The Angels' Ace

Welcome to the sanctuary of a lifelong Angels' fanatic. I am the Angels' Ace, a fireballer, I deliver my thoughts with a perfect combination of precision and power, and I throw a few curveballs for you to think about.

I am proud to say that I am an Angels' fan since about four years old. I attended my first live Angels game when I was nine and I'm proud to say I've been hooked on Halo Hay Fever ever since. I've had the privilege of meeting current Angels owner, Arturo Moreno, a very nice man, we are lucky that he owns the team that we all love so much. I've also had the honor of meeting Hall of Famer, Don Sutton a man who wore the Angels uniform with pride for the short time that he was a Halo. Ideally I would like to share this space with people that have a deep appreciation and love for this team as much as I do. My hope is that this site is the mecca for thoughts, ideas, and opinions about the greatest team in baseball.
