The Savannah Bananas understand Angels culture better than the Angels understand their own culture

They brought out John Lackey and Troy Glaus. They had guys dressed as Angels walking around on the rockpile. There was a sellout crowd.

It is not a coincidence that this event worked out as well as it did. The Bananas made baseball at Angels Stadium fun again, at least for one night. It’s about time Arte Moreno and his front office learned some valuable lessons from this event and applied them to the stadium experience as a whole. The Angels’ stadium yearly attendance has dropped from being consistently ranked in the top 7 in the 2000’s and 2010’s to being ranked 13th, at best, in the 2020’s. This team, this fanbase, this stadium, this entire community needs a change SO badly. Angels fans are starving for success.

No more opposing fans outnumbering our own fans at every game. No more locals choosing to support other teams because they think the Angels are bad. No more lack of team identity. No more doing the bare minimum just to sell tickets and stay afloat. It’s time to finally dispel all of those dark, ugly clouds of failure that still linger from this previous era. We need a complete organizational detox, and the Savannah Bananas proved that while they were in town.

Let’s all do our best to make Angels Baseball fun again. We, the fans, must take it upon ourselves to be the change we wish to see in this team, in this league, and in our community. We are the heartbeat of this team, and if our owner doesn’t see that, then let’s make it so that he absolutely cannot ignore us anymore. Let’s dust off those thundersticks, win it for the cowboy, and LIGHT THAT BABY UP!
