And then Reggie Willits came to play in 07. I was reading something on the register dot com and the writer phrased something like “Willits was hitting bullets all over the field”.

Thus, ReggieBullits (how clever, spelling Bullets like Willits…harharhar).

Is it March yet?

but i typo’d

and then when we switched to new one, i didnt know how to transfer so i just made a new handle, hence 2.0

NOT a gynocologist.

Old guy, therefore old school. Wear your pants to the knnes, and pull up your colors, stretching the STIRRUPS.

If you ain’t showing your stirrups, you are out of uniform.

The fact that it might make the occasional lady blogger here flinch is merely a bonus.

First some background. I started following the site in April, but didn’t start posting until early August. For a couple of months, I was thinking of possible screen names, and hadcome up with several possibilities. Some time in May, someone in a game post made an error and wrote “Soth” instead of “Sosh”. So, the mistaken name for Scioscia took hold on HH.
The second source was my daughter, who is now 21 years old. She first played softball when she was around 7-8 years old…at a time when her font teeth had fallen out. She could not say softball. It came out “sothball”…or something close. So, when comtemplating a screen name, “sothball” seemed to work in 2 ways. It makes me think of the Angel way to play baseball, and it reminds me of some great times with my daughter.

Last name is Mayhood. Had nickname Mayhem…which turned into mayhem in the hood sometime around high school;

My first name is Norm.

I work for Daktronics.

Halogens are my favorite elements.

But seriously, I’m sure you can all figure it out.

Kokey= in high school we had these packs of animal cookies.. and in Physics class which is right after lunch i would always eat the cookies. But i only ate the Elephant and his name was Kokey.. My physics teacher started calling me kokey.

and 8. well for kobe bryant #8. His first number

I’m 6ft tall, 300+ and I love kustom kulture, Exotica and Tikiana. In Hawaiian the word refers to a priest, sorcerer or healer but it modern times it’s come to mean a leader or the best at something.

A friend of mine decidedly nicknamed me Zoe a decade ago. Shortly after that, I began a three year college radio career, doing a weekly industrial show I called “The Necrobotic Dance Party.” Since my music was a subgenre of the post-punk, gothic, dark variety I fashioned the DJ name Zoe Necrosis. Now to this day I still use said name for my podcast, blogging, all purpose interweb littering.

Tried to think of something baseball-related and clever. First considered using HollyWood, which was my Little League nickname (you figure it out—stemmed from the latter word), but must’ve thought nobody else would get that I wasn’t referring to the city…

My first handle on HHv.1.0 was actually nomahhh, but I haven’t used that for eons.

I was “halofan” and then they promoted me to this blog from my 2003/04 livejournal and it was like being elevated to the priesthood, so that is where the “Reverend” part comes in.

end.

I wanted a name that indicated that without using his actual name in my name, so I chose to use his uniform number. I thought this name up about 30 seconds before I pushed the button to join HH about two years ago.

nothing special, just an old handle from high school, you know, when the whole numbers instead of letters was still cool. lol.

Back in ’96 I moved to Romania as a missionary/pastor/humanitarian aid worker… Thought maybe Rev Angelfan woulda been an appropriate name but I guess the Rev was already taken;) Anyway not being able to see a single Angel game makes me Stuck here in Romania… Besides not seeing Angels Baseball i enjoy it here, but that is the hard part… No angels…. When I discovered this blog last season i was stoked to connect… Like a caveman discovering fire!!!

I almost called him that when I met him, since I had a habit of calling him that. Since that time I’ve just stuck with Figgy.

Hawaii- where I live
HaloFan- pretty self-explanatory
35- It was cause my fav Angel was Kotch, but it’s doesn’t really apply anymore…

Perhaps the least liked screen name on HH.

I moved to Hawaii in october of 2002 and back home(huntington/newport beach) in april of 2004. The spirit of aloha is a very real thing and I adopted it as a source of spiritual guidance. I surf, fish, dive, and pretty much live the aloha life. I miss Hawaii but love being back with my family and going to angel games more. I love “Blazing Saddles” and thats where my signature comes from

Five is part of another nom de plum I use.

