The Los Angeles Angels were founded in 1961 as an expansion team. The club won its first World Series title in 2002, 42 years after its founding.
The Los Angeles Angels are an MLB American League (West Division) team based in Anaheim, California. Their home, Angel Stadium (opened 1966), holds 45,517 fans.
The halo atop the 230-foot “Big A” sign lights up after home wins, and the “Rally Monkey” (introduced June 6, 2000 — footage of an actual monkey named Katie jumping, played alongside House of Pain’s “Jump Around”) became a nationally famous rally symbol during the team’s 2002 World Series championship run.
