Meoli's pro career began when the Angels selected him in the fourth round of the 1969 Major League Baseball draft after his graduation from Royal Oak High School in Covina, California. After a cursory, late-season MLB trial in September 1971, Meoli made the 1973 Angels as a utility infielder, starting three games at third base and backing up Bobby Valentine as the club's shortstop during the season's early weeks. Meoli joined the Angel starting lineup at shortstop on May 13 when the versatile Valentine moved to center field. A catastrophic leg injury sustained as he was playing the outfield ended Valentine's season May 17, and solidified rookie Meoli's starting job. He played in a career-high 120 games during 1973, starting 87 at shortstop, and set personal bests in hits (68) and runs batted in (23). He also swatted what would be his only two big-league home runs, off Joe Coleman July 14, then off Gene Garber two weeks later. In the latter game, Meoli drove in six runs with his three hits, leading the Angels to a 19–8 thrashing of the Kansas City Royals.In total, we tracked 56 items since 01/01/2008.
