Gene Autry, former movie cowboy, singer, actor and owner of Golden West Broadcasters (inIn xxxx, the Halos again finished fifth in the American League, and pitcher Dean Chance won the Major League Cy Young Award that year. The need for a new stadium became more and more evident. It was thought the Angels would never develop a large fan base playing as tenants of the Dodgers. Also, O'Malley imposed fairly onerous lease conditions on the Angels; for example, he charged them for 50% of all stadium supplies, even though the Angels at the time drew at best halStymied in his attempt to get a new stadium in Los Angeles, Autry looked elsewhere. His first choice for a stadium was the site offered by the city of Long Beach. However, the city insisted the team be renamed the Long Beach Angels, a condition Autry refused to accept. Autry said it's an ideal minor league city for an Angels farm team that didn't last long in the California League and Pacific Coast League. He was able to strike a deal with the suburban city of Anaheim in Orange County 25 miles southeast of downtown L.A. on Interstate 5 adjacent to Disneyland, and construction began on Anaheim Stadium (nicknamed The Big A by Southern Californians), where the Angels moved in xxxx. On September 2, xxxx, team ownership announced the Los Angeles Angels would thenceforth be known as the California Angels, in anticipation of the team's move to Anaheim the following year. They were the second Major League baseball team to be named after an entire state, following the Minnesota Twins. At the time, though they were one of three major league teams in the state of California, the Angels were the only American League team in the state. (Despite the move of the Kansas City Athletics to Oakland in xxxx, the Angels retained their California moniker through xxxx.) They were also the first Major League Baseball team that was originally from California (The Dodgers, as well the Giants were from New York, the A's were from Kansas City, and Philadelphia before that, and the Padres were granted Major League status after the Angels.) But it is thought the team's namesake representing the state included a spring training site in the affluent winter resort city Palm Springs 80 miles to the east where team owner Gene Autry lived, the team played some pre-season and April exhibition games there from its inaugural season (xxxx) for the next In their last year at Chavez Ravine, the Angels drew only 566,727 paying customers. In their xxxx inaugural year in Anaheim, the Angels drew over 1.4 million, leading the American League in attendance. In xxxx, their second year in Anaheim, the Angels contended for the American League pennant as part of a five-team pennant race (along with Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota and eventual winner Boston) before fading in late August, but eventually became the "spoilers" by defeating Detroit at Tiger Stadium in the last game of the regular season to give Boston its first AL pennant in 21 years. In xxxx, the Angels finished third in the AL Western Division and Alex Johnson became the first (and so far only) Angel to win an American LeDuring the xxxxs, although Angel fans endured some mediocre years on the field they also were able to enjoy the heroics of fireballer Nolan Ryan, who tossed four of his seven no-hitters as an Angel.[7] He also set several strikeout records throughout his career, most notably a 383-strikeout mark in xxxx, still a major league record. Ryan was acquired in a trade that sent Jim Fregosi to the Mets. Ryan had been a middle relief pitcher on the "Miracle Mets" team that captured the xxxx World Series. Ryan's feats caused him to be named the Ryan Express, after the xxxx film Von Ryan's Express, which starred Frank Sinatra. His prowess, combined with that of fellow moundsman Frank Tanana, produced the refrain, "Tanana, Ryan and Two Days of Cryin'", a derivative of the refrain, "Spahn and Sain, then pray for rain," coined when Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain anchored the pitching staff of the then BostoIronically, the xxxxs came to a close with the decision by then-general manager Buzzie Bavasi to allow Ryan to become a free agent. At the time, Bavasi remarked that Ryan, whose xxxx record was 16-14 (Ryan was 26-27 under Bavasi), could be replaced "with two pitchers who go 8-7." Bavasi later admitted this was "the worst mistake" he ever made in all his yThe Angels won their first American League West Division championship in xxxx under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angel shortstop who was sent to the New York Mets in xxxx as part of the trade that brought Nolan Ryan to the Angels. Don Baylor became the first designated hitter to win the American League Most Valuable Player award. Other contributors to the team, which featured a powerful offense, were Bert Campaneris, Rod Carew, Dan Ford and Bobby Grich. However, the Angels lost what then was a best 3-out-of-5 ALCS to the Baltimore Orioles, managed by Earl Weaver, three games to one. The Halos won Game 3 at home, scoring twice in the bottom of the 9th inning to shade Baxxxx had been the Angels' last season at the "old" Big A. The Los Angeles Rams football team agreed to move to Anaheim for the xxxx season, with seating increased to almost 65,000. The expansion completely enclosed the stadium, replacing the view of the San Gabriel and Santa Ana Mountains with three decks of gray concrete. In the xxxxs, like many other baseball teams of that era, the Angels