Just call me angel of the morning, angel. Just touch my cheek before you leave me, oh my baby. Just call me angel of the morning, angel. Then slowly turn away from me. -Bonnie Tyler
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What a line-up! From head to toe. Rain or snow. Geronimo, look out below! Look out for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Each and every of the nine players in the Angels’ batting order for last night’s game at Cleveland came out of that game with a season’s batting average of .300 or higher. How about that? How about this: It’s the first time since 1934 that any major league team has finished a game-at least 100 games into a season-with each player in its starting batting order hitting .300 or better. Pretty pretty preeeeeeeeeety good.
