Northeast South Central L.A. (The Ghetto/Barrio)
Slauson and Santa Fe, behind the Andy Super Burger.
Long Beach, CA
I grew up in OC and got to see Nolan, Carew, etc. Took a long break from the horrid Angels in the late ‘80s-most of the ‘90s. Got rejuvenated after meeting another lonely Angels fan in LA (the soon-to-be Rev) in 2000.
Hawaii
I live on Oahu.
I have family friends in Irvine, and they took us to an Angels game during one of our visits. The Halos won, 11-1 (chicken wings!), since then I’ve become a die-hard Angels fan.

Aloha
I was born in Hawaii (Honolulu), so I get a silly pride about seeing folks from there on HH. I’m a total haoli culturally but of course I’d like to think of myself as a true kama’aina.
I was
born there as well.

Central O`ahu
Born in Cali, but raised in the Aloha State for 40+ years. Pidgin is my first language.
love your moniker
A friend of mine who hangs with the Angels told Napoli about that HH nickname, and he laughed and said he dug it.
None of the above.
Let’s make it interesting. Can you guess where I have been blogging from (ps no help from Rev).
Hint
It is not a Country or a US State.

i think "chamorro" is an cultural/linguistic term
and “guamanian” is a geographical one. so technically, yes, i should’ve used “chamorro”.
wow
i just re-read my comment and realized that i sounded like a big dick.
sorry man, i wasn’t trying to be one.
john RIP samo
It can get confusing
Everyone who claims Guam as thier home are Guamanians. Chomorro’s are the indigenous group on Guam. Lots of Filipinos, white statesiders, korean, vietnamese, and others. I guess since I wasn’t born here, I consider myself more mainlander than Guamanian. My wife is Chomorro and Guamanian. Anyone born on Guam is a full fledged US citizen.

Been a fan since I saw them beat the Sox when I was an impressionable young age. I love watching day games from at work (my school’s library) and I often get weird looks when I pound the desk after double plays.

Just curious, are you actually Danish? How does a Dane become not just a baseball fan but an Angels fan to boot?
Ever heard of Olaf Henriksen?
Not actually Danish, no
Born and bred in SoCal. But I live in Copenhagen now. Hadn’t heard of Henriksen (not a Sox Fan), but it was an interesting read. Thanks.

Grew up in Fullerton and Placentia. First game and the start of my career as a Halo Fan….1971.

Sea-at-ha-ha-ha that's funny.
By the way
The Mariner fans in Portland are peachy keen also. Lots of Red Sux fans. Not sure how that happens oh well.
Sea-at-ha-ha-ha that's funny.
How it happens:
Massmurderchewshit is the lousiest place on earth to live if you are not a blue-blazer prep school suckass spawn of the slavetrading elite that founded the “colony” back in simpler, raw sewage times. So they get out of hell, move to the West Coast, but carry a memento of their “heritage” with a Scarlet B – seeing as all of their Grandmothers took the Scarlet “A” way back when…
So I take it...
your not a sitting member of the Massachusetts tourism board?
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Right now,
The Basement Computer Labs at Chapman University.
When I lived on campus I liked to look at the lights on the Big A from the top of the parking structure.
Chapman College 1974-1976
When I attended Chapman it was a college not a university. My last semester there (fall 1976) I lived in the Davis Apartments. Several years before I attended Chapman a football player died either in a game or a practice. His parents gave an endowment to Chapman College with the stipulation that there be no football team. It was not until this deceased player’s parents died that Chapman resurrected its football program. I recall during my first month at Chapman (September 1974) going to the Big A to see Nolan Ryan defeat Kansas City and the Chisox.
Currently I live and blog from east Orange. The nearest major intersection is Chapman and Jamboree. I have also blogged on Halos Heaven from Kathmandu (Nepal), Manali (India), Phoenix and Atlanta.
Oh, and got to add to that...
I was a baseball fan way before I moved, even played it (and it’s not very popular) in the Netherlands for several years.
City of Orange, CA.
Old Towne Orange to be exact.

Over the air in the Conejo Valley. I believe the local cable companies there carry it as well.
Angels fan since '67
Yeah, we get Channel 13 KCOP
I live Thousand Oaks and we even get the ones on the obscure channel Arte hooked up with last year to get the extra 10 games televised.
Yes, we get KCOP but KLAA sucks at night.
Very static-y. I do enjoy the “Sports Lodge” on 830 in the mornings.

Got to love seeing vlad on every bus and various billboards around here. I also see more people wearing Angels hats around LA and the Valley.

I go to school at UCSD, and I wish the Angel games weren’t blacked out on FSN down here dammit. I don’t get it, the games are broadcast on San Diego ESPN Radio 800 and i can sometimes get 830 down here, why couldn’t they show the Halos on FSN? Especially when the Padres are in their own league and have their own channel.
I wonder if there’s a way to get the games on television down here, any ideas?
