Every team has their greatest players of all time. Let us take a look at the Los Angeles Angels Mount Rushmore.

The Los Angeles Angels have been around since 1961. For the majority of the franchise’s history, they struggled with mediocrity, making the postseason only three times in the 20th century. Meanwhile, the Angels spent most of their first two decades under .500, although they had one of the top pitching duos in the game. Despite putting together some excellent teams, they failed to win a playoff series in that time.

The Angels luck changed in the 21st century. In 2002, not only did they finally win their first playoff series, but added a their only World Series title as well. Los Angeles made five more trips to the postseason that decade, although they have yet to return to the Fall Classic.

During this time, the Angels have had a few stars head through their clubhouse. Whether from shrewd trades, excellent draft choices, or the deeper pockets of ownership, the Angels have had quite a few stars. But which of these players managed to carve their way into the history books, marking themselves as the best players in Angels history?

Let us begin our look around the majors as we put together the Mount Rushmore for each team. Today, we look at the Los Angeles Angels.
