The Los Angeles Angels won the coin flip to select first in both the amateur draft and the expansion draft. I tried to set up a proper Serpentine Draft, but the game kept insisting on using a Serpentine Draft based on the Senators having the first pick. Whatev. Here are the first 10 picks out of 60 in the expansion draft:

1. Angels: Shane Spencer, LF/RF (from Kansas City Athletics)
2. Senators: Earl Wilson, RHP (from Minnesota Twins)
3. Angels: Darrell Sherman, OF (from New York Yankees)
4. Senators: Jimmie DeShong, RHP (from Pittsburgh Pirates)
5. Senators: Ed Summers, RHP (from Detroit Tigers)
6. Angels: Terry Evans, CF/RF (from San Francisco Giants)
7. Angels: Jim Lonborg, RHP (from Cincinnati Reds)
8. Senators: Gene Kingsale, OF (from Cleveland Indians)
9. Senators: Bert Gallia, RHP (from Detroit Tigers)
10. Angels: Gil Meche, RHP (from Minnesota Twins)

So there you have it. Shane Spencer and Earl Wilson will forever be known as the first Angel and Senator (except that Eckersley, McCovey and others were taken before them chronologically in the amateur draft, but what the hey).
