Los Angeles Angels All-Time Greats
The eight greatest to ever wear the red and halo, from Nolan Ryan's fireballing California nights to Mike Trout's generational prime.
Born as a 1961 expansion club, the Angels spent four decades chasing a title before finally breaking through in a wild-card 2002 run. Their history pairs Cooperstown arms who passed through Anaheim with the homegrown superstar who became the face of the sport.

Mike Trout
A three-time AL MVP and the defining player of his generation, Trout has spent his entire career in Anaheim. His blend of power, speed, and defense made him the game's most complete player at his peak.
Shohei Ohtani
The most unique talent in modern baseball, Ohtani won AL MVP in Anaheim while dominating as both a hitter and a pitcher. His two-way seasons rewrote what fans thought was possible.
Nolan Ryan
The Ryan Express threw four of his record seven no-hitters as a California Angel and set the single-season strikeout record in 1973. His fastball made him one of the most feared arms in history.

Vladimir Guerrero
Vlad won the 2004 AL MVP in his first season with the Angels, swinging at everything and hitting most of it. His combination of power and a cannon arm made him a perennial All-Star in Anaheim.
