If it were not for the 2002 WS, yea, it would be the most cursed team in baseball history. When you consider the 1986 ALCS loss to the Red Sox who had a 3-1 lead and loss Game 5 when Donnie Moore who gave up the home run to Dave Henderson, he ends up committing suicide after it. Then in 1995 the Angels had a 11½-game lead over the Mariners in late August only to lose the lead at the end of the season's tie breaker game. That 1995 Angels team was loaded, but they went into a major slump near the end of the season and missed the post season.
As a Rangers fan, Hamilton holds a special place in my heart. And it breaks my heart to see the relapse and results of that relapse happen. At the same time, Josh knew he felt relapse symptoms and brought it up to Angels management who refused to accommodate his needs. That combined with CJ Wilson's twitter thread about the mismanagement and lack of athlete care and conditioning in the Angels organization just makes me think the Angels have such an easy solution that they refuse to take. Seriously that CJ Wilson thread just explains so much.
CJ Wilson's comments make sense so good point. I'm sorry, Hamilton was an entitled a$$ who decided to blame and hate the fans instead of taking responsibility. I thought Moreno was a fool for signing him but it was a very gracious act and Hamilton crapped all over it. Addicts always blame everyone else and you are enabling that just because you like him. I liked him too but he's responsible for himself.
The Angels are cursed. His name is Arte Moreno. They finally put an end to their curse in 2002 and Arte bought them in 2003. He spends money but not on the most important things. He destroyed their farm system. I read in a book about ghosts and baseball that the players see ghosts in the tunnel they use to get to their parking lot.
One could argue that Tommy La Stella (2019) fell victim to the curse, as well. He was having an awesome season before he fouled a ball off his shin that he didn’t return from that season.
Also it is worth mentioning the Angels of the late 1990's and till 2002 was owned by Disney the company that loves to throw cash around to get the results and when they got that world series they promptly ran for the hills selling the team the next year in 2003. That being to Arte Moreno who is cursed to be the forever owner of the Angels.
Didn’t even mention they didn’t want to move to Anaheim, the Dodgers owner threw a fit and wouldn’t let another be built, because he technically owned the Angel name because he bought the PCL LA Angels and moved them to Salt Lake City so the Dodgers would be the only team in Los Angeles, they didn’t have a choice.
Thanks for the video. It perfectly recaps every horrible thing that has happened to this franchise. It's helped me complete my transformation into a full time Philly/Cards fan. As long as Moreno is owner, this team will never be like 2002.
Great video, GV. But, I think just like my Mets when they were owned by the Wilpons the true curse is the team is owned by a dingbat who doesn't invest in player development.
I got to ask. Did the Angels so willingly decided to allow their team to be portrayed as a total joke in Angels in the Outfield out of desparation for some extra money after one failure after another? Hahaha! It's so funny to think about but it probably had more to do with Disney owning the team at the time.
The epitome of a one hit wonder franchise. They won it once 20+ years ago and haven’t been back since. Haven’t won a playoff game since 2009. Somehow someway the fans are still delusional and can be insufferable when trying to talk down to other teams.
Well, that and they're my ex-girlfriend's original team, so they're cursed like any other team she follows. I can't wait to see how bad Nashville's expansion team will be..
It really is absurd when I hear people say Ohtani might be the best ever. He's going to have missed almost 4 entire years out of 7 pitching due to injuries and he's a .274 lifetime hitter with one season of 100 rbi's or more with exactly 100
@@LandoCali5 you can really tell someone has absolutely no clue or ability to think when they buy into the nonsense that putting pressure on the pitcher and defense by getting hits and stringing hits together as well as keeping rallies going by getting hits doesn't matter, furthermore driving in runs when the opportunity is there. Hits create opportunities for runs, having a high average with risp drives in runs. Analytics is bs that can be manipulated to make a .200 hitter that has a big couple of months and 4 months of garbage look like they're actually a good player.
It makes me laugh 😂they like to use the word Curse I like to say bad management and poor draft picks baseball is mental thinking 🤔 strategy team game, you have to have great pitching and great players that can hit balls in gaps and hit the balls out of the park
Sorry Ohtani is great but not near the best hitter or pitcher ever. You're kidding, right? He does both but it's wrong to even compare him with Babe Ruth who did both things far better than Ohtani. The numbers don't support people saying crap like he's the next Ruth. He does both damn good, but the rest is all hype. We'll see what history says when he's done. Sorry I sound a little jerky; I like your vids & channel. Just don't feel the same about Ohtani & Trout.
Dude Ruth would not do nearly as well in today's league as he did back then. The overall competition is on a totally different level. There were fewer teams, fewer players, and a different approach to the game back then. Pitchers back then in general didn't throw as hard as they do today. Strategy and equipment and training these days is miles ahead of what it was a hundred years ago -- meaning hits were easier to come by. It was easier for a pitcher to throw a whole game and their performance got a lot worse as the game went on. Nowadays we rotate pitchers and hitters are up against a much more difficult series of opponents. Ohtani isn't just a hitter and a pitcher, he's an elite level hitter and an ace pitcher. His arsenal is a lot deeper than Ruth's was and he also likely throws significantly harder than Ruth did. Ohtani has done more two-way full seasons than Ruth at this point and has even surpassed Ruth in a few places. Playing the way Ohtani does genuinely takes more effort and places a lot more strain on him than Ruth did back in the day. "The numbers don't support people saying crap like he's the next Ruth" -- tell me that you've never seen any of the numbers without telling me you've never seen any of the numbers. "He's damn good but it's all hype?" It can't be both. Either he's really damn good or he's not. He's probably not even halfway through his career yet. I'm not saying Ruth isn't the GOAT. I'm saying that calling Ohtani "hype" is enormously misplaced. There's nobody in the game who even comes close to what he does right now, and he's the first player since Ruth to even come close to that.
I appreciate ya guys checking this out!
Do you think the Angels are cursed??
I think they're going to be the new Chicago Cubs and go over 100 years with no World Series victory.

