For Angels fans, this is a familiar argument. Bobby Grich, the second baseman that formed the heart and soul of the Angels throughout the late seventies and into the mid-eighties, should be a Hall-of-Famer.
His name was removed from the ballot in 1992 when he only received 2.6 percent of votes, but that doesn’t mean his Hall-of-Fame credentials should be forgotten.
Grich, who played high school baseball at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, was drafted by the Orioles, where he played the first seven seasons of his career. It was in Baltimore where he proved to be one of the most reliable defensive infielders in the game.
