Angels History: Where Were You?

By Rev Halofan Updated

The Angels now have a nice legacy of division titles and postseason appearances with some highs and lows, triumphs and tragedies. The way it looks today, the years ahead should be bringing us at least a few more of these moments. So before we have too many titles for each one to have mattered, it is time for us to have a place where we discuss where each of us was and what we were doing when the great Angels accomplishments occurred.

Tell us your connection to these games...

Were you there to see them live? Did you watch them on television, or find out the next day at school? Did you share the ecstasy of triumph that night with someone who has since passed on? Was it something that mattered more because of where your life was at that moment? Baseball allows us to remember, and we are all friends here, so tell us, what were you doing and where were you when:

  1. Tuesday, 9/25/79: Kansas City Royals @ Anaheim Stadium, Night Game, Angels Win 4-1
  2. Saturday, 10/02/82: Texas Rangers @ Anaheim Stadium, Day Game, Angels Win 6-4
  3. Friday, 9/26/86: Texas Rangers @ Anaheim Stadium, Night Game, Angels Win 8-3

  5. Saturday, 10/02/04: Oakland Athletics @ Network Associates Coliseum, Day Game, Angels Win 5-4
