Overview

With those prophetic words, Angels coach Joe Maddon christened the batch of eager rookies gathered on the first day of the Angels' Instructional League camp in Mesa, Arizona, in 1989. Among them was an outfielder from Grand Canyon College named Tim Salmon. He and team-mates Troy Percival and Garret Anderson would take Maddon's words to heart and lead the Angels to the team's coveted first World Series championship.

Always an Angel: Playing the Game with Fire and Faith is the story of Salmon's extraordinary baseball career and the parallel story of the Angels organization's rise to excellence.
