000 Bonus Baby had some good years but never close to what was expected. We had him in Washington for one year and his 15 homers as a platoon player was major for a bad Senators team. I remember one of the last games of the 1970 season against Boston and his homer was the only run we got in a 10-1 loss. After the game, outside the players entrance,he got a standing ovation(I guess we were already standing!) I thought about some of the other guys on your list but thought that they had "close to" star years(except Satriano). Good List though!  Quote:

Hartzell/Jones
Hey Angels fans, just found you guys and would love to talk Angels with you. The first player I think of is Paul Hartzell. He was the first autograph I ever got at Angel Stadium. I was part of the Jr Angels in the 70's. Growing up in Fountain Valley we went to games all the time. I also remember Bobby Jones, who I now see often here in Texas as he coaches for the Rangers.
