The Angels are a franchise defined by their generational talents -- and while they have had their fair share of ace pitchers throughout the years, their heavy hitters have been the ones that defined the decades of organizational success. Mike Trout has been a key cog in the lineup for almost 15 years. Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter carried the load before him. The early 2000’s featured Darin Erstad, Troy Glaus, Tim Salmon, and Garret Anderson in the lineup - and before them the likes of Bobby Grich and Reggie Jackson made Anaheim a location known for slugging.
As FanSided has partnered with Louisville Silver Slugger to announce this year’s recipients, we’re taking a look at just how well the Angels have fared in the history of the award.