Made up the name acuda a when I was young and have used that name in video games such as Halo, Blitz (old school on playstation).

27 is of course for VLAD. He is the only reason why I fell in love with baseball. I was a HARD CORE football fan back in the day. My favorit team is the Tampa Bay Bucs. One day I was chillin at home board out of my mind and nothing was on TV (didnt have cable till 2005). I was flippin through channels and came across an Angels game on CH. 9 I think it was back in 2004. Vlad was batting and I stopped flipping channels and watched the rest of the game. I didnt even know any of the players on the team but I thought to myself, This dude is bad ass(2HRs that game), I think I could watch more of this. And that is when I fell in love with Baseball. Now I dont even watch football every week, unless the bucs are playing then I’ll catch part of the game.

comes from the fact I have a very big head, not talking about ego or anything (though I do have a bit of an ego), but I wear a hat size of 7&7/8ths… so big I have to specially order hats online, stores don’t carry hats big enough for me…

halofan – obvious enough same as the 4life part. For me the reason it means more than just that is because ‘95 was the year I started becoming a serious fan (I was only 12, I vaguely remembered ’91, but that was mostly because of Jim Abbott). A collapse like that you would think we stray a child from loving this team, but, hear I stand today as devoted as ever to my team in red. So I’m a Halo Fan 4 Life. not connected to the video game in anyway.

My real name is Jared, but people call me Red.
My birthday is January 14th, so there’s the 114.

Also red 114 is some sort of carcinogenic acid or something, which really means nothing, but it goes well with my name and seems destructive, which I like for some reason.

English bloke – thought I’d confess to my origins before the accuracy of my spelling gave it away…

Pretty basic
I attend princeton university (jersey sucks) and i am class of 11
and i love the halos

ps
doug decinces’s daughter was my pe teacher

my first names kevin and i got the nickname kevin sorbo (actor who played hercules) playing high school soccer, later cut short to just sorbo. and the 182 comes from my favorite band, blink 182

I live in Wisconsin (yawn).

It was WiAngelFan, but when the site changed over I couldn’t remember if it was Angel or Halo. Guessed wrong.

An ode to my favorite calcio squad (soccer), Fiorentina, who wear Purple and as such are nicknamed “La Viola” in Italian, and my favorite baseball squad, the Angels, who are nicknamed…..you get the point.

Forza Viola!
Forza Halos!

is just a shortening of my name

Bill Terhune – billhune

RIC is a common abbreviation for Richmond, Virginia. Since I am an Angel fan from Richmond, I figured that makes sense as a user name. Also, being from Virginia I thought a cool icon/avatar/whatever would be to use a picture of when Joe Saunders was pitching with a Virginia Tech cap on.

 Well, I kind of picked this randomly. Even as a die-hard Halos fan, I’m not the biggest fan of Vlad. Sure, I think he’s awesome , but, my favorite player before this season on the Angels was Kotch(It’s kinda sad to see him struggling in ATL). I play first base, so yeah, I like most first basemen on the Angels. Anyway, kotch IS my man sounds kind of gay, so yeah, there came the birth of vlad IS my man.

rm = Rocky Mountains. I moved from OC to Denver 5 yrs ago. Can’t support the Rockies
halofan = Been a fan since 1987

Thrill rhymes with Will :)

and no, I’m not a fan of Will Clark.

and I think I may have been born in the wrong century

It means, “on the left hand of God”, which was to mean yoou were not favored with the Man. I am left handed and when I was young my great grandmother, believing that left handers were evil, would tie my left arm behind my back and make me use my right arm. Didn’t work, still left handed and still like to be devious at times.

First name is John

Im obsessed with this team

I am JOHNNY ANGEL!!

My parents named me Seth. And I added a Y.

Just my name, don’t wear it out.

to high school. My # in high school was 10 and my favorite player david eckstein was 22 so it came together. When Eck left it just stayed with me. I still miss the guy especially this post season, but I will not get into it.

