Max Capacity - Fact #7

Before the 1982 season, the Angels acquired Bobby Boone and Reggie Jackson. Later, four Angels would participate in the All-Star game, three of them starting (Bobby Grich - 2B, Reggie Jackson - RF, Fred Lynn - CF, and Rod Carew). Jackson would have the only RBI for the American League when he hit a sac fly to drive in Ricky Henderson.
The team would go on to win 93 games and the American League West.  64,406 came out to see game one of the 1982 ALCS against the Milwaukee Brewers, which is the largest home crowd in Angels history. The California Angels went on to win the game 8-3, but would lose the series after going up 2-0 in a best of five. The current capacity of Angel Stadium is 45,483.
