The next LA Angels manager to follow Mike Scioscia definitely had big shoes to follow as the Angel skipper of 19 seasons had won more than 1,600 games, won the AL West title five times, been to ALCS three times and won the club’s only World Series in 58 years. Beside all of that Scioscia had a dynamic personality and was well-like by most players and fans.
Brad Ausmus was the first to get the chance to replace Mike Scioscia after being hired in October of 2018. The team looked like it could contend for at least a wild-card spot with a line-up that included Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Justin Upton, Albert Pujols and others.
