long time lurker. First (and only) Angels game was in 1977, upper deck of the third base line, vs. the Yankees. Paul Hartzell started, was disappointed, as I wanted to see Nolan Ryan. Grew up in the mid-west, so didn't like how the Angels got Lymon Bostock, Bert Blyleven, Rod Carew. However, Bobby Grich was one of my favorite players, along with Doug DeCinces (grandpa was an Orioles fan), and of course, Nolan.
Became a Cardinal fan when stationed outside StL (they'd let you in free with a military ID, and allow you to bring in soft sided coolers with drinks in plastic bottles). Ride the train in, and you are talking $20 total for a MLB game. Edmonds, Spiezio, Eckstein, Percival, Glaus.
Wish to see the Angels be competitive year in and year out, my favorite AL team.
