I was born at Anaheim Memorial Hospital in 1962, but being the daughter of a career Navy man meant we left Anaheim and moved to Hawaii and then settled in the Bay Area. During the 70s, I was an A's fan and still remember being ushered into the cafeteria in grammar school to watch the playoffs. Watching the A's in the 70s led me to my love of the game.
In 1981, I moved back to Anaheim and was living with my aunt and uncle who had season tickets in the 12th row behind the Angels dugout. Living 5 minutes from the stadium and attending nearly every home game and listening to the away games on the radio over the next 2 seasons hooked me for life. I've since raised 2 boys and yes, they are both Angel's fans!!
2002 was magical. Midway through the season, I painted a 3 ft high red A complete with a halo on my living room window, and it is still there. Guess I'm waiting for the magic to return. Please let it happen before I die!!!
