The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, formerly known as the Anaheim Angels and previously known as the California Angels, have not been known to be one of the most successful baseball teams by any means. They are known to many as a team who has choked in the playoffs numerous times, been the victims of personal tragedies, been plain mediocre, and been a part of several late season collapses. However, this all changed just a mere few years ago.

The late 1990s brought home several talented players such as Darrin Erstad, Jim Edmonds, Tim Salom, and Garrett Anderson. 1995 seemed to be the year of the Angels; however, the Seattle Mariners played the position of spoilers. The Anaheim Angels at times felt as unlucky as the Chicago Cubs or Boston Red Sox.
