New to the forum and appreciate the invite by Chuck. I'm long time Angels fan with earliest memories going to games during '77-'78 seasons with Joe Rudi, Frank Tanana, Nolan Ryan, and company. My father and I were both die hard fans of the Angels while my younger brother latched on to the Cubs for some reason. Grew up in Laguna Hills, spent many March weekends with my family as at Angel Stadium (at the Polo Grounds) in Palm Springs during 70's/80's. After moving out in the 90's, dad, brother, and I continued our spring training traditions with road trips to Tempe. We did that even after my dad was diagnosed with ALS in '99 all the way through '02 spring training. Celebrated Angels title with my dad in '02 and he passed away the following February.
I consider myself an Angels apologist so you can throw garbage at me and I'm recycle it into some form of optimism for the club. You can follow me on Twitter @_HaloLife where I share my thoughts as well as my writing and weekly Angels blogs at www.primetimesportstalk.com. I'll be sure to begin posting my weekly updates here as well. Excited to be part of AngelsWin.com community moving forward.