learned the difficulties of marketing the team while playing in a multi-purpose facility with a seating capacity too The Angels nearly reached the World Series in the xxxx postseason. Reggie Jackson, who previously starred for the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees, joined the Angels that year and teamed with many holdovers from the xxxx team for the xxxx effort. The team was helmed by manager Gene Mauch, who would also manage the team during their xxxx postseason appearance. After clinching their second AL West championship, the Angels won the first two games of the best-of-five ALCS against the AL East champion Milwaukee Brewers ? then promptly dropped the next three in a row to lose the series. As Steve Bisheff wrote in Tales from the Angels Dugout, ?No team in history had ever come back from an 0-2 deficit to win in a best-of-five series. Of course, no team had ever faced the Angels in that situation.? (At that time, the team with home field advantage played the first two games on the road before hosting the final three games at home, a format that was changed following the xxxx season. In subsequent years, the same has happened to other teams.)large for baseball.ltimore 4-3.ears in baseball."[8]n Braves in the xxxxs.ague batting title.three decades to xxxx.f of the Dodgers' attendance.cluding Los Angeles' KMPC radio and KTLA television), attended the Major League Owners? meeting in St. Louis in xxxx in hopes of winning broadcasting rights for the new team?s games. Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg was initially on the fast track to be the team's first owner, with Bill Veeck as a partner. However, when O'Malley got word of Veeck's involvement, he invoked his exclusive right to operate a major league team in Southern California. In truth, O'Malley wasn't about to compete with Veeck, who was known as a master promoter. After it became obvious that O'Malley would never sign off on the deal as long as Veeck was a part-owner, Greenberg was forced to bow out. After another bid by Chicago insurance executive and future A's owner Charlie Finley failed, Autry was persuaded to make a bid himself. Autry (who had been a minority stockholder in the Angels'Autry named the new franchise the Los Angeles Angels. The origins of the name date back to xxxx, when it was first used by a Los Angeles franchise in the California League. The Angel moniker has always been natural for Los Angeles teams, since The Angels is a literal English translation of the Spanish Los Angeles. It was also a nod to the long-successful PCL team that played in Los Angeles from xxxx through xxxx. O'Malley still owned the rights to the Angels name even after moving the team to Spokane to make way for the Dodgers, so AuThe Angels and their fellow expansionists, the new Washington Senators (now the Texas Rangers) chose players from other American League teams in an expansion draft. In xxxx, the first year of the team?s existence, the Angels finished 70-91 for a .435 winning percentage, still the highest winning percentage ever for a first-year major league expansion team. Moreover, they not only finished 9 games ahead of the Senators, but also 9 games ahead of the Kansas City Athletics. The xxxx Angels featured portly first baseman Steve Bilko, a long-time fan favorite, having played many years with the PCL Angels. Another favorite was the diminutive (5' 5-3/8") center fielder, El Monte native Albie Pearson. The Angels played that inaugural season at Wrigley Field in South Los Angeles, the longtime home of the PCL Angels and also of the syndicAgain, the Halos nearly reached the World Series in the xxxx postseason. Baylor was gone, but among the new additions were American League Rookie of the Year runner-up Wally Joyner and pitcher Chuck Finley. Champions of the AL West for the third time, the Angels faced the AL East champions Boston Red Sox in the ALCS. Leading in the series three games to one, the Angels were one out away from defeating Boston and going to the World Series for the first time in their history. Leading 5-2 in the top of the ninth inning of Game 5, starter Mike Witt surrendered a two-run home run to former Angel Don Baylor, cutting the Angels' lead to 5-4. After reliever Gary Lucas hit Rich Gedman with his first and only pitch, closer Donnie Moore came in to shut the door. Though twice the Angels were one strike away from the Series, Moore gave up a two-out, two-strike, two-run homeAlthough the Angels managed to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth, Henderson again came through for the Red Sox with a sacrifice fly in the 11th, eventually giving Boston a 7-6 victory. Thoroughly shocked, the Angels then travelled to Fenway Park and were blown out in Games 6 and 7 as the Red Sox claimed the pennant. Boston would go on to lose the xxxx World Series in seven games to the New York Mets, a series known for the infamous BilIn the aftermath of the ALCS, Angels fans regarded Henderson's home run off Moore as the point at which their team had been closest to the World Series, and thus Moore became the scapegoat for the Angels' loss of the pennant. Although the fans were hard on him, Moore (who had battled depression in the past) was even harder on himself, and that one pitch to Henderson that turned the tide of the ALCS haunted him for the rest of his days. He would take his own life three years later, claiming to have never gotten over that moment. Moore's suicide was the latest in a series of tragedies that dogged