Having lived not far from the Big "A"......I've some comments.

I remember the stadium being built.....

I recall Willie Mays hitting the first home run in the stadium.

I hated the name "California Angels"...even as a young kid.

I lived and died with the Angels....

Rejoiced when they changed their name to Anaheim Angels....That's where they are...that's what they should be called. Period.

Totally disgusted when Disney bought the Angels....

Rejoiced when they won the series...!!

Distressed when they changed their name again.....to L.A. Angels of Anaheim. What's that all about!!??

Still am a fan....but ticked off I couldn't watch last night.

They have a very good team.....we shall see what happens.

What do you think of your guys wearing red uniforms at home? (If the Dodgers ever wore anything but white at home, the owner should have his head handed to him.)

There's such leftist ownership in baseball going on these days that the Giants actually played a home game against the Dodgers wearing uniforms with "Gigantes" rather than "Giants". Wonder what that was all about. Something tells me that old man Stoneham must be spinning in his grave.

As to Willie Mays hitting a HR in Anaheim, must have been an exhibition game because Mays never played in the American League.

Was in April 1966...an exhibition game.

Do not doubt me!

LOL!!

Used to have a couple Willie Mays baseball cards...and dear old mom threw them all away. A couple hundred cards....Warren Spahn, Gil Hodges, The Mick...etc...etc..

Personally I could careless that the Angels wore red....Now the Giants thing is totally different.

Heck you will pass out when/if you hear the Dodgers announced as the "The Angels Dodgers"....lol!!

It looks like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will be playing the Boston Red Sox of Massachusetts in the first round of the playoffs. If the Angels can get by them, they'll probably have to face the New York Yankees of New York in the AL championship series.

It's all good!

The Angels match up well with both teams...IMO.

The Angels and the Yanks are batting .285 as a team....Boston is near .270

And, the Angels basically split all their games with both the Yankees and Boston.

So...I figure we will have some good games..!!

See ya!!
