Suicide Kings
Brief details about Baseball games in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, the largest city in the state of California and home to almost 13 million people, rich in fashion, business, media and science, is nicknamed ‘The City of Angels’. In this very proud city there was always a bunch of men in red known as California’s baseball team who contributed to the popularity of the city . As a member of the Western Division of Major Baseball’s American League they have been based in Angel’s Stadium of Anaheim since 1966. They are still one of the biggest and popular baseball teams in USA and with their long history they are one of the oldest as well.
Their symbol the letter ‘A’ with a circle on top giving it an angelic look is very popular among almost every sports lover in USA. In their first year of existence in 1961 they finished 70-91. It is still the largest winning percentage for a first year major league expansion team. The interest and the money that has been put in to all those efforts have been immense. They are considered as all time strikeout kings in major leagues and Nolan Ryan is one of their biggest assets.
Until they moved to Anaheim in 1965 they were known as ‘Los Angeles Angels’ . They were given a new twist with the change of name to ‘California Angels’. From then on they took over the Anaheim stadium, with the view of San Gabriel and Santa Ana Mountains which was once known as one of the most attractive stadiums in the United States. But with the expansions been done and regular upgrades to the stadium, it has become more majestic and bigger in concrete..
Had the Angels not been just one strike away from winning they would have won the 1986 and 1982 World series.So Angels baseball underwent a decade of frustration without being able to give the final punch although they could be happy with the performances. Then began a decade where everything went wrong for the Angels . The team lost many important individuals to murders and suicides; their bus met with an accident injuring many of their players and it was bad news all the way. It was even said that some sort of a curse has been put in the team. Many believed that the Angels baseball stadium was under a curse because it was built on an ancient Indian burial ground. Walt Disney was brave enough to take control of Angels in the middle of a difficult period for the team. Then they were given a new name by the Disney Company as ‘Anaheim Angels’. With all the disappointments and thumbs downs by their fans The Angels moved on with the energy powered by Disney. In 2002 they won their first world title. The name was again changed to Los Angeles Angels after Angels baseball took over the ownership from Disney.
Still after many years the legendary Angels are right up there with the best. Without doubt Angels baseball have paved a path to legend. Keeping up-to-date with Angels baseball and their history should not be a problem with many websites providing enough information about the team.
