You know you grew up watching this movie and got chills...
Angels in the Outfield is still one of my favorites growing up. It had the corny concept that the California Angels were being helped by...well... angels based on a wish of a little kid who thought his dad would come back if the Angels won the pennant. Of course the Angels were owned by Disney at the time so they were allowed to make the movie because of this. Disney also owned the Anaheim Mighty Ducks which produced some more great childhood classics like:
Mighty Ducks... GOLDBERG....
Mighty Ducks 2... seriously there is a hockey team in Trinidad and Tobago?
Ehhh High school hockey?
These were fun sports movies growing up as a kid that we all remembered. Now all we get are instant duds like:
Seriously a 40 year who throws fast and plays like 5 minutes in the big leagues....
Indians do not play baseball unless they are from Cleveland....
Disney you used to be cool....
Angels Stadium:
Coming in at 23 on the list is the older but certainly modernized Angeles Stadium located in Southern Los Angeles in Anaheim. The Angels have played here since 1966 in what sometimes they call the Big A
What makes it cool:
1) Rocks and fountains in left field that go off when the Angels hit a home run.
2) Always perfect weather. They had their first rain out in 20 years the other day. It really doesn't rain in LA.
3) Not the old run down feel of an old stadium
What makes it bleh:
1) No sight lines what so ever
2) No public transportation to get to the stadium.
3) Does not stand out.
4) Still is old no matter what and still fails to catch up on modern ideas.
I would definitely go back....
Next up: Why in Little Havana why??
