More About This Book

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.

Meet the Author

Tim Salmon is a former professional baseball player who was one of the American League’s most consistent performers and who helped guide the Angels to their first world championship in 2002. He is the founder of the Tim Salmon Foundation, which supports Orange County charities assisting children in need. He lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. Rob Goldman was a team batboy and visiting clubhouse attendant for the Angels in the 1970s. He played baseball at Mendocino College and graduated with a BA in theatre arts from Sonoma State. He has acted in several films, including Dances with Wolves, JFK, and Overboard, and is the author of Once They Were Angels: A History of the Team, hailed as the “best sports history in years” by the New York Daily News and considered one of the definitive books on the Angels.

    If you call yourself a true Angels fan, this is the book for you.

    If you wanna know more about the man they call "Mr. Angel", Tim Salmon, this is the book for you. One of the best hitters and an all around great person, this book was written by Rob Goldman, but it was mostly written by the man himself, Tim Salmon, and it shows the life of a kid that would one day become the face of the franchise. While I haven't finished the book yet, I have already enjoyed the first few chapters, and this is all before the 2002 World Series part, which I always enjoy reading about.
