These are the glory days for the Angels. They used to go decades without a playoff appearance. Now they go to the playoffs just about every year.
When fans look back upon this era of excellence, John Lackey figures to be the starting pitcher who comes to mind. He earned his 100th win for the Angels on Sunday, joining Chuck Finley, Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana and Mike Witt in that distinguished club.
“It’s a big deal,” Lackey said. “The list is pretty short of guys who have done it in this uniform. Those are some pretty big names. It’s cool to be in the same sentence with those guys.”

Chuck Finley, Nolan Ryan, Mike Witt and Frank Tanana. It’s an exclusive club — Angels pitchers with 100 or more victories — and John Lackey is on the verge of joining.
With a victory in the series finale against the Indians, Lackey will reach triple digits in wins in his career: 100, on the nose.
“It puts me in a certain class in the time I’ve been here, especially with the time I’ve missed the last two years,” Lackey said. “It means I’ve been out there, for the most part, and productive.”
Lackey has absorbed only 68 losses with his 99 wins, and his career ERA is 3.80 across 1,443 innings since making his Major League debut during the 2002 World Series championship run.
