Here’s some trivia:

In 2000, at least one player at every position qualified for the batting title and had an OPS over 1.000, the only time it’s ever been done in baseball history. Glaus was the sole 3rd baseman to top that mark.

The highest:
Catcher- Mike Piazza: 1.012
1st Base- Todd Helton: 1.161
2nd Base- Jeff Kent: 1.020
Shortstop- Nomar Garciaparra: 1.033
Thirdbase- *Troy Glaus*: 1.008
Right Field- Vlaud Guerrero: 1.074
Center Field- Richard Hidalgo: 1.027
Left Field- Barry Bonds: 1.128
DH- Frank Thomas: 1.061

And his WS performance in 2002 was legendary from the perspective of an Angels’ fan – there’s a reason he was the MVP of that Series. You stay classy, Troy Glaus.
