Pitchers & Catchers- Day 1

Angels baseball is BACK. However, it was a bittersweet day at Tempe Diablo Stadium, as the pitchers and catchers had their first workout, they were also remembering the life of Angels legend Jim Fregosi. 

Bobby Knoop sharing his favorite memories of Jim and what he meant to the Angels organization. You can watch that video -> HERE

Mike Trout's First Career Cycle

My first sideline reporting job with the Angels turned out to be a pretty memorable night. It was Josh Hamilton's birthday and Mike Trout's first career cycle. 

It's been a fun journey with Trout. I remember talking to him the first day he was brought up to The Bigs, going to his first All Star Game, flying out to NJ the day he won Rookie Of The Year, and being the first person he talked to after his first cycle. So it's only fitting that my first Gatorade shower was with Trout. 

While he was answering my question, my producer started chanting in my ear, "Alex move, Alex move, Alex move..." I had no idea what he was talking about, until I saw the Gatorade bin being poured over Trout's shoulder! I jetted out of there as fast as I could, and made it without a single splash on me...I still have no idea how I did that. 

Happy #LOVEday

Live everyday with an open heart and an open mind :)

HAPPY LOVE DAY from all of us at Angels Spring Training

Pitchers Catchers & Racing

You can catch our Angles Spring Training report on Fox Sports West

Question of the day- what's your best teammate impersonation. Pujols batting face and Mike Trout's running face = A+ for C.J.

After another gorgeous, but chilly morning at Tempe Diablo Stadium, CJ, Hank and I hit the race track for a little adventure.

Always make time for a little fun :)

Inspiring the Uninspired

If you don't know Cory Hahn, you should. This young man is an inspiration to never give up on life and live each day to its fullest. 

Cory was an All-American & California's Mr. Baseball who attended Mater Dei HS in OC. His senior year he was drafted by the Padres and had a hand full of scholarship offers. After deciding he wanted to grow as an individual and receive an education, Cory committed to ASU. As a freshman he made the varsity team and in his 3rd game against New Mexico had a life changing injury. While sliding into second base, Cory slid head first into the players leg and was immediately paralyzed. 

Now in this new chapter in life, Cory works towards gaining motion and his independence through daily physical therapy and a positive state of mind. 

Last weekend Trinity Bat Co. put on a home run derby to help raise funds for Cory. The outcome was incredible and the support was truly heart warming.

Field of Dreams

For the second off season in a row the Angels grabbed the top free-agent on the market. Last years Pujols and C.J. pick up are now the perfect compliment to this years signing of Josh Hamilton. With the combination of Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton and Mark Trumbo, I'd say that the big A has definitely turned into a field of dreams. 

Get to know Josh on January's Angels Monthly on Fox Sports West

Angel Yoga Buddies

Angels Weekly went to Bikram yoga with Angels pitcher Latroy Hawkins and Jose Mota. It was a fun experience, but I'm not sure if 108 degree yoga is for me :) I think I'll stick with power flow.

Last week LaTroy Hawkins opened his doors and welcomed Angels Weekly into his California home. For those of you who follow @LaTroyHawkins32 on twitter, you know he his passionate about his health and veggie diet. So when we asked him to cook his favorite meal, we landed on vegan mac & cheese. 

Smoky Vegan Mac & Cheese

4 cups of non dairy milk (we used 3 cups almond milk and 1 cup rice milk)

2 tablespoons vegan chicken bouillon 

8 ounces dried whole wheat pasta or gluten free (we added a little extra)

2 cups Daiya vegan cheddar

1 cup Daiya vegan mozzarella

1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

Hippie Child

Channeling my inner 70's. 

High waisted shorts, pants and skirts are my new obsession. They make any crop top look amazing (with out feeling trashy showing a little belly). I usually tuck in the front to show off the high rise, but because my shirt was shear, I went with the full tuck.

Goo Goo Dolls & Angels

Last night the Goo Goo Dolls rocked the big A after the game, and lucky little me, got to interview and introduce the 90's classic.

This summer I've been obsessed with bright colored pants, they really add a pop of flavor to any outfit. They look great with solids, color blocking or a graphic tee. 

Peplum has been seen everywhere this summer...on tops, dresses and jackets, and adds the perfect feminine touch to any outfit. Plus, peplum totally dresses up your look when paired with skinny or boyfriend jeans.
