Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is T. Only 36 men whose last name started with “T” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform. Can we make a team out of them?
C – Chris Turner
1B – Mark Teixeira
2B – Dickie Thon
3B – Matt Thaiss
SS – Wilfredo Tovar
OF – Mike Trout
OF – Lee Thomas
OF – Mark Trumbo
DH – Jason Thompson
With Mike Trout on your team there could be more than a few Turkeys out there and the W’s will still come for the T’s. And some of the other T’s here are not slouches.
SP – Frank Tanana
SP – Bob Turley
SP – Nick Tropeano
RP – Ken Tatum
RP – Ryan Tepera
About this squad, you could say “Tanana, then Turley, then we may as well bring out Mister Furley…” but how many of us get a latter-day Three’s Company reference?
