| 1977 | In a 6-1 loss at Baltimore, Angel starter Nolan Ryan, who will finish the season fanning 341 batters, strikes out 11 Orioles to pass the 300 mark for the fifth time in his career.

| 1985 | Angels' hurler Kirk McCaskill's first-inning pitch hits Don Baylor. The Yankee DH's 190th HBP breaks, pardon the expression, the American League record established by Minnie Minoso in 1963 while playing with the White Sox. |
| 1986 |
Down by eight runs in the bottom of the final frame, the Angels score nine times to beat the Tigers, 13-12. Dick Schofield, batting for the second time in the inning, completes the amazing comeback with a two-out walk-off grand slam off Willie Hernandez.

| 2000 | Darin Erstad, going 3-for-5, gets his 200th hit in the Angels' 9-4 comeback victory over the Blue Jays at Edison Field. The Anaheim DH reaches the 200-hit plateau quicker than any other player since Cardinal outfielder Ducky Medwick accomplished the feat in 131 games in 1935. |
| 2002 | To show their displeasure about tomorrow's impending strike, fans at the Devil Ray-Angel game throw trash and foul balls back onto the field. Adding new words to the traditional seventh-inning rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," many fans at Edison Field begin chanting, "Don't strike! Don't strike! Don't strike!". |
