Los Angeles Angels: Top 3 Home Run Hitters in History

Troy Glaus

Troy Glaus only spent seven years in the City of Angels and he made a huge impression during his time there. His 182 home runs ranks sixth on the team’s all-time list but he sits atop the single-season home run list with the 47 he hit in 2000.

The following year he hit 41 bombs, ranking third on the single-season list and the two year total is the highest of any Angels player. Troy Glaus had flat out power and was a presence in the batter’s box.

Much like Salmon, Glaus’ totals would have been much higher had he been able to stay on the field in his final two years with the Angels. Injuries held him to 149 games in the final two seasons in which he had just 34 jacks.

Glaus’ star shined brightest on the biggest of stages. In the World Series year of 2002, Glaus hit seven long balls in the playoffs including three in the Fall Classic. He earned the Most Valuable Player Award for the series by leading the team in hits, extra-base hits, runs, and runs batted in.

Troy Glaus has firmly cemented his place in Los Angeles Angels lore with his powerful bat and his home-run stroke.
