That's not "many," and while he would be known by people in LA, I can't imagine that they would pin that to him, specifically. He never played for LA.

He kicked Dodgers butt in the World Series. He was also on the Angels.

I hope I get through the station they are doing it at 40 after every hour.

Reggie Sanders was never in the World Series when he was with the Angels.

He was on the A's when he beat the Dodgers. I thought it was supposed to be memorable or something.

nm, it's Reggie. He played for the Yankees in 77 and 78 when they beat the Dodgers both times. He later played for the Angels.

UNLV transfer to Az State then dropped out.
Got it. Now, instead of E-bay, give ME the tickets and I'll use them. FREE OF CHARGE TO YOU! You can even send it COD!

I'll send it to you for free but I will have to charge $3,500 for shipping. Deal?
