I know I’m probably the last person on earth you wanna hear from right now but I felt compelled to express my views on your situation.
I know Dodgers and Angel fans have never gone hand in hand but I’ve always wanted to see y’all succeed knowing someday a freeway world series is possible.
Over 10 years ago, we Dodger fans had the worst ownership on baseball, that snake Frank McCourt. That snake still owns our parking lot and is trying to sleazily build a gondola to Dodger stadium, which would decrease parking slots at our stadium. There were protesters against this project very recently. I was 20 years old when Dodger fans collectively decided to STOP giving Frank McCourt our hard earned money. At one point during this boycott I was gifted behind home plate seats and I had the privilege of telling Frank McCourt to sell the team to his face, a moment I never forgot when it actually came true.
Let’s be honest here, Ohtani does not deserve your hatred. I think it’s quite sad that both Mike Trout and Ohtani’s only postseason similar experience came from the amazing World Baseball Classic elimination round. Trout has given your organization everything you’ve could have ever asked for but baseball is not a one man sport. Not even a Kobe equivalent baseball player could single handedly pull off a World Series, it is just impossible. So to expect Ohtani and Trout to bring postseason baseball to Anaheim was a boneheaded move on your management and ownerships part. Ohtani saw Trouts situation and wanted better for himself.
Trout is going to be kept hostage in Anaheim, until his career is over, a 5-tool player who has never experienced October baseball. Think about that for a minute!
I’m not here to insult y’all or rub in the fact that Ohtani chose LA. I’m here because quite frankly I’m surprised you haven’t drawn inspiration from our past situation, when Dodger fans had to band together against the very thing they loved in order to bring the changes we have today. Which is far from perfect we still get robbed in parking lot and beer prices for a team that’s only won 1 WS title in the pandemic. But much better than it was in under the Frank McCourt regime.
Arte Moreno toyed with the entire fan base of Anaheim when he announced selling the Angels and then recanted his attempt knowing damn well he’s sitting on a cash cow that he refuses to invest in. Why TF are any of you angry with Ohtani? Mike Trout doesn’t deserve this, I saw the way he played for USA in the WBC, that man Should be shopped to a WS contending team right now! But your anger should not be with any of the players.
I’m here to tell you there is way! There is a light at the end of the dark tunnel, so get your rally monkeys and take them to the streets; not the stadium or the parking lots. DO NOT GIVE THIS ORGANIZATION A $ OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. Get LOUD, make your opinions known TOGETHER as a MOB. Arte Moreno, his operations, and management team should be put through a guillotine! The Angels made more money off of Ohtani’s presence in sponsorships from Japan ALONE, and none of it was used to build a WS contending team. Think about it! You have Trout and Ohtani, and your ownership didn’t fork over the $$$ to win with them together?! BOYCOTT THE ANGELS TO SELL THE TEAM!
I miss the days when we were both in the postseason! Make the dream possible!
