We’ve known for years that at some point, the wheels would finally fall off the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
And on Dec. 11, months after a 73 win season, it finally happened. Two-time MVP and two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani drove 30 minutes up US-101 to Dodger Stadium and signed a record-setting contract. A once-in-a-generation talent did his rookie bid in Anaheim, then departed for greener, er, bluer pastures.
Meanwhile, Angels ownership seems delusional as ever and keeps staying the course while Mike Trout continues to trend more towards being the best player to never win a World Series, let alone compete in one!
