The Angels moved out of Dodger Stadium (their tenant home from 1962-65) into a permanent home in Orange County.
The Angels won the AL West, but lost the ALCS to Baltimore in four games. Don Baylor was AL MVP.
The football configuration (added for the Rams in 1980) was removed, and the California Spectacular was added. The park became baseball-only again.
Behind Troy Glaus, Garret Anderson, and Tim Salmon, the Angels beat the Giants in seven games. Game 6, with the Angels facing elimination, was an all-time classic — a five-run rally to force a Game 7.
Shohei Ohtani signed with the Angels and revolutionized baseball as a two-way player. He'd win MVP in 2021 and 2023 before leaving in free agency.
