Hello everyone, new guy here. Life long Angels fan, grew up an Angels fan. I live in LA county but love my Angels and hate the Dodgers. My fav all time player, is of course, the King Fish.

I am also a Ducks fan, die hard Packer fan, and my favorite college team is West Virginia University. Yes, despite living in LA county all my life, I don't like a single LA team haha.

 

Already been to 1 game this year, opening week, and hoping to go to a few more before the end of the season. good to be here.

@fighterpilot562 thanks for sharing your interests and welcome to AngelsWin.com

New to the forum (obviously)...needed to find a place for Angels Fan news and discussions since MLB.com shut down their Angels fan forum. I was born an raised a few miles from the Big A and have been a fan for a very long time (too include the baby blue 90's). Loved watching Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana and Reggie when I was a little leaguer....Glad I found this site!!!

I've been a member of the forum now for quite a few years now but I rarely post so might as well introduce myself as a noob. I'm from Wales (that's part of the UK for you geographically challenged yanks ) but have lived in Sweden for the last 20 years. I discovered baseball back in the late 80s when football (the American kind) became a cult sport on one of the TV channels in the UK. The same channel started showing the baseball and as a Rams fan I plumped for the Angels as they played in the same stadium. Baseball never caught on and disappeared from the airwaves as did my very basic interest. Fast forward to 2006 and I discovered that I had a satellite channel that broadcast live and recorded baseball as part of my TV package. I was hooked pretty quickly this time as there is something about the game that appeals to my psyche. I decided to stick with the Halos and here I am. It's a pain that most of the games take place in the middle of the night but most mornings I am able to catch the last few innings.

Lets hope one day you can come out to Anaheim and attend a game.

I think I'd like watching a really late night Angels game tbh but I'm a night owl by nature so....   Welcome to you and the rest of our newcomers.

My name is William (Bill) Baxter, I'm 61,  and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I work as a Civilian Contract Worker out at the U.S. Army Post at Fort Carson (just outside Colorado Springs). I just celebrated my 25th-Silver Anniversary as a Member of Toastmasters International. I am a Fan of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox (Minor League), and the Denver Broncos. I did live in Orange County, CA; most of my life and so I am also a Fan of the Anaheim Ducks. I saw that there is an NFL Forum and an NHL Forum where one can post about the Anaheim Ducks and the Denver Broncos, so I would definitely like to post here once in awhile.

I registered 2 years ago. I'm just getting around to posting. Angel fan since '75. It was Tanana and Ryan and two days for cryin'. When I was a kid, I told myself to pick one team and stick with them forever. Angels, Rams and Lakers. My best memory is when we won game 3 of the ALDS. I called Salmon's homer.

Yeah, I love GA.... but nor he or Tim Salmon (my favorite player) is worthy of the Hall. 

That is true. You know, Pujols may decide yet

to dawn an Angels Uniform when he enters the hall because of the way St. Louis treated him.

[Blarg]

No way in hell. Pujols Angels career has been a disaster both for him and the Angels. His legacy belongs in a Cardinals uniform.

Hey guys, Angels fan from Hawaii here. Joined the board a few weeks ago, thought I'd say wassup! It's been a miserable season thus far.

You may be right.

Long time angel fan, signed up a while back, but thinking of posting more!

[RyanExpress30]

Hello, was an Angel fan in the 1990's, not so much now.  Favorite Angels players were JT Snow, Garret Anderson, Tim Salmon, and especially Jim Abbott.  I've been reading the forum for a couple years now.

[Stax]

Been an Angels fan since the mid 60's. My dad was a Dodgers fan and I just wanted my own team to root for. Been going to spring training since the mid 90's. Saw Jim Abbott running the bases on his double in Scottsdale. Been to every spring training park in the Cactus League even the ones not in use anymore, Tucson and Chandler. I go to couple dozen Inland Empire 66ers games and have been to every California League park in the southern division.     

[Angelgame2000]

Hello All-

 

Angels fan since 1986.  Glad to be on this site finally.  But I wanted to come on to ask a question that perhaps has been asked a million times here but I really need to know....why did we let go of so much talent like Lackey, Napoli, K-Rod, and on and on.  Now, most of you may think they weren't worth it or they left on their own but I"m not too sure.  I see them performing well on other clubs yet there I was sitting yesterday in section 105 watching a minor league team.  It was frustrating and made me ask myself if our run in the early 2000's was a fluke at a time when there wasn't any dominate ball club (this can be inaccurate but going off what I remember).  What are your thoughts?  It just sucks watching our team lose while other players we should have kept are on good teams.

My name is Bob.....I've been an angel fan since the mid 60's and had season tix from 1979-2012..... now I usually buy a 20 game pack and various single games.

Hello everyone, I am Aris, Promotions Coordinator and On-Field Announcer for Angels High A Team, the Inland Empire 66ers. Glad to be here. 

[Blarg]

Glad to have you here. I try and make as many 66ers games as possible to see our future stars in training. We should have pretty good squad this year. Make sure to keep us informed of any promotions going on at the stadium.

[JustATroutFan]

I'm not an Angels fan but I'm a big fan of Trout and the game of baseball in general. So don't confuse me with being an Angels fan just because I'm a Trout fan.
