All Time Angels (letter) J Team

Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is J. If you are paying attention the letter “i” has been skipped and I will combine with a few other letters later in this series. 30 men whose last name started with “J” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform. None of them caught behind the plate.

C –
1B – Wally Joyner
2B – Jahmai Jones
3B – Ron Jackson
SS – Luis Jimenez

OF – Reggie Jackson
OF – Bo Jackson
OF – Ruppert Jones

DH – Alex Johnson

I checked every “J” Angel… not only did not one of them ever catch while an Angel, none ever caught anywhere in their pro careers. Ron Jackson played every position except pitcher and catcher in his career. But there IS a batting title here!

SP – Tommy John
SP – Jesse Jefferson
SP – Janson Junk

RP – Mike James
RP – Kevin Jepsen

Mike James was a great pitcher and the first MLB player with a tongue piercing.
