I told the story in the "how did yu become an Angels fan", but, ling story short, my Godfather pitched for the Yankees in the 50s, retired, moved to Buena Park and would take to me Angel games when I was little. He not only taught me to love the Angels (his second team, he was a Yankee after all), but also taught me to hatef The Dodgers. It was the 70s. Bobby Grich was my favorite player.
