This Day in Angels Baseball: June 15th, 1962

June 15, 1962 at Comiskey Park the Los Angeles Angels lost to the Chicago White Sox 7-6. Kem McBride went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits but Tom Morgan came on in relief and gave up 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th for the loss. The Angels would get home runs from Leon Wagner, Felix Torres and Billy Moran in the game. Moran came to the Angels in a trade from Toronto (AAA International league) and would play 2 seasons as the Angels starting second baseman before Bobby Knoop arrived in 1964. Moran had his best year in the majors in 1962 when he hit 17 home runs, had 90 runs, 74 RBI’s and batted .282. His 659 at bats that year have only been bettered by Sandy Alomar, Garret Anderson and Darin Erstad in a season for the Angels.