White running back in college I was blessed with the quickness and vision of Barry Sanders and the speed of the late Colonel Sanders. I once cutback 9 times on a 40 yard run, and juked the same defensive end twice. When we watched the film and coach drew a line on the screeen of my path to the endzone, it was all jagged and looked like a lightning bolt.

I’m a pilot with the Navy’s stunt-flying/exhibition team who speaks with a stereotypically heavy Asian-American accent and can’t pronounce (or type) the letter “L”.

Either that, or I like the Brewers, beer, and the Angels. You guess which one is the true story.

i’m the ONLY angel fan up here in this pristine part of new york state. i’m surrounded by yank, met and, sox fans. i stick out like a sore thumb. anyone looking for a vacation check us out…www.northwoodsinnresort.com

My first name is Jim…

I am a music professor and I am primarily a composer – so…

JimMusComp…

I’ve had that handle at various places since I joined AOL in 1994 or so…

Yes, we called ourselves Gorbachav. And there were five of us. So this has become my name for various things.

Lived in SoCal for 20 yers before moving out to Iowa. All is not lost, however. The Angels have a low-A affiliate called the Kernels about 45 minutes away.

I like rhymes, ditties, music, and ALLITERATIONS.

An exposure to Agent Orange got me out of Vietnam. Therefor… Happy for Agent Orange (with a typo).

Back in the days when the AIM was the hippest way for middle schoolers to communicate I was speaking with one of my friends. We had been friends in real life for some time but had only recently become “buddies.” I mentioned that when on the AIM I was a “typing fiend”

Later when I was at home & on the computer, I found that TheTypingFiend was available as a screenname and I took it as my primary identity on the internets.

Upon being admitted through the red gates of Halos Heaven I inscribed my name in the good book and have visited thousands of times since.

the angel mascots were 2 uniform clad bears named Clutch and Scoop.

remember the good ‘ol days when you could walk up to the Big A on game day and get great seats any night of the week? i looked back on attendance records during 2002 and it made me nostalgic for the angels i grew up with. we were in the middle of a tight pennant race (we were 1 game back in the Div.) with the A’s when they came to town for a 4 game series on Sept. 9th. the angels home attendance record for those games were as follows….
Game 1 = 28,145
Game 2 = 35,323
Game 3 = 34,302
Game 4 = 31,304
all 4 of these games were up from 2002’s attendance avg. of 28,063 a game. a week later the angels were drawing 43,000+ and have been ever since. the bandwagon fans that jumped on board that october have served their purpose by proving anaheim a viable baseball town for a new owner and big name players, but i still miss the good ’ol days.

The source of Halo is obvious. And my family is Dutch; my dad was born in Amsterdam in ‘36, survived the Nazis and came out here in the late 60’s. First generation American, baby!

When my Dad used to take me to games as a kid we would always sit all the way up in the upper decks. For some reason i haven’t really upgraded and still love to sit all the way up in the stadium so i came up with the name my nose bleeds.

I was looking for a nickname for a bulletin board, and “red floyd” just kind of came to me. And yes, it is a play on “Pink Floyd”.

I’ve given up on some of my “red floyd” personality idiosyncracies, though… For years, I never used capital letters when writing as red floyd.

I just like the animal.

40 was his number for the younger HH members

Mononucleosis.

Nothing more to it.

But the name is rather :(, now that Casey is with the Braves.

Mantra of the ’79 Angels (my fave old-school Halos team), revived in 2002, and now the mantra forever.

(Hey Barack, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer in the morning.)

Because I thought I was the only one.

Turns out there are about five of us (or at least were this time last week)

Name given to me by historians. Was once a king and now I have eternal life. Oh, and their is a guy on the angels with the same first name who likes to impale baseballs with his bat.

