Troy Glaus is the Greatest Angels 3rd Baseman Ever

After being drafted third overall by the Anaheim Angels in the 1997 June Amateur draft, Troy Glaus made his MLB debut one year later, playing 48 games in 1998. In his third season, he became an All-Star and a Silver Slugger, batting .284 and slugging 47 HRs. Glaus recorded 41 HRs his next season and repeated as an All-Star and Silver Slugger which set the tone for an illustrious Angels career.

In 2005, Glaus signed with the Diamondbacks for four years but was ultimately traded after just one season with the team. He would play two seasons for the Blue jays and then two more seasons for the Cardinals before retiring in 2010 as an Atlanta Brave. However, his legacy will always be remembered for his time in Anaheim as the most productive 3rd Baseman in franchise history.
