The Angels have had good days, but they are increasingly distant. Friday marked another of the not-so-good days, with the team announcing third baseman Anthony Rendon was bound for season-ending surgery.
In 2002, when the Angels won their one and only World Series, Gerrit Cole pounded his thunder sticks and cheered the home team to victory.
Cole was 12 then. He would play high school ball at Orange Lutheran, five miles from Angel Stadium. In 2019, after winning 20 games for the Houston Astros, he could come home.
