To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels began life in 1961, joining the American League along with the second incarnation of the Washington Senators. They’ve changed their location designation multiple times, starting in Los Angeles, changing to California in 1966, moving to Anaheim in 1997 awkwardly incorporating both Los Angeles and Anaheim starting in 2005, and finally returning to just Los Angeles in 2016. I’ve seen 227 players wearing the various Angels uniforms in the 41 of their games that I’ve attended live, including the first two games of the 2005 ALCS against the White Sox and Jim Thome’s 500th career home run in 2008.
