Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is H. 74 men whose last name started with “H” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform.
C – Ike Hampton
1B – Dave Hollins
2B – Rex Hudler
3B – Jack Howell
SS – Donnie Hill
OF – Torii Hunter
OF – George Hendrick
OF – Jimmie Hall
DH – Josh Hamilton
The Wonderdog, much more well known as an Angels broadcaster than an Angels player, put up good numbers as a utility man. Torii Hunter was replaced by Hambone and here they are, united. Hambone Hamilton put up a 110 OPS+ in 240 games as a Halo, respectable until you lok at the contract and games missed. Ugh.
SP – Dan Haren
SP – Paul Hartzell
SP – Andrew Heaney
RP – Bryan Harvey
RP – Shigetoshi Hasegawa
Andrew Heaney and his 95 ERA+ squeak in here. Jimmy Herget could pass Shiggy with a few years of dedication and his current excellent numbers, but it would take something for almost any reliever to pass up Bryan Harvey in an Angels uniform on the mound in the ninth inning.
