http://www.chungshan.com/blog.php?us...ntry_id=169528, media and science, is nicknamed "˜The City of Angels'. "˜The Angels' it is that once made this city very proud; California's baseball team . 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. With the rich history and quality of baseball they say Angels are still considered to be of the highest calibre of players.
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. Their first year of major league started with a bang of 70-91. It is still the largest winning percentage for a first year major league expansion team. That alone will give an idea of how much money and interest has been put in to the team. 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'. San Gabriel and Santa Ana mountains used to enhance their newly taken over stadium,

In 1982 postseason and 1986 postseason, the Angels were very close to win the World Series,

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. In 1996 in hope of rescuing the Angel's baseball,

This is something that was largely opposed by fans however; the Angels had no choice but to move forward. 2002 registered as the year won their first world title. But later Disney sold Angels to Angels baseball and the team is now called as
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Still after many years the legendary Angels are right up there with the best. Their path was never filled with roses but has been unforgettable and amazing. Keeping up-to-date with Angels baseball and their history should not be a problem with many websites providing enough information about the team.
