STRIKE AUTHORIZED FOR ANGEL STADIUM FOOD WORKERS
Nice folks. Some of them are sooooooo SSSLLLLLOOOOOOWWWW. Ushers/Janitors/Ticket Sellers an Takers all authorized a strike and now the ARAMark employees have voted to follow suit. So if they all go on strike does it mean that we will get into games for free, sit where we want and have free food?

On this date in baseball history:

1985: Don Baylor of the New York Yankees set an American League record when he was hit by a pitch for the 190th time in his career. Baylor was struck by California Angels pitcher Kirk McCaskill in the first inning, breaking the old mark of 189 set by Minnie Minoso.

2000: Anaheim's Darin Erstad went 3-for-5 to reach 200 hits faster than any player in 65 years as the Angels defeated Toronto 9-4. Ducky Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals did it in 131 games in 1935.
