While nobody connected with the California Angels is claiming the American League West championship yet, it would seem that only a collapse of major proportions can stop them.
Therefore the Angels would do their bit at making 1986 a year for mature athletes, as in Jack Nicklaus, 46, winning the Masters and Willie Shoemaker, 55, riding a Kentucky Derby winner.
Among the other geezers not running out of gas are: pitcher Don Sutton, 41; DH Reggie Jackson, 40; catcher Bob Boone, 38; second baseman Bobby Grich, 37; third baseman Doug DeCinces, 36; outfielder George Hendrick, 36;
outfielder Brian Downing, 35; and infielder Rick Burleson, 35.
