Willy J.

Downs hurt?  What a terrible blow to our team.

Made me proud to an Angel fan.

I was born in 1960 and my dad started taking me to the Big A when I was six.

I'm a lifer.

Another victim of Angel coaching.

The nickname thing is definitely a fly in the ointment.

My name is Willy.  I'm 52 and grew up in Long Beach; thank goodness my dad (may he RIP) hated driving to Ghetto Ravine but he had no problem taking me to Angel games from the time I was six.

So I'm a lifer; good, bad, ugly.  Every day during baseball season the past 40 plus years I've bought a paper and checked the Angel boxscore even when I knew the outcome.

I live in Tulsa, OK now and still follow the team; have MLB network online but can't stay up for every inning of the west coast games but I see what I can.

Enjoy the website; looking forward to being part of it.

Obviously a 'pulled cooter-bone'.
