Editor’s note: For Halloween, please enjoy (or share in our misery) this scary piece on some of the misfortune both Anaheim teams have endured over the past decade. Boo.
Something wicked this way comes…For the City of Anaheim itself is an entity. A living breathing thing and it doesn’t like to be insulted. Think of Anaheim as maybe...IT from the Stephen King novels. The city lures you in with its red balloons of sunbeams and palm trees, entertainment atmosphere, cute little mouse ears, and lucrative contracts with up-and-coming teams. However there lurks a spectre: Insult Anaheim at your peril and see what befalls you.
