History of the Angels

The Los Angeles Angels are one of the oldest and most beloved teams in Major League Baseball. The team was founded in 1961 as an expansion franchise, joining the American League West Division. Since then, they have become a staple of baseball on the west coast and have won 9 division titles, 1 wild card berth, 4 pennants, and 1 World Series Championship (2002).

Despite their relatively short history compared to other MLB franchises like the Yankees or Red Sox, established over 100 years ago, they’ve had some incredible moments that will go down in baseball lore forever. One such moment came during “the Rally Monkey Game,” which took place on June 6th, 2002, against San Francisco Giants when Tim Salmon hit a two-run home run off Robb Nen with two outs left to tie it up 5-5 before Darin Erstad drove home Scott Spiezio for an 8-7 win! This game is remembered fondly by Angels fans everywhere as it sparked what would be one of only three World Series Championships ever won by LA Angels team members since its inception 59 years ago.

Throughout its storied history, there has been no shortage of legendary players wearing Angel's red & white jerseys, including Hall Of Famers Nolan Ryan (who threw his 7th No-Hitter while playing for them), Rod Carew & Reggie Jackson, to name a few! More recently, Mike Trout has emerged as arguably one of greatest players alive today, carrying forward this legacy into new generations with his amazing feats both at bat & out fielding opposing teams' best hitters every night he takes center stage at Angel Stadium located near downtown Anaheim California where thousands upon thousands come each year from far away places around the world see him play!

In conclusion - whether you're looking back through time remembering past heroes or witnessing current-day superstars making magic happen right before your eyes - The Los Angeles Angels will surely provide you with memories that last a lifetime no matter how many seasons pass by between now and then... Go Halos!!
