Player notes: Bobby Grich was probably the premier secondbaseman in the American League in the late seventies and early eighties. He was an excellent fielder, and a scrappy competitor who had unusual power for a middle infielder of that era. He was a spark plug on the first Angels team to win a division title, and while the team never quite got over the hump to win a league pennant, Grich was a key reason they were always very competitive during his tenure there. Grich led the American League in slugging percentage in the strike shortened 1981 season, and tied for the home run title that year. He was the kind of man you think of when you hear the word "ballplayer".
