TEMPE, Ariz. -- Growing up three miles from Angel Stadium, Danny Espinosa got to watch all the heroes of the 2002 Anaheim Angels championship team: Troy Percival, Garret Anderson, Tim Salmon and Darin Erstad, among others.
Now, he's getting to play at the ballpark where his parents had season tickets.
Espinosa got the break most players only dream about when the Washington Nationals traded him in the offseason to the Los Angeles Angels, where he's slated to be the team's everyday second baseman.
