  1. He lives in a homeless camp next to the Santa Ana river.
  2. The Padres woes don't make feel any better about the Angels lack of postseason appearances.
  3. You assume he can still "walk" in 2030? That's bold.
  4. In the grand scheme of things, I suppose this isn't a big deal. That being said, the lighting of the Halo after a victory was one of those things that was unique to our Angels. For a sport that is rich in tradition, the Angels don't seem to have many and the few things it does have seem to be going away. Logos change. Colors change. Team name changes. Things sort of change like the weather. I think traditions can be nice. They can make a franchise iconic in some ways. I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, but I do think it's a little sad. Just a little.
  5. For those of you keeping score at home... Good luck! The revolving door is spinning pretty darn fast.
  6. A little story... Mike Moustakas made his MLB against the Angels in 2011. I attended all 3 games of that series. He homered for the first time in his career in the second game of his career. After the game, I had an opportunity to talk with him (he was outside by the big hats with his family). I told him that Billy Butler also hit his first career homer in Anaheim. He thought that was cool. We chatted just a bit and I said something (don't remember specifics) and he said... "We're gonna beat you guys!" It struck me funny because he said it in a way a kid would say that... Well, he was just 22 at the time - but he seemed like a big kid to me. He's managed to have a nice little career. He's made nearly $100 million. Not bad for a "big kid." I think it's cool that a kid from Chatworth was able to make his MLB debut in Anaheim and might end his career in Anaheim as well.
