The Angels demons featuring Nick Adenhart and Tyler Skaggs

My little brother. That's how I feel about the Angels. Ever since I was a little boy, I was going to Angel Stadium. Reggie Jackson, Wally Joyner, Doug Descinces, Chuck Finley, Jim Abbott, Donnie Moore, and Dick Schofield got me started. I was already a Dodger fan by that point. Apologies to Angel fans. I have no father, and so I became a fan of the team I watched in Los Angeles county as a child. I say L.A. County because people will tell me I didn't live in Los Angeles. I don't care, do you care? I digress but feel the need to explain sometimes. I didn't like baseball at all for a while as a child. When I turned to the few channels that were available in 1982 if baseball was on instead of cartoons I was upset! What kid wouldn't be. While I appreciated Don Baylor, Davey Lopes, Dusty Baker, Rick Monday, Fernando Valenzuela, Mike Soscia, Davey Lopes, Dave Stewart and others? When a 6 year old kid gets home from school, he wants cartoons and snacks. Not a baseball game. I'm probably wrong. Most dad's were throwing the ball with their sons. I didn't know what baseball was truly, until I really looked at the Dodger logo on those home whites.

I'm not trying to prove my worthiness or allegiance to either one. Or, maybe I am. I don't know, actually. I'm a true blue Dodger fan. that's my point. I am in no way trying to push myself into a sad story regarding the Angels. I'm just trying to say that I'm sympathetic and empathetic to their loss. The Angels lost another player. Both times seemed like the player was a really good person, that had enormous potential. Nick Adenhart around 10 years ago and now Tyler Skaggs. Nothing else I can say is relevant.
