My son works at a grocery store in this neighborhood and has assisted both Mike and Kobe over the past few months along with other minor celebs. So the Trouts have been in this neighborhood for awhile now or they just finally made the sale public.

I believe it was their swing guy in the rotation Daryl Patterson but my 10 year old little leaguer brain could be mistaken. 
I do distinctly remember that when Detroit native and local homegrown idol Willie Horton took his place in left field I remember the fans in the stands behind him began banging the wooden chairs in unison and chanting his name. This was less than a year after the '67 riots when Willie took to the city streets in uniform with a megaphone to try and quell the locals. Only a couple of months before Willie would throw out Lou Brock on a close play at the plate to help seal a WS win over the Cards. 

Same here but at Tiger Stadium. Then 1973 for first visit to Anaheim Stadium.

It’s a take off on a character from the mid 1960’s movie and play, How To Succeed In Business Without Trying. 
J. Pierpont Finch starts off with a company working in the mailroom, and then inexplicably works his way up to a high position in the company.    
Like him, Reagins started off low in the totem pole with the Halos as an intern, before of course eventually moving up to GM.
Like Finch, Reagins was ill equipped for the high up position that he held.

We went to Wrigley the first weekend in May last year. Temperature at first pitch for a 1 pm game was 45 degrees and sunny. I love day baseball but prefer it a tad warmer. 

A quick Wikipedia check and I'm pleasantly surprised to read about Fred Haney's long successful career first as a player with the Tigers and others, then as the manager of the 1958 WS champion Milwaukee Brewers in addition to his Angel tenure as first GM.
