From the dust jacket: "Just as the city that adopted the Angels in 1961 has changed over time, so too has the franchise's name - from Los Angeles to California to Anaheim and eventually back to Los Angeles (of Anaheim). Finally, there's an essential volume to document those changes: ONCE THEY WERE ANGELS details the team's rich 44-year history through fresh perspectives offered by the players who defined the franchise. Elder Angels like Dean Chance and Jim Fregosi reflect on the wild days of the team's early years, when the roster was a hodgepodge of misfits and castoffs under the guidance of larger-than-life team owner Gene Autry Alex Johnson's blistering diatribes single-handedly imposed chaos the franchise Meanwhile Nolan Ryan blossomed into a Hall of Fame pitcher as part of manager Dick Williams s 'Hells Angels,' a team known more for its infighting than noteworthy performance on the field. Elsewhere, Rod Carew and Don Baylor lend their thoughts on the 'Yes We Can' Angels of 1979, the always-opinionated Reggie Jackson shares his views on the team's failure in both the 1982 and '86 playoffs, and a one-armed pitcher named Jim Abbott recalls how he became the stuff of legend. And of course, no book on the Angels is complete without revisiting Game 6 of the 2002 World Series - a night in which a franchise's luck turned on one swing of the bat by Scott Spiezio.".
