I was 10 when the Angels won the world series and it was the first postseason I watched the whole way through. I also watched it with my grandpa who passed away in the coming months. That's when I started to like the Angels and did what most kids do in choosing a team to like that doesn't live near a pro team. I have followed them ever since and love watching them play. Hoping this season ends the same way 2002 did.
I was a casual fan of the team in '78, but became a hardcore fan from the get-go in 1979, which also made it a special thing for me being it was my first full season as an Angels fan, seeing them get to the playoffs. I watched and listened to every game as a nine year old.
