FanFest at Angels Stadium

Sorry so late with pictures and comments of this event. I have been extremely busy. I arrived around 10 to FanFest. There were 4 long lines in different areas for autographs. There were not too many vendors or rides for kids. But the few vendors that were there, had great stuff on display. And the giveaways were great also. If  there were more rides for kids, it would've been a Home Run.  There was a huge turnout, in the event and in front of the stadium. The crowd grew by every passing hour till game time. The security guards held sign of the point where people where not guaranteed autographs. So, if you were behind that sign...No chance. Angels Staff were ready to take away the players, when it reached that point. I do understand there is a game to be played, but the players could have signed a few more. I was disappointed with the tickets. More the explanation of the tickets. I purchased tickets through the Angels website. It stated $5 general admission. To my surprise, I need to enter FanFest...Stand in line to exchange my tickets, for vouchers. Then stand in another line to exchange my vouchers for game tickets. I was dizzy getting a run around.  But I put it all aside. Once I entered the stadium....I felt like I was home. I had some nachos and a cold one, everything got better. The game was very exciting. And I cant wait to the season starts!!

Erick Aybar at West Coast Customs

I was watching Inside West Coast Customs. I saw Aybar name on the wall. Which they do for their clients and a clock to show there deadline. Looking around in the web and found some pictures of his new ride. I like the touch of Aybar's signature in the seats. I dont think they will  make an episode on this ride. But its nice that Angel players have style in their rides.

66ers appreciation celebration

 Mr. Reagins

 Mr. Gamboa- new Manager of the 66ers

Now it's official the 66ers are now affiliated with the Angels, as single "A" minor team. I had the chance to attend the 66ers celebration. There was a great turn out.  At the gate, they were giving away bobbleheads and hats. Also food vouchers which included a hot dog, chips and a soda. Tony Reagins and Mike Scioscia were on hand and to say a few words. The city of San Bernardino seemed to happy to have the Angels affiliated with the 66ers. The owners and coaches were very eager to start the season. And often compared the winning record of the Angels former affiliation (The Quakes).  The 66ers have a rich history. As Felix Herandez and future Hall of Fame Ken Griffey Jr. played in that field.  Add the fact, the Angels have a good eye for talent in there farm system. This has the makings of a very exciting year in the minors. And a big plus Mike Scioscia signed autographs for fans. This made it a great event. I do plan to attend games out in San Bernardino. They do offer amazing specials and give aways.  Which make it worth while to drive out there.

Veron Wells

 I  had a chance to attend the Veron Wells Press Conference. I really enjoyed it. There was a chance to meet top Angels brass (Mr. Moreno, Mr. Reagins, Mr. Hatcher). At first, there was no one in the seats. But near the time, it filled up quick. A great turn out. Mr. Torii Hunter also was in hand to greet the new player. I was about to leave, when Veron Wells came by to sign autographs. He is a real nice guy. The media bashed him on the trade from Toronto. More on what the Angels did to get him. But in my opinion...."The Angels needed to do something this off-season. And if you are a true fan, you will root for Mr. Wells. As for now he is official a Angels outfielder".  If he can play aggressive and stay healthy. I think Wells will do good this season.

  A little about me....My name is Alex. I have been an Angels fan for a while. My family are Dodger fans, so I grew up watching them. But the Dodgers have nothing to root for, since Fernando left. My boss had season tickets to the Angels. He would give me some from time to time. So that is when I stared to follow the Angels. This started maybe around 2000. I don't want to be fake and say I have been a fan since I was a little kid. I started to be a TRUE FAN around then.
   I have a lot of autographs from Angels players. My  t.v. room (man cave) have them on display. I don't mind standing in line waiting on an autograph. I meet a lot of great people in line. We share information and  knowledge of baseball.  I have collected quite a bit. Everyone from Kendrick, Abreu, Aybar, Rivera, Napoli, and Hunter. I really have trouble with getting pitchers. But I hope next year will be better.
  My goal here is to put a spin on things related to the Angels. I want to share what I know and maybe someone can share with me. Thanks
