Dusty giving out the game ball on the mound was awesome.

Yeah...I’m not superstitious, but you do not piss off the baseball gods. If they insist you wear the same socks for a week, you wear the same socks for a week.

another player in a fairly good sized list of players-- who signed big contracts with Seattle and saw their careers just hit a wall - some recovered (Adrian Beltre) and did well after leaving Seattle (Beltre actually slightly recovered while still with the M's -- but his first season after his 40 HR year with the Dodgers his F/A year, he was hitting .205 at the All Star Break and it was clear he would be gone from Seattle as soon as his contract was up- 3 year deal I think it was)......Jeff Weaver was another one, the rotation ace from Baltimore (can't recall his name) yet another........the M's F/A were just jinxed.

Robinson Cano finally came along and finally beat the jinx/ curse...........not that the team has done much around him.

Figgins is another one.

Yep, Figgy was a total bust in Seattle.   Weird, since he was still a solid hitter when leaving the Halos and was only 31/32

I call bullshit.

Everyone knows that every player who leaves the Angels goes on to become an All-Star.

Aside from the Angels actually winning, one of my favorite memories of 2002 was the fan in right field hitting reggie sanders with the thunder sticks

If that happened today that would be considered a hate crime.