Representing the Angels from New Orleans. Also, some buddies of mine started calling me Big Easy when I told them I was moving here. Inspiration may have been the copious amount of gin and tonic we drank that night, or due to me being a big laid back dude, indifferent to the world…except when watching Angels baseball.

back in 1990 or so, and “scarecrow” was taken. The next bird that came to mind was a duck, which is great, because no one’s ever seen a scareduck.

Boring.

I know.

Plus I loved to steal bases in little league though it was easy considering the pitchers usually threw wild pitches every 3rd pitch.

cause my name is dan and it sounded clever or at least more so than Dangels. Then when the format switched I imported the handle I used on Global Futbol. Ever since the team added Los Angeles to the name, ‘Danaheim’ sounded dated to me. Match Day is a term more commonly used overseas. I think it sounds cool though it would be difficult to use for baseball. 5 was my lacrosse number. Go Blue Devils.

It’s the way people used to screw up spelling my name when I was younger, but backwards, and my DOB

TMAT- The Man About Town
Personally, I like to think of myself as someone who is able to observe and report the “goings on” in my city and convey it to those who will never, ever understand this fucking place!

I was going to post “The Lore of the Rally Manatee” after our heart-wrenching loss this year, but I’ve been too busy. So, here’s my chance.

I started out as “Jesus Hates the Yankees” but my wife said that was too negative, and that I should focus on the Angels. After LAST season’s pathetic defeat at the hands of those whose name shant be uttered, I was in a discussion with my buddy on the long drive back up from game 3. We were downtrodden, grasping for ideas as to what went wrong (sounds eerily similar to this year, eh?). After going back and forth about who needs to be fired and who needs to be signed, I said the real problem is the Rally Monkey had lost his effectiveness. I said we need a new rally animal to get the fans going, like a Rally Manatee. It broke the depressing mood, and we had a good laugh. So, I changed my name to that, hoping it would change our luck this season. I guess it didn’t work.

a glass is half empty guy. When I saw Frankie come in this year, I didn’t wait anxiously for him to break his record, I anticipated the nearly-inevitable rollercoaster ride that was common in the 9th. Perhaps thats how I see the rest of the team… mostly through shit-colored glasses.

is my last name, my nickname and the number 1. boring i know

was and still is my favorite Angel. It is truly sad that he doesn’t make more appearances at our stadium.

YOU ARE THE MAN, BRIAN!

Hell, still not a better band for your buck!! Like the Angels!

Mine is Roy Halladay’s nickname Doc and Escobar’s last name. Plus i want to b a doctor and the columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar. Im drug free. And 07 because John Elway is my childhood hero.

It all really came from wanting a better fantasy team name. I live in Westminster but the other side of the wall in my cul-de-sac is Midway City. It’s where I went to elementary school.

Yes We Can and I were playing in an indie rock that band that toured. After a year or so I left the band. On the next tour, without me, someone asked “What happened Cupie Lazano?”

Hence, Cupie was born.

I debated whether sharing the origin of my user name was even worth it. I mean, its pretty damn obvious:

Bruin- because I like bears.

Halo- the though of a bear wearing a halo makes me laugh.

angelsown is gamer speak meaning they own everything or dominate.
34 is the late, great Walter Payton’s jersey number.
My birthday is Feb. 17, so the 17 comes from my birthday.

Name + James Taylor song Handyman

with Harvey’s stache???? I am a youngin…born in ‘83…the earliest closer I remember was Harvey and whatever year I came to consciousness of what baseball was and started lovin’ the Halos…he was dominating.

AND….guess who still has it …now for the Asheville Tourists in Class A ball! :

get em!

Which leads me to think: The Angels have had a damn awesome legacy of closers in my lifetime. Harvey, Lee Smith, Percy, Frankie…

Is pretty much self explanatory, before joining HH, I figured HaloFan4life, Haloforlife etc. would be spoken for, hence Halofolife. Besides the phonetic spelling is kinda cool in my opinion.

I started out with the very lame “Bobblehead” and quickly decided to change it up. I wanted a name to showcase an exciting, on-the-field action that makes the game worth watching, and a Rory call was ringing in my head. Erstad makes a diving catch….
