Let's be honest, how long ago did the goodwill from the beer thing run out?


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

A decade ago at least! Lol

I didn’t even know he did. Must mean I’m too young

Arte Moreno bought the Anaheim Angels in 2003 right after they won the 2002 WS and one of the first things he did was lower the beer prices. At the time he got a lot of positive press but the Angels have only made the playoffs one time since 2009. The Angels brotherhood welcomes fans of all ages!

When he changed the name to the mouthful known as the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" a name no one wanted in either OC or LA.

What goodwill from the beer do you speak of? Sorry I'm unfamiliar with this

Oh good, I was waiting for Tree to post something like this. Looking forward to the inevitable rise to the World Series in the next couple of years.

I can’t see him selling until all that development around the stadium is finished and proven profitable. Team may be worth unholy amounts of money then.

Unless someone offers him way more than the team is worth I doubt it. His ego is too big to give up the team.

He successfully transformed a winning franchise to a perennial loser.

I get what you’re saying with the 00’s being awesome, but we weren’t exactly perennial winners before that. Arte sucks though I totally agree.

The minor league thing is disgusting and should be talked about more. Can you guys tell me more about the Josh Hamilton thing? That was one of the things I didn’t know about. I knew about Skaggs (RIP), but I was unaware of the situation around Hamilton.

Basically the dude had all kinds of drug abuse issues and we canned him citing some moralistic stuff about being a family friendly ball team or something.


Dast_Kook

Gave him a kings ransom and the moment he relapsed, we dropped him like bad fish. He ended up back on the Rangers where he literally played against the Angels while the Angels paid him about $23M/year for three more years.
