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.

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. 

Playoff Push

In our final weeks of Angles Weekly, we asked the players how they stay focused during the critical playoff push.

HALO HEAVEN

During my 40 hour bullet trip to the Angels spring training in AZ, I met the team & staff, got 4 one-on-one interviews, shot a behind the scenes segment of photo day & did a promo video and photo shoot for Angels Weekly. I'd say it was a pretty successful visit. 

Trevor Bell has high hopes to join the Angels on opening day.

During the off season Howie Kendrick is a full time dad, and his 3 year old son just picked up baseball.

If Torii Hunter's shoes get dirty during a game he will clean them between innings. "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good."

Shooting for Angles Weekly

During photo day they made me into a 3D video game character! 

This is our year...

LETS GO ANGELS
