  • Mays
  • Thome
  • McGwire
  • Sosa
I think that's 3 who retired in this century, but I'm out of guesses. You make me dig into older names and I'm going Harmon Killebrew but I don't think he's that high up.

6 is probably Mays... So 8-10 means there's two who retired this century. Thome would certainly be in that group. Guessing the other one would be one of either Sosa or McGwire... if memory serves me correct, I think Sosa may have played a liiiitle longer than Big Mac, so I'll go with Thome/Sosa as the two from this century. The last one is the challenge... others have mentioned Killebrew, but I don't think he's THAT high up. My guess is he's probably somewhere like 12-15? Reggie Jackson is up there, but I'm almost positive he's not in the top ten. Same goes for Manny, I know he's up there, but not in top ten. Frank Robinson maybe? That'd be my only other guess.

Arte Moreno Exploring Possible Sale Of Angels​

By Mark Polishuk | August 23, 2022 at 12:47pm CDT

In a news release, the Angels ownership group announced that it is considering selling the team, and will start to explore a possible sale along with Galatioto Sports Partners (who have been retained as financial advisors during the process).
“It has been a great honor and privilege to own the Angels for 20 seasons,” owner Arte Moreno in the statement. “As an Organization, we have worked to provide our fans an affordable and family-friendly ballpark experience while fielding competitive lineups which includes some of the game’s all-time greatest players.”

“Although this difficult decision was entirely our choice and deserved a great deal of thoughtful consideration, my family and I have ultimately come to the conclusion that now is the time. Throughout this process, we will continue to run the franchise in the best interest of our fans, employees, players, and business partners.”

While any number of factors may have weighed into the Moreno family’s thought process, it was less than three months ago that Anaheim’s city council ruled against a long-gestating deal that would have seen Moreno’s management group purchase Angel Stadium and the entire 150-acre property around the ballpark. Moreno’s group was planning to develop the area into a multi-purpose residential and commercial space, similar to other “ballpark village” developments that have become common around both newer baseball stadiums and other venues in other sports.

However, the tentative agreement between Moreno and the city fell apart, in large part due to an ongoing federal investigation concerning alleged corruption, violations of state laws, and insider information. Former Anaheim mayor Harry Sidhu resigned his position, and the city council voted to overturn the Angel Stadium deal entirely in the wake of the scandal.
