The Anaheim Angels were the second of three teams that showed you don’t have to go out and spend a ridiculous amount of money, like the Yankees and Red Sox do, to win a World Series. In the 2002 playoffs the Angels caught lightning in a bottle and rode their bullpen and timely hitting all the way to a World Series victory. On the way to the trophy they dismissed the Moneyball A’s, the goliath Yankees, and slayed the Giants led by NL MVP Barry Bonds. The Anaheim Angels came off a 2002 World Series win, with a less than adequate season in 2003. The Angels went 77-85 and finished 3rd in the American League West and failed to make the playoffs with basically the same team as the year before. This year the club, led by manager Mike Scioscia for the 4th consecutive year, is determined to get back to the post-season.

In less than two years as owner of the Anaheim Angels, Arte Moreno has done something that neither Gene Autry nor Disney ever could—make the Angels a high-profile team. Sure, the Angels have had their stars and the "Rally Monkey" Angels won the World Series in 2002. But not until Moreno's arrival were the Angels a player for nearly every prominent free agent. These days, even the Angels' proposed name change (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?) is a major hot-stove story.

The Anaheim Angels named their ballpark Edison International Field under 20-year, $50 million agreement with the Edison International utility firm, according to Team Marketing Report, which analyzes naming-rights agreements. And the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals play on Cinergy Field under the terms of a $1 million annual deal.

After years of being in disarray under the management of the Walt Disney Company, the Anaheim Angels were purchased by billboard billionaire Arte Moreno in May 2003. Moreno, using supply side economics, has increased the value of his franchise by boosting attendance via lower ticket and concession prices. But Moreno is no penny-pincher. This off-season he went on a shopping spree, signing four big-name free agents: Vladimir Guerrero, Bartolo Colon, Kelvim Escobar and Jose Guillen. But the team may still need to improve its pitching before it can get back to the World Series.
