4. Gary DiSarcina –

Gary DiSarcina took over at shortstop as Dick Schofield’s career was winding down.  Just like Schofield, DiSarcina’s numbers were anything but spectacular.  He played his entire 12-year career with the Angels from 1989-2000.

During his 12-year career in Anaheim, DiSarcina hit 28 home runs with 355 RBI’s while batting .258.  His best season was in 1995 when he hit .307 with 5 HR’s and 41 RBI’s.  Unfortunately for the Angels he got hurt in July and missed the last part of the season.

DiSarcina was also pretty good with the glove as he had a career .973 fielding percentage.

DiSarcina is well-known for his hard-nosed gritty play and his leadership both on and off the field. So it is no surprise that  DiSarcina is currently the Angels first base coach. No matter what DiSarcina will always have a special in Angel fans memories for both of these attributes.
