Celebrating 60 years of California Angels baseball
1961 Wrigley Field, Los Angeles
1962-1965 Chavez Ravine
1966 - Present Anaheim
The original Anaheim Stadium had a capacity of 43,250. And yes, to me they will always be the California Angels or the Anaheim Angels. They were the Los Angeles Angels when they actually played in Los Angeles.
Plenty of teams don't actually play in the city they represent, but no one gives them crap for it except if it's the Angels, who are named after the city and the original Los Angeles sports franchise, and they also entered the league as Los Angeles, so they are a born and bred L.A team which the Dodgers can never claim.
Long before the Dodgers arrived, the Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels ruled the city. The Dodgers "L.A" hat logo is an old PCL Angels logo.
I watched it while it was under construction. I have never been a baseball or football fan I have been there many times. I ended up working three blocks away in the 80s and when the Lambs were playing there I made up the Lambs owner her custom pink stationary and business cards. Even all the players cards. The cheap Batch never even gave me a free ticket for a game! My company would often go to the base ball games, the Angles comped us tickets. We would walk to the Mexican place across he street for dinner and drinks then walk into the stadium. Fun times! On Sundays people would go to the front parking lot and fly remote control airplanes. I enjoyed that more than the ball games.
If a team has their field in Anahime and plays their games in Anahime how can they be called the Los Angles anything?
I learned to drive in the parking lot and we would fly kites there on the weekend when there were no games. I love this stadium. It feels like a part of me. Lol
Awesome work, man!
I agree with you they should not be called the Los Angeles Angels
Ever since the name change I have not been to a game now will I
I was born in the county of Orange city of Anaheim
Not LA
No LA baseball in the OC
Good stay home you little racist
The MLB Angels are named after the old Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels, and those Angels were named after the city of Los Angeles.
@@NuclearHendrix I am well aware of the history of the team they play in the county of orange if I wanted to be LA fan i would have been a Dodger fan
I grew up knowing them as the California Angels.....
@@NuclearHendrix Using that logic, The Oakland A's should be called the Philadelphia Athletics of Oakland.
Great video.
Thank you
I love the Angels. We lived in Lakewood and people say to me you are from la you need to be a dodger fan. I tell them 25 minute drive to angels stadium and 45 minute drive to dodger stadium. Angels will always be my home team no matter where I live
Same here
For those wondering, Chavez Field is Dodger Stadium. They called it Chavez Field for Angels games
Thank you
taking a trip there soon pretty fuckin hyped
1:43 that stadium looks incredible🏆
That huge halo is 🔥
Anyone know what they ever did with it?
Got to 4:33 thank god they didn’t get rid of that!
They need to move the big "A" back to left field!
I like the old design
Was the Angels' Dodger Stadium home really called "Chavez Field"? I thought it was called Chavez Ravine. Please clarify.
It was I just miss spoke. It was just a slip.
@@CaliforniaUnearthed no worries! Thanks for explaining. Great vid BTW!
Im trying to put a giant A into the whittier hills courtesy of the largest cemetery but i want it on the colima pass so it over looks the ocean and islands, knotts , long beach docks n bridge with cool Murphy ranch ball park in the hills
Been going since 1973. The worst era was when it was "enclosed" for the Rams. Zero breeze and you'd bake in the sun it was miserable to attend a game.
I really miss the original "Big A" when it was Anaheim Stadium. Hated when they enclosed it and hate it even more with the ugly painted colors outside and the rocks behind center field.
"Chavez Field"? C'mon, you must know it's Chavez Ravine or Dodger Stadium. But thanx for the video.
Lol I know, I know it was a slip of the tongue. 😂
Angels were always in California. They first played at the LA colosseum, which was then owned by the city of Los Angeles before being given away to a private university.
Their inaugural season was played at Wrigley Field in L.A., same ballpark of the PCL L.A. Angels. There were even some former PCL Angels on the roster and involved in the throwing out of the first pitch.
They never played at the L.A. Colosseum. First was the old Wrigley Field, then Dodger Stadium until Anaheim Stadium was built.
Angels are named after the city of Angels.
No they're not. They are named after the biblical reference.
@@fatfrostbolt No, we're both right. "Los Angeles" translation is "The Angels" or "The city of Angels". Biblical Angels.
The Angels played in Dodger Stadium from 1962-65. There's no such entity as "Chavez Field." They referred to Dodger Stadium as "Chavez Ravine" while they played there. But it is, and always has been, Dodger Stadium.
I think we all know what he was trying to say ..
So I miss spoke. I am human and make verbal mistakes.
You mean Dodger Stadium! Chavez Ravine is the area the stadium is in.
Angels didn’t play there. They played at the colosseum in LA then moved to Anaheim. Angels were always in California.
The Dodgers played in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 1958-1961 after moving from Brooklyn ⚾
@@benjaminlibertarianscorpio Actually, the Angels were a tenant at Dodger stadium from 1962 to 1965 as they were waiting for Angel Stadium to be built
@@benjaminlibertarianscorpio The Angels never played at the Colosseum. Brush up on your history dude.
So you don’t agree that they went back to what they use to be called
They will always be the California Angels to me
The Angels didn't play in Wrigley Field as was said at 2:00.
Yes they did. Read this recent post. m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02JxAyms6qhFxwkkCTnj2rCdiX17756qey1kbYAAiExYWadEYH9yhofzsax2nMDj4jl&id=100063569738943&mibextid=CDWPTG
They plated at Wrigley field in Los Angeles before moving to Dodger field then to Anaheim.
The covid thing...... LMAO
😂🤣
I can say this at least every single Angels that I’ve meet hates LA in the name we want to be call California Angels or Anaheim Angels but I prefer California
Agree
Chavez Ravine was supposed to become a new affordable housing project. The original Mexican farmers were evicted from their properties. The government uses eminent domain to remove them. Don’t believe Angels played there. They played at the colosseum, which was their home field originally.
The Angels NEVER played at the colosseum. Where the heck did you get your education.
After what I saw & experienced at Chavez Ravine back in 2012 I'll never step in that stinking sespool again !!!
They are the LA Angels!!!!!! I don't care if you disagree
Sorry, California or Anaheim to me. They are not in LA, but you have a right to your opinion and that is fine, so do I.
