Angels Fact #6 - RBI duo

There are two players in the Angels franchise history who have posted four consecutive seasons of 100+ RBIs. What makes it even more interesting is one picked up his streak where the other left off.  The greatest offensive player in Angel history, Garret Anderson did it from 2000-2003. It was the only four years in his career he had over 100 RBIs. Of course one of those was  2002 which helped propel the Angels to their only World Series championship. He is still currently the Angels all-time leader in hits, doubles, runs, and RBIs. He played 15 of his 17 years with the Halos.

The first four of his six years from 2004-2007, Vladimir Guerrero was an RBI machine, no matter where the ball was pitched. Guerrero won the American League MVP in his first season in the big A when he had 39 home runs and 125 RBIs.  Guerrero also won the Silver Slugger all four of those seasons. He became a great show for fans everywhere, especially those who came to watch batting practice before games.
