The Angels' '70s Night promotion at the Big A tonight had a couple of nice touches we couldn't overlook.

First, the old unis, which makes Angels starter Jon Garland look as if he's Andy Hassler.

On the message board, every player was depicted as if they were mod to the style back then, as we see here. The White Sox's Carlos Quentin is sporting an afro, while Angels' first baseman Casey Kotchman holds Chicago runner A.J. Pierzynski at first in the first inning. Also note the old graphics on the board.

Before the game, actor Barry Williams -- Greg Brady from "The Brady Bunch" -- did the national anthem, not dressed as Johnny Bravo.
If only Dick Enberg was there to describe it all.
