About Los Angeles Angels
The Los Angeles Angels have made their home in Anaheim since 1966, and Angel Stadium remains one of baseball's most recognizable addresses. Known simply as "The Big A," the ballpark pairs classic California ease with signature touches like the California Spectacular in center field, a formation of artificial rocks with a running waterfall that launches fireworks before every game and after every Angels home run and home win. Competing in the American League West, the Halos draw a devoted Southern California crowd, and Angels tickets are a summer tradition for families across the region.
The franchise arrived in 1961, when Gene Autry founded the Angels as one of MLB's first two expansion teams and the first to originate in California. The name carries real history: it descends from the old Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels, and Los Angeles itself translates to "the angels" in Spanish. The club has answered to several names along the way, playing as the California Angels and the Anaheim Angels before settling back into the Los Angeles Angels. Early decades brought close calls, with the 1982 and 1986 seasons each ending one game short of the World Series, until the 2002 club grabbed a wild card berth under manager Mike Scioscia and turned it into the franchise's first pennant and first championship.
The spotlight has stayed on Anaheim in the modern era. Albert Pujols signed in 2012, and the rise of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani carried the franchise onto the international stage, with the two combining for five AL MVP awards in an Angels uniform. The fan base has matched that star power. From 2003 through 2019 the Angels drew more than three million fans per season, second in MLB only to the New York Yankees over that stretch, and the crowd at Angel Stadium keeps showing up with a deep knowledge of the game and a loyalty that runs generations deep.

It went national during the 2002 World Series.