I like the movie Angels in the outfield 1995 good movie for kids to watch
@@StevenMeyer-i7v 🎶 “we can’t win, that would be a sin”
Angels curse is tame in comparison to the Padres
@@therealjaystone2344 you might have a point.

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS SINCE THAT SOB ARTE MORENO CHANGED OUR NAME AND IS TRYING TO MAKE US LA’s TEAM ..THIS IS ORANGE COUNTY ANAHEIM …..
This guy sounds like Michael Cera

and here I thought they were cursed because they’re not the Anaheim Angels anymore

The Angels have the worst owner in baseball Arte Moreno is the curse
you know what a basball curse makes a lot of sense.
Also, do not forget about Don Baylor breaking his femur while catching a ceremonial pitch.
As a semi fan of the team this was facinating. Amazing video!
Great video, GV. But, I think just like my Mets when they were owned by the Wilpons the true curse is the team is owned by a dingbat who doesn't invest in player development.
Dingbat is accurate and hilarious! 😂 Cheers!
The Wilpons-and Selig-were fortunate that Madoff was a standup guy.

Disney owned the Angels when that movie was made. They made the movie.
4:31 They're called the Angels for a reason
Cursed since Moreno bought the team, but especially when they switched their name to Los Angeles Angels and basically dissed Anaheim
...cursed because they have a clueless owner. PERIOD.
Great video
2:57 as a Dolphins fan, this triggered me

At least they have been to and WON the WS! I'm an M's fan, so yeah. The Seattle Mariners are ACTUALLY CURSED!
Sold they souls to beat bonds in 02
Well, that and they're my ex-girlfriend's original team, so they're cursed like any other team she follows. I can't wait to see how bad Nashville's expansion team will be..
Just get to it.

They got hot that year and the giants team was better arguably happened with the 2019 nationals to
