Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - History
When translated from Spanish 'Los Angeles' means 'The Angels', so it is only fitting that a Major League Baseball team in LA has taken that name. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, formerly known as just the Anaheim Angels, joined the American League in 1961 and immediately made an impact on the league. They finished with a record of 70-91, a record that still stands as the highest winning percentage for an expansion team.

For many years before the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim took the field, baseball in Los Angeles was only a fantasy, not a reality. The initial talks were to take an existing team and to move them to the west coast. But, each time the talks would end up with everyone standing pat. Then in 1958, the National League beat the American League to the punch when the Brooklyn Dodgers relocated and became the Los Angeles Dodgers. It wasn't long before both leagues agreed to expand with each league getting one new team, the National League brought in the New York Mets and the American League expanded with the Los Angeles Angels.
In recent years the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have seen that most success in their franchises history. Before the 2002 season, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim played in a total of three playoff series and lost in each of them. In 2002 however the team finished with a record of 99-63 and made the playoffs for the first time in 16 years. In the first round they ousted the New York Yankees in four games and then in the second round they eliminated the Minnesota Twins in five to advance to the World Series. In there first ever World Series, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were pitted against slugger Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants. The series was hard fought, but behind players like Troy Glaus, Francisco Rodriguez and John Lackey, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were able to capture their first ever championship. In the years since, the team has become one of the most formidable franchises in the American League.
