Due to the team’s logo and name, they are often called as The Halos, The Wings, The Seraphs and The Angelitos.
Even if the team had a hard time making a mark in the league of strong teams, they were able to get a strong support from their fans most especially in the 1970s. It was in the ‘70s when the team acquired great players like Nolan Ryan who established wonderful strikeout records. Today, the team became even more powerful with the great efforts and contribution of Jon Garland, Bobby Wilson, Rich Thompson, Garret Anderson and Francisco Rodriguez.
In 2007, the Angels became the first team in the major leagues to have won 50games while retaining a good lead in the American League West. The big improvements of the team were carried out by the powerful players John Lackey, Vladimir Guerrero and a lot more. It was also in the same year when the team successfully won the championship of the American League West Division as they beat off the Seattle Mariners. All of these big events and remarkable plays were given highlights with the team’s one of a kind photomints and coins.