the team (star outfielder Lyman Bostock was shot to death in xxxx while visiting friends in Gary, Indiana) and gave rise to talk of a "hex" on the franchise. The Angels would not qualify for the playoffFor most of the xxxxs, the Angels played sub-.500 baseball, due in no small part to the confusion which reigned at the top. Gene Autry, though holding a controlling interest in the Angels, was in control in name only due to poor health in his advanced years. Autry?s wife Jackie, 20 years his junior, at times seemed to be the decision-maker, and at other times The Walt Disney Company, then a miIn xxxx, the Angels had a new spring training camp in Tempe, Arizona after 31 previous seasons in Palm Springs Stadium in Palm Springs,[11] an idea Autry developed from the days when he stayed in his desert resort home. The Angels hoped a new facility would rejuvenate and improve the roster in the long run. The xxxx and xxxx seasons proved to be worse for the Angels than the previous three, particularly since the xxxx season ended in a baseball player strike that kept Angel fans waiting even longer for the team's fIn xxxx, the Angels suffered the worst collapse in franchise history. In first place in the AL West by 11 games in August, the team again lost key personnel (particularly shortstop Gary DiSarcina) and went on an extended slide during the final stretch run. By season's end, they were in a first-place tie with the surging Seattle Mariners, prompting a one-game playoff for the division title. The Mariners, managed by Lou Piniella and led by pitching ace Randy Johnson, laid a 9?1 drubbing on the Angels in the playoff game, clinching the AL West championship and forcing the Angels and their fans to endure yet another season of heartbreak and bitteIn xxxx, negotiations between the Angels and the city of Anaheim for renovation of Anaheim Stadium ended with an agreement to rehabilitate and downsize the facility into a baseball-only stadium once more. One condition of the stadium agreement was that the Angels could sell naming rights to the renovated stadium, so long as the new name was Another condition of the stadium renovation agreement was that the team name itself be one "containing Anaheim therein." The emerging Disney ownership was itself in the process of renovating and upgrading its aging Disneyland park. Disney hoped to market Anaheim as a "destination city", much the same way it had done with Orlando, Florida, where Walt Disney World was located. Accordingly, the team changed its name again, to the Anaheim Angels onPundits[who?] predicted the Angels to be third-place finishers in the four-team AL West division, and the team played to those expectations with a 6-14 start to the regular season. The Angels, managed by former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia, then went on to win 99 games and earn the American League wildcard berth. The Oakland Athletics won 103 games, putting the Angels in second place in the division. The Halos defeated the AL East champions New York Yankees three games to one in the American League Division Series, ending the Yankees' streak of 4 straight American League pennants, and the Minnesota Twins four games to one in the ALCS, to win the American League pennant for theIn the xxxx World Series they met the Wildcard San Francisco Giants, paced by slugger Barry Bonds, in what ended up being the highest-scoring World Series of all time. San Francisco took Game 1 (4?3), but the Angels followed that up by winning Games 2 (11?10) and 3 (10?4). The Giants came back to win Games 4 (4?3) and 5 (16?4). The turning point in the series came in Game 6. The Angels trailed 5?0 and were eight outs away from elimination before rallying for 3 runs in both the seventh and eighth innings to win 6?5. The Angels then won Game 7, 4?1, to claim their franchise's first and only World SerieIn December xxxx, after a seven-year run as Edison International Field of Anaheim, Edison removed its name from the stadium. The stadium was renamed Angel Stadium of Anaheim, again almost always referred to as simply Angel Stadium or, The Big A, although the original name, Anaheim Stadium, is still used by many locals.

That year, the Angels were a contender for the American League pennant for most of the season, even leading the American League standings on July 4, before finishing in third place, 10 games behind the New York Yankees, who won their 27th American League pennant. On May 5 of that year, Bo Belinsky tossed the first no-hit game in the history of Dodger Stadium/Chavez Ravine, blanking The new name sparked outrage among Anaheim and Los Angeles city leaders, who argued that a team that does not play its home games within the city or county of Los Angeles should not claim to be from Los Angeles, even though the Los Angeles Rams played many years in Anaheim without incident. They also regarded the name a lingual farce, as the English "The Angels" was mixed with the Spanish "Los Angeles," especially in a region where Spanish is so heavily used. With the support of the city of Los Angeles, Disney, and every city in Orange County, the city of Anaheim sued the Angels, claiming the team violated its lease with the city. This also made the Angels the only team in MLB to play its home games outside of the city after which it is named.[12] The team countered that they were in full compliance with the lease, since the lease only stipulated that the team name contain "Anaheim", and the new name was well within the bounds of this stipulation.
