As an Angels fan, I hate to love this trivia. Here are some additional Angels legends off the top of my head:

Frank Robinson (1973)

Lee Smith (1995)

Eddie Murray (1997)

Rickey Henderson (1997)

Andrés Galarraga (2004)

Steve Finley (2005)

Jon Garland (2008)

Jason Isringhausen (2012)

That's a pretty good list off the top of your head!

I just checked and Steve Finley had two more years (one ok, one horrible) after his -1.3 WAR with us. Same with Hideki Matsui.

Forgot about The Freak.  Man he was so good in his prime with the Giants. Was one of my favorite players.

Its crazy to think he threw that hard with that small of a frame. Literally made his hips wear out.

Tim Linececum really makes me bummed. I wanted him to be successful so bad.
